The uterus, or where the baby would grow if one were to become pregnant. Each menstrual cycle, a uterus lines itself with blood for support for a baby, if it were to happen. If not, by the end of the month, the uterus expels the old blood and the unused egg, giving the woman a period. After it is over, the cycle repeats, lining itself with blood before eventually disposing of it.
The uterus is a muscle, so it must move itself to expel the stored up blood. These muscles moving are usually the cause of common menstrual cramps. Taking a muscle relaxant, such as Midol, combined with a pain reliever, will help lessen the pain from cramps.
