What could cause period cramps but no period?

Sometimes, people can feel cramps even when they don't have their period. This can happen for a few reasons.

Possible Causes:

1. Anovulatory Cycles:

• Cramps can occur when a person doesn't ovulate during their cycle. This is called an anovulatory cycle.

2. Chronic Pelvic Pain:

• Some women experience chronic pelvic pain, which can feel like period cramps, even when they are not having their period.

3. Vulvodynia:

• This is a condition where there is pain around the vulva, and it can sometimes be mistaken for period cramps.
