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?

My assumption (also as a woman who has periods) is that because your entire set of abdominal muscles is connected like a girdle/corset, a pull on one side can be felt in other places – all the muscles move together and compensate for each other. Layer in the idea that your exercise/physical activity probably differs from month to month, using your muscles in different ways, probably contributes to it
Would love for a medical expert to chime in, though.
