What do period cramps feel like?
A. You’ve probably already guessed this, but cramps don’t feel menstrual good. Cramps are a pain. And they’re particularly a pain around the area of the uterus that is below your belly button. Sometimes they lodge in your lower back. Cramps are caused by the uterus contracting. You can get them just before and during your period. Some girls have a few period cramps, some have lots, and then there are those who have none. The intensity of the menstrual cramps varies, and you may not get them every time you have your period. They can be managed with over the counter pain relief medication. Ask your doctor for more information.
