It is not a disease but a common symptom of menstruation. Therefore, there is no cure, and other treatment. The cramps occur because during the woman's body increases the production of prostaglandins. These substances cause the uterus to contract to expel the menstrual-content layer of the uterus (endometrium) that is prepared to receive the fertilized egg-case to the outside.

7. Women who have gone through a pregnancy cramping feel less
A great truth about colic in the rule. The uterus undergoes change in size during pregnancy. With the increase of the uterus, blood flow and uterine contractions also suffer great changes and, consequently, can reduce the pain of colic.
8. Abdominal cramps and premenstrual tension are the same
It is common and incorrect statement. Colic is the pain that comes and goes, is not continuous. Some women still confuse the symptoms of premenstrual tension - such as breast pain, heavy legs, headaches, among others - with colic. These symptoms may appear 15 to 10 days before menstruation, not only during bleeding, such as colic.
