Best Answer

After a woman enters puberty, her cycle begins. At the end of the cycle (which is plus of minus 28 days) the bloody inner lining of the uterus breaks down when the egg was not fertilized. The liquification of that bloody lining is what is expelled at the end of the cycle (period). The uterus contracts to help the bloody lining expel. The uterine contractions are what cause the feeling of cramps.
