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?

You can have pain at ovulation on either the right or left side. Sometimes one side will be worse, especially if you have cystic ovaries.
Menstrual pain can happen anywhere around your uterus because the cramping can happen in other muscles, notoriously your back, but also bowels.
It seems like there can be a good and bad ovary, like one that tends to give worse symptoms than the other. Also, because the hormones are being produced by the follicle that shed the egg that cycle, some follicles can be slightly different than others. So some months you might be pretty okay and others you’re in agony.
Hormones are a helluva drug.
