Ask any woman about menstrual cramps or commonly referred to as “the curse” and you will get a wide range of comments from them being barely noticeable for some women to severe enough to interfere with daily activities.  Symptoms can range from mild to moderate and can include abdominal and pelvic pain which may also spread to the lower back, nausea, vomiting, loose bowel movements or constipation, bloating in the belly area, and headaches or feeling faint.  Not exactly a time of the month women look forward to.
