[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been doing HIIT workouts recently and every time I end up with stomach cramps. Like low down, dull pain that feels like period cramps. Not actual muscle burn from an ab workout kind of cramp. Starts right after the workout and lasts for hours, gone by the next day until the next workout.

I am plenty hydrated. Nothing else seems off. I'm listening to my body not over-doing the workout. I'm stretching.

Any ideas?[/quote]

Ok, so this is probably unlikely, but I suffered from the same problem for years. I tried to run, but every higher-intensity workout resulted in what felt like period cramps. My doctors had no explanation and didn't seem concerned about finding one. Finally, when I started trying to get pregnant, I had an ultrasound that revealed a uterine polyp. It was benign, as most are. Once it was removed, I never had the problem again. You might want to ask your gyn. or do some research to see if you have any other symptoms suggesting a polyp. Good luck.[/quote]

Interesting. How is this diagnosed? I'm up to date with my routine medical care. (And done having kids, fwiw)[/quote]
