Signs, symptoms that your period cramps aren't normal 

If your cramps are debilitating and disrupt your daily life, it could indicate conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.

Severe Pain

Persistent pain despite taking over-the-counter pain relievers may signal an underlying health issue.

Pain That Doesn't Improve with Medication

Cramps occurring outside your period could suggest conditions such as ovarian cysts or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pain Outside of Menstruation

Heavy, light, or irregular periods combined with severe cramping may indicate hormonal imbalances or reproductive health problems.

Irregular Periods

Excessive or prolonged bleeding during your period, known as menorrhagia, can contribute to more intense cramps. This could be a sign of conditions such as fibroids, polyps, or hormonal imbalances.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Severe period pain accompanied by nausea or vomiting could indicate conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

Nausea or Vomiting

If you experience fever or chills along with severe period cramps, it could indicate an infection such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Fever or Chills

Painful bowel movements or urination during your period could be a sign of conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids, which can cause pressure on the pelvic organs.
