Menstrual cramps are throbbing or sharp pain in the lower abdomen before or during the menstrual cycle. Some degree of pain during menses is normal, but too much pain that disrupts your daily activities needs to be addressed. In medical terms, menstrual cramps are known as dysmenorrhea. Different women experience different degrees of pain and cramps during their period cycle. If it affects your overall performance and efficiency, you may need medications or other remedies to ease the cramps. Generally, menstrual cramps tend to improve with age or after childbirth if they are not caused by an underlying condition.
