How to cope with great menstrual Pain?
-
hundal repliedDysmenorrhea, another name for menstrual discomfort, may be quite upsetting and unpleasant for many people. The following are some methods to assist you in dealing with and controlling menstruation pain:
Nonprescription Painkillers:
Menstrual discomfort can be lessened by over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), or aspirin. Follow the dosage recommendations on the packaging, and if you have any questions or underlying medical issues, speak with a healthcare professional.
Heat Treatment:
The uterine muscles can be relaxed and pain relieved by applying heat to the lower abdomen. A hot water bottle, heating pad, warm bath, or a heat patch are all options.
hundal repliedIt can be difficult to manage severe menstruation pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, but there are a number of methods and treatments that can assist. To find the strategies that work best for you, it could take some trial and error because what works best for one person may not work as well for another.

Naima K. repliedCBD suppositories are MAGICAL. I use the Relief Melts by Foria but there are plenty of other high-quality brands out there if you do your research. Coconut oil is one of the best bases especially for sensitive skin. These suppositories don't just help with menstrual pain and cramps but also with painful sex if you experience that during your period like I do

davinamartin repliedMenstrual pain can be challenging to deal with even with medication. Some strategies for managing menstrual pain include using heat packs, practicing relaxation techniques, doing gentle exercise like yoga, using over-the-counter pain relief options, and talking to a health care provider for further advice and treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

shwetaaggarwal428 repliedIt's the worst pain you can imagine. You feel as if your insides are being ripped out and the sensation can last for days. When it happens, the pain is not only excruciating, but it makes it impossible to function. If you're going through that type of pain, you'll need some heavy-duty relief.

abbywarner repliedHeat can help to alleviate your cramps because it relaxes the muscles that are contracting and causing the pain. I created a portable heating pad that provides heated relief in the front and back. Happy to give a discount code if you're interested!

Kayla Lords repliedIf you feel up for it (and it would make total sense if you didn't) try masturbating -- an orgasm can sometimes (for some people) alleviate cramps. If it's something you try, I'd definitely recommend a heating pad or a warm shower first to help ease the ache and relax the muscles first.

Ronit Raj repliedWhen you experience cramps, consider taking a warm bath or applying a heating pad, hot water bottle, or heating pad because Heat can help relax the muscles contributing to cramping, so applying heat to your abdomen or back can help relieve your pain.

Naiwen repliedOriginally posted by atskitty2 View PostA heating pad always helped me. I never had horrible cramps, but applying heat to my belly or back was a nice relief until the pain meds kicked in.
If the pain meds you use only help for a couple hours, you may want to try a different medication or check your dosage.
Hope you feel better.
