shoulder joint, the ball and socket articulation of the humerus with the scapula. The joint includes eight bursae and five ligaments, including the glenoidal labrum that deepens the articular cavity and protects the edges of articulating bones. It is the most mobile joint in the body. Also called humeral articulation.
It is common for young women to have irregular periods when they first begin to menstruate. This means that ovulation (when a womanâs body makes eggs) may not happen for a few months or even for a few years. So you may not have menstrual cramps when you first begin your period. After one, two, or three years, when your hormonal system is more mature, you might have more severe menstrual cramps.
Persistent pain after a woman's period has ended is usually a sign that something is wrong. Ovarian cysts may cause menstrual cramps after a period. Irregular ovulation may cause cramping after a menstruation. Cramping menstrual-like pain could also be the result of a recent intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may experience pain following menstruation. A reaction to birth control may cause cramps.
