Period pain.

The sharp, throbbing pain in your lower belly, lower back, or thighs that shows up before or during your period and can make it hard to get through the day. It happens when the uterus contracts too strongly, or sometimes from conditions like endometriosis or adenomyosis, though often the cause stays unclear.
