exercise, motrin and a heating pad. refrain from eating junk food, all the grease and salt makes it worse! try to concentrate on getting better, positive thoughts will help you!

The ibuprofen and exercise are both good to help relieve some of the symptoms, but they do not answer the question about what could be the actual cause of your symptoms. While every woman experiences "cramps" during menses, particularly younger women, those who find themselves debilitated by the pain and symptoms should work with their gyn to consider a diagnosis of Endometriosis. Endometriosis also runs in families, and a woman with a family member who also has Endo has a 6x higher risk of having it herself. This might interest you and lend some help:

Feel better.

You may need to visit your gynecologist as you may have cyst on your cervix. Good luck:)
