Period Pain Is Common — But Not Normal

If your monthly cycle leaves you curled up in bed, missing work, relying on painkillers, or feeling physically drained, you’ve likely been told, “It’s normal… every woman goes through this.”
But here’s the truth: severe period pain is NOT normal.
Yes, mild cramping can be part of menstruation, but sharp, debilitating, or disruptive pain is your body’s way of signaling that something deeper is going on. At Klinik Q, we help women understand what their periods are really trying to tell them — and how to fix the root cause instead of suffering in silence.

Why Period Pain Happens in the First Place

Menstrual cramps occur when the uterus contracts to shed its lining. But when your body produces too many prostaglandins (chemicals that trigger contractions), the pain becomes stronger and more intense.

Normal discomfort feels like:

• Mild cramping
  
• Lower back heaviness
  
• Slight pressure in the abdomen
  

Abnormal pain looks like:

• Pain that disrupts daily activities
  
• Intense cramps that start days before bleeding
  
• Nausea, vomiting, dizziness
  
• Needing frequent painkillers
  
• Pain radiating into your legs or lower back
  

If this sounds familiar, your pain is not “just PMS.”

Signs Your Period Pain Is a Red Flag

1. Endometriosis

One of the most common causes of severe period pain. This happens when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
Symptoms include:

• Stabbing pelvic pain
  
• Painful intercourse
  
• Chronic fatigue
  
• Digestive issues
  
• Infertility
  

2. Adenomyosis

This condition occurs when endometrial tissue grows into the uterine muscle, causing heavy bleeding and intense pain.
Women often describe it as:

“My uterus feels bruised and heavy.”

3. Fibroids

Non-cancerous growths that can cause:

• Heavy periods
  
• Sharp pelvic pain
  
• Bloating
  
• Pressure on the bladder
  

4. Hormonal Imbalance

Too much estrogen and too little progesterone can worsen uterine inflammation and cramping.

5. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Often caused by untreated infections — symptoms include pain, fever, and unusual discharge.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Painful Periods

When hormonal or reproductive issues go untreated, they can lead to:

• Fertility challenges
  
• Chronic pelvic pain
  
• Anemia from heavy bleeding
  
• Hormonal burnout
  
• Declining quality of life
  

Pain is not a “women’s duty.” It is a health warning.
