Abstract
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, up to 20% of women suffer from menstrual cramping severe enough
to interfere with daily activities. If prostaglandins levels are higher, more pain is often associated with the cramps. Cycle length,
blood loss, period-related symptoms, fluid color, and consistency are all highly variable, even for just one person. However, severe
menstrual pain is likely to be caused by a health issue such as PMS, fibroids, or endometriosis and requires medical support. When
researchers analyzed frequency and duration of exercise and compared it to reports of period pain, they found exercise did little to
reduce discomfort, and in fact this persisted even when a range of other factors-including weight, ethnicity, smoking and use of the
birth control pill-were taken into consideration. Some women may also prefer not to use hormonal contraceptives, as they can bring
unwanted side-effects such as fluctuations in weight and mood. Some methods can also slightly raise the risk of certain cancers,
including breast cancer (although they reduce the risk of others, including womb cancer).
