7 Tips To Reduce Menstrual Cramps\n\nDid you know that menstrual cramps is the single greatest cause of lost school and working hours among women?\n\nAlso known as dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps are the cause of an estimated 140 million hours of lost school and work. However, you do not have to live in pain. Below are some helpful tips that can help women during this particularly painful time of the month.\n\n1. Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. A lot of food\ncauses blood sugar to rise and fluctuate. instead of eating three large meals, eat five or six small meals a day, each about two and a half hours apart.\n\n2. Exercise. Exercise can help alleviate menstrual cramps by raising the level of beta-endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain associated with pain relief. Studies have shown that beta endorphins have a positive effect on mood and behavior.\n\n3. Try an over the counter Ibuprofen. Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin IB all contain Ibuprofen, which is one of the best pain relievers around. 200 milligrams every four to six hours is the recommended dosage, or twice that if symptoms warrant.\n\n4. Oral contraceptive pills: Have been found to decrease the amount of menstrual tissue formed and lower the pain level (amplitude) of the uterine contractions.\n\n5. Mefenamic acid: Also found over the counter, effectively relieves severe menstrual pain while also reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, easing menstrual migraine, and easing the\nphysical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.\n\n6. Reduce salt intake: To prevent water retention that causes bloating. Also, avoid liquor and other alcoholic beverages to reduce headaches.\n\n7. Learn to relax. Rest, sleep and relaxation exercises can help reduce the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps. A relaxing massage or bath with oil made with chamomile, lavender, marjoram, ginger and/or clary sage. They are aromatic and can aid in relaxation.\n\nNever surrender to pain. There are steps you can take to help alleviate the pain and discomfort. So, the next time you experience any painful menstruation symptoms, be sure to try these tips.

drink a lot of fluids. Avoid things like pudding and coffee. Caffiene makes you urinate more and you need a lot of fluids when you're on your period because of the loss of water with blood. Take Buscopan plus if you could get the pills. If you can't find plus just take Buscopan and panadol with it. Very good with cramps. Choose to drink warm fluids rather than cold.

DRs will advise you to go on birth control to help with severe cramps, but make sure they check you out for Endometriosis first.\n\nFor my cramps I take a warm bath and use a heating pad. \nAnd I take extra strength tylenol sometimes. I'm not a big pill popper, but have on occasion taken a pain killer prescribed by my Doc when the cramps were so bad I couldn't walk.\n\nHydrating yourself is a good idea since muscle cramping can be worse when muscles aren't properly hydrated\nand exercising can help a great deal...assuming the cramps aren't so bad that you can't walk straight.

Yes, your body is trying to store up nutrients because you going to lose a lot once you start to flow.\n\nIf you have painful periods eat green leafy veggies like broccoli, cabbage, romaine lettuce, and collar greens.  It will lessen your flow and ease your pains.  It's the high amounts of natual vitamin Bs that do the trick. Pills won't work.

Start taking Calcium Citrate twice a day. Bunch of recent studies have shown this can really help. \nI have wretched cramps and every doc I've asked has recommended this. (I've just been lazy about doing it.) \nshort of that, I love the midol (always take with food or you will pay for it when you're older!) and I like to use those thermacare pads or a heating pad.

From my experience... you can try a couple things. \n1. Try douching with warm water.\n2. Try masterbating/intercourse.  your "chemicals" have been know to speed up the menses. \nI use to play the "hurry it up" or "push it up" when I was on the BC pills for the weekends with B/f but that worked with pills. \nHowever, I dont think your can completely stop mother nature...once its started.  try hurrying it up.

Advil, a hot bath, a hot water bottle or masturbation/sex. Orgasms are good for cramps.

Try heat. I had endometriosis so bad I eventually had to have a hysterectomy. My doctor gave me ibuprofen 800 mg (the prescription strength) and a med. for stomach (Prevacid), but what worked best for me was heat, esp. moist heat. I used to put rice in a tube sock 2/3rds full, tie a knot in it, and toss it in the microwave for 2 or 3 min., and used it. They also make those heat wraps that you can buy at the store that also work well if you are somewhere you can't carry around heat or keep a heating pad plugged in. Hot liquids also help - try drinking herbal teas. Also - make sure you don't get constipated -that'll only make things worse. If your OBGYN hasn't helped you, then you should really pin him down and make sure he understands how bad these cramps are. There are new drugs out there that are not pain killers, and can help you. If he dismisses your symptoms, I'd look for a different doctor. Ask some of the women in your area who they use, and get some recommendations. Good luck!

Midol if the pain is mild. Ibofuren does help, & a heating pads always good. When I have cramps though, i usually, take (depending on how bad the pain is ) midol/tylenol/ibofuren ( i no i speled it wrong)  & i avoid chocolate & wat not. Also afte ru take the medicine, get a heatin pad & lay down, & fall asleep (listen to calming music) & iyou pray (it reallllllyyy works) . YOu can take birth control pills, but reallly, dependin on each individuals body..it doesnt help much.

start taking the medication a day before you expect the pain....once it starts, it's harder to stop\n\ntry a heating pad or a warm bath and try to relax....sometimes breathing exercises even help\n\nalso, make sure you eat healthy and exercise regularly....I can't believe when I get off track how much worse my cramps are!\n\nyou might want to talk to your doctor, they could give you a prescription for the pain and check for any possible problems such as fibroid or endometriosis\n\nwhen I was your age, I had horrible cramps, and I got on birth control pills a couple of years later, and that reduced the pain probably by 80%.....so you may also talk to your doctor about that

Apple Cider Vinegar works fast in slowing down a heavy cycle. Wow! I discovered this quite by accident after I started drinking it. I recommend it for every woman suffering from a heavy flow!"\n\n"Drink 1 or 2 glasses of tomato juice, especially V-8, every day. You'll see significant improvment in your flow, and fewer cramps in your next period\n\n"I also found water helps. Laying in the bath (for 30 to 60 minutes or so depending on your situation) really seems to work well

If anything, a nice warm bath while on your period would help ease cramps, relax you, and is just what the doctor ordered!\n\nI have never personally experienced any bad effect from this.

Soak in a hot bathtub then lay down afterwards with a heating pad.  Also try taking Midol or some other form of pain reliever.  If you have bad cramps every month, I would suggest speaking with your physician and perhaps asking for a prescription for Anaprox which is like a prescription Midol.
