Exercise may help reduce menstrual pain. Exercise may be very helpful for women with menstrual pain due to endometriosis. It relieves stress and tension and may reduce hormonal levels that could contribute to endometrial growth.
Sexual Activity. There have been reports that orgasm reduces the severity of menstrual cramps.
Applying Heat . One study found that continuously applying a heated abdominal pad for 12 hours 2 days in a row was as effective in reducing menstrual cramps as ibuprofen (Advil). A warm bath may also be helpful.
Evening primrose oil. Evening primrose oil contains a polyunsaturated fatty acid known as gamma linolenic acid. This compound seems to block the release of cytokines and prostaglandins, immune system factors that are manufactured by the endometrium. These factors are involved in uterine muscle contraction and cramping. Foods that contain gamma linolenic acid include black currant oil and cold-water fish.
Omega-3 fatty acids. There is some evidence that the fatty acids found in fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties that may help relieve menstrual cramps. Omega-3 fatty acids are available in supplement pill form, but diets that include cold-water fish (tuna, salmon, mackerel) provide the best source for these nutrients.
Ginger. Ginger tea or capsules may help to relieve nausea and bloating.
Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy with topically-applied lavender, sage, and rose oils may help ease menstrual cramps.
Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol, an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, may help reduce menstrual pain and discomfort, according to some small studies.
to name a few things you can do....hope it helps.... :)
