Cramping between periods is sometimes called mittelschmerz. It means that during ovulation – which occurs halfway throughout the cycle – there is pain and cramping and even other symptoms.

Cramping between periods may be accompanied with pelvic pain, excessive bleeding, and infertility. It could be due to any of the following:

1. Urinary tract infection – This can cause pelvic pain and cramping. Look for signs such as blood in the urine as the distinguishing factor that indicates you are suffering from a UTI. Then start your remedy based on the UTI, not menstrual cramps – otherwise you won’t be successful. An untreated urinary tract infection can lead to a kidney infection which requires hospitalization so be diligent about eliminating it.
2. Adhesions – this is a result of scaring between organs and tissues, forming connections of tissue that should not be there. The adhesions pull the organs together 
3. Constipation – Constipation worsens any existing abdominal issue, including PMS symptoms. 
4. Endometriosis – this cause is associated with cramping and spotting between periods.
5. Ovulation – Some women get bleeding between periods with cramps just because they are ovulating. 
6. Parasites – Parasites in the abdomen can account for all sorts of symptoms, including cramps before your period, or cramps between periods that never happened before. Parasites have their favorite location to live in the body – some choose the liver while others choose the gall bladder or reproductive organs. At the full moon, they come out to reproduce – usually in the intestinal tract. The severity of cramping during your period may be related to parasite number and type of parasite you have. 

Your Solution to Why am I Cramping Between Periods 

If you’re looking for a way of how to stop period cramps fast, you have to first determine what the issue really is. This may require the diagnosis of a medical doctor. 

6 Ways to Relieve Cramping Between Periods

1. Urinary tract infection – Get an antibiotic if the UTI is serious or if it’s in the beginning stages, use your cranberry juice (1/2 cup every four hours), garlic (one clove every four hours), and Echinacea herb (two capsules every 3 hours) to eliminate it. Continue for three days after the symptoms are gone. This is a long term solution.
2. Adhesions – Use nattokinase to eliminate adhesions. Generally 6-9 capsules are taken every night for a period of about 30 days. This is a long-term solution.
3. Constipation – Get a colonic hydrotherapy session and then the next two days thereafter. This will clean out the whole GI tract and also assist in removing parasites. You can also take a colon cleanse formula – read the label for instructions – daily for six weeks to insure that the colon is truly cleansed. However, make sure you don’t make the mistake a lot of people make – they simply stop taking the colon formula after the six weeks and their colon function goes back to how it was before. You may want to still take a few capsules of the colon cleanse formula daily for awhile until your body can go to the bathroom regularly on its own. This is a short term solution.
4. Endometriosis – This condition needs careful planning of herbs and cleanses to eliminate it. You’ll need a professional herbalist for this condition. It’s not impossible to do on your own but the guidance of an expert goes a long way towards meeting your goal. This is a long-term process although you may see benefits early on.
5. Ovulation Issues – For this you may need hormone balancing herbs such as chaste tree berry and dong quai. Take up to 600 mg daily of dong quai and up to 400 mg daily of chaste tree berry. This is a long-term process.
6. Parasites – Stop eating sushi! Parasites live in raw fish and they’re transferred to you when you eat it. Then do a parasite cleanse. This topic is too involved to go into depth here. Herbs such as wormwood, cayenne pepper, epazote, centaury, diatomaceous earth, and black walnut are commonly used in the process. This is a long-term process.
7. Period Vitamin – Sometimes getting the foundations right for your nutrition is all that’s needed. That’s where the Period Vitamin comes into the picture. Take one a day while you’re still menstruating. This is a long-term process.
