4 | Spasmodic contractions of the uterus usually causing pain in the abdomen |

Pain in the abdomen (see below) Explanation: With or without contractions (not contradictions), although usually with. But there may be cases when there are no sudden contractions, simply an onset of pain that may also cause diarrhoea but does not come in waves (contractions). Similarly, period pains may come and go or be more constant and still be referred to as cramping. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2021-04-17 17:02:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you look at this sentence from the link I supplied: "The term stomach cramps is nonspecific and is used to refer to a number of different symptoms or sensations rather than true muscle cramps of the stomach." you can see that the word "cramps" can be interpreted in different ways. If the reader only assumes it to mean contractions, then they may wrongly ignore (perhaps severe) pain that has significance here, so I would assume that the meaning should be taken to be the same. https://www.medicinenet.com/stomach_cramps/symptoms.htm |
