Menstrual cramps are contractions ? tightening and relaxing of the uterine muscle ? that enable the shedding of the bloody uterine lining. When the uterine lining breaks down and sheds itself each month, hormone-like substances called prostaglandins are released and can cause pain and inflammation.
