Why do you feel period pain in different places during different cycles?

192 views

Hey all; a little context: My question has to do with biological woman anatomy.

​

Being a woman has ups and downs, and for a lot of us I know the pains of periods can be excruciating. I have a pretty general question I’ve been wondering.

Why do women, during some cycles, feel pain in the front of their abdomen, and other times in their hips, or back? I feel in my experience, 95% of the time, my pain originates from the front of my body. But that extra 5% is always in my lower back. (Tbh I’d rather the back pain) Is there a scientific reason for this?

Alright, let’s break this down step by step:

1. Inside a woman’s belly, there’s a special organ called the uterus.
2. Every month, the uterus gets ready for a baby.
3. If no baby comes, the uterus cleans itself out, and this causes period pain.
4. Sometimes, pain is felt in different places because the body is complex, and things like muscles and nerves can affect where you feel the pain.
5. Just like sometimes a tummy ache can feel different, period pain can change too.
