Increased Cramps
Decoding Perimenopausal
What does it feel like?
More intense or frequent menstrual cramps, often accompanied by back pain or leg aches.
Hormonal imbalances can cause stronger uterine contractions or increase prostaglandin levels, which trigger pain.
Why does this happen during perimenopause?
How can you manage or sooth this symptom?
Use heating pads, try anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers. Regular exercise and magnesium supplements may also help reduce cramping intensity.
