Many women suffer from both PMS and menstrual cramps.

    Menstrual cramps can range from mild to quite severe. Mild menstrual cramps may be barely noticeable and of short duration - sometimes felt just as a sense of light heaviness in the belly. Severe menstrual cramps can be so painful that they interfere with a woman's regular activities for several days.

    How do they occur?

    Period cramps occur due to uterine contractions and the intensity of the cramp depends on a woman's prostaglandin levels. Other influencing factors include smoking, genetics, heavy or lengthy cycles and the age when menstruation begins.
