More common than you think, the feared female public villain has a name and surname: menstrual cramps, also called primary dysmenorrhea. To give you an idea, the pain characterized by this condition is present in 70% to 90% of women of reproductive age, according to the Brazilian Society of Clinical Medicine. Severe cases correspond to 10% of the total. Studies show that its symptoms go further and can be associated with others: fatigue is the most frequent and affects 59.8% of women, followed by swelling in the legs (51%), headache (46.1% ), diarrhea (25.5%) and vomiting (14.7%).

This is because during menstrual cramps the muscles of the uterus contract and relax irregularly. This exercise helps the organ to expel unwanted blood and tissue.
