Although irregular cycles or painful monthly cramps can be common issues affecting women, they are by no means something that women must adjust to as their norm. Many intervention methods, both surgical and medical, exist to relieve and in many cases cure symptoms of conditions ranging from menstrual disorders to urinary incontinence. Speak with your physician if you are experiencing especially painful cramps, severe abdominal pain, or heavy and/or prolonged bleeding between periods or during intercourse, as they could be signs of a more serious women’s health issue.
