Post-Menstrual Cramps: Causes, Relief, and When to See a Doctor

It is normal to experience some cramping after your period has ended, as the uterus is still contracting to return to its normal size. These cramps are usually mild and should not last for more than a few days. However, if you are experiencing severe or persistent cramps that are accompanied by other symptoms such as heavy bleeding, fever, or nausea, it is important to see a doctor as they may be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
