Ladies, let's talk about a topic that doesn't get enough attention - butt pain during periods. If you're someone who experiences this, you're not alone! It's a common and frustrating symptom that can really disrupt your daily life.
But why does it happen?

Butt pain during periods is, frankly, the absolute worst. No, you're not the only one, and no, you're also not imagining it.

What is period butt pain, actually?

Butt pain during your period means you're experiencing aching, cramping, or other kinds of discomfort in some part of your rear end while you're also in the bleeding portion of your menstrual cycle.

What Causes Butt Cramps During Your Period?

It all boils down to the same factor causing all those other issues during your period- hormones.

As a period begins, cells that line the uterus called endometrial cells break down and let out hormones known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins can cause inflammation and contraction -and some women experience contraction of the muscles in the bowel and rectum-causing pain.

1 Endometriosis - If you have severe pain in your butt, it can be caused by endometriosis.

2 Fibroids - You will be shocked to know that fibroids can lead to achy butt muscles during menses. This may happen, as the uterus gets enlarged owing to the presence of fibroids. Thus, uterus enlargement can push against the butt and cause pain.

If you tend to have butt pain during every menstrual cycle, it is a good idea to consult an expert without any delay.
