Menstrual Cramp Explained By: Stuart Smith

Most women suffer pain in their lives and sometimes it may feel as if they are being punished for being female.

For women who unfortunately have endometriosis (around 10 percent of women do) or even PCOS then the situation just gets worse. Each woman experiences the pains differently with some hardly able to do anything during this period.

Drug manufacturers were quick to formulate a remedy which most people know as Pamprin. Although many women prefer not to take any form of medication, this does you no credit if you cannot do anything for days each month.
