Why do women cramp when its that time of the month?

It just feels awful.3 days of misery..:(
Answer:
Well we all dread the cramps. They are horrible and makes you feel like Sh**. But the reason behind this is that your uterus contracts to help push the lining that has formed in the last 28 or so days. By lining I mean the blood and stuff that has formed in the uterus to nurture a baby if one were to be formed during that time. you have to get rid of the lining so we will always deal with cramps.

But you can try pain medication if it gets to bad. Or if they become unbearable go see your gynecologist.
muscles pushing the stuff out
God doesn't like us that much.
cramps are caused by the uterus trying tyo shed the lining that has built up.
Your uterus contracts to slough off the blood lining it creates in preparation of a fertilized egg. When it doesn't get one it starts to contract (which is the cramping) and you start your period. Try taking 600mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours (or acetaminophen or aleve) to help with the pain.

If it's really bothersome, start a birth control pill. It lessens the amount of bleeding and is good with managing cramps.
