Best Answer

Menstrual cramps are caused by certain hormones causing the muscles of the uterus to contract in order to push out menstrual flow. As well as the fact pain from menstrual cramps can radiate, those hormones can effect muscles elsewhere in your body too. Menstrual cramps are common but not a normal part of menstruation, so look into preventing them.

Menstrual flow leaving your body doesn't hurt, however menstrual cramps can hurt - menstrual cramps are a result of hormones being released that cause the uterus to contract in order to push out the menstrual flow.
