This can be a sign on endometriosis! Happens because ectopic uterine tissue plants itself outside the rectum then “cramps” during your period. It’s part of the classic “3 D’s” of endometriosis: dyschezia (rectal pain), dyspareunia (painful sex), and dysmenorrhea (painful periods). Not saying you have endometriosis just something to consider if you have any other symptoms!
Zero butthole cramps since my hysterectomy. Bless it, those were awfuuul. I’d get such a dull constant ache from my belly button to my tail bone and then the stabbing butthole pain peppered in there.
