PERIOD CRAMPS

Having menstrual cramps but no period in sight is certain to spook all menstruators. It could lead the mind to conjure up all kinds of uncontrolled and uninhibited catastrophes. It leads us to questions like, “why do I have cramps but no periods?”

The chances are that your cramps without a period are an indication of an underlying health condition. Trying to decode why you’re experiencing period cramps but no period could be tricky. Sometimes, you could just be suffering from cramps because of constipation, or a more serious reason might be to blame, such as pregnancy, cysts, or even cancer.

REASONS FOR CRAMPS WITHOUT PERIOD

Let’s explore a little more in detail why it feels like your monthly visitor is right around the corner, but really it isn’t.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): You might have contracted a bacterial infection while having sex. This type of bacterial infection affects the organs of your reproductive system like your womb, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. You will need to seek treatment from a medical professional.

Your symptoms might look like:

• having abnormal vaginal discharge
• spotting
• experiencing pain while peeing or while having sex
• fever
• nausea
• vomiting
• periods that are heavier and longer

Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which the tissues that are similar to your uterus’ lining start to grow on other reproductive organs. These cramps can happen any time of the month and seem like regular period cramps, only much higher in intensity.

Symptoms can include:

• difficulty in conceiving
• painful bowel movements
• pain while deep penetration during sexual intercourse
