Whats good for menstrual pains?

Question

I get really bad cramps what can I take to help relive these cramps?

Answer 1

chamomile tea, painkillers

Answer 2

If the cramps are so bad that over the counter pain meds aren't helping, then maybe its time to talk to your doctor about it, if its severe pain, there could be something else going on. i Get horrible cramps every month and there are some months were nothing seems to work and i end up having to take narcotic pain relievers (not something i would recommend.) But I like to use heating pads and sometimes a hot bath can help and never wear tampons while you are having bad cramps, only use pads, the tampon can actually make the cramps worse. Birth control pills can also help with the cramps. Sometimes you just have to lay down and relax with a heating pad until they pass.

Answer 3

Because you have really bad cramps going here you really need to see a dr about this to try and find the cause for these cramps. In the mean time you could try a heating pad or a hot water bottle to see if that helps.

Answer 4

Hi ,

Sorry too hear your in pain.

There are lots of differrent ways too help relieve this type of pain and its really a matter of finding the one that best suits you!

Using over the counter medications like ibprofen can help. If you ask your pharmacist for other reccomendations they can give you something a little stronger thats specifically used for period pain

Using a hot water bottle or heat pack can also help if your at home.

If all else fails dont hesitate too go and see your doc. You shouldnt have too put up with period pain and it shouldnt interfear with your day too day activities. I hope you find some releief.

Good luck x x

Answer 6

Actually, try going to a tanning bed. I discovered that on accident! Lay in a tanning bed for a very short period of time (unless you love tanning...whatever) it will relax your muscles (much like a heating pad but all over!) and just makes you feel good...

I try to steer clear of medication because for me personally it makes me sick instead of cramps, so for me its a "pick your poison" kind of thing. I'm not sure how you react to medication but you should try the tanning bed, its very relaxing and comforting and helps me feel better every time.
