What helps period pain?

Answer 1

A little exercise, even just walking. Sometimes heat helps. Hot water bottle/heating pad/bath etc. If you don't have acsess to those get a clean sock, put rice in it (not instant rice) , and heat it up for 1-5 minutes, then place on area of pain. Talk to your doctor. They will give you medication/pain killers that work. One pain killer that really helps is Naproxen. Make sure you arent allergic to it and if you're under 14 to eat it with a meal (toast, hot dog, oatmeal, Pizza pop, Mac n cheese, etc.) you can't take this medication if you're under 12 years old. So be careful. If you're experiencing really bad cramps more than one week of your period you can ask your doctor to go on Birth Control pills. They can really help. Eat foods with lots of calcium, like green vegetables and milk and cheese. Chocolate helps too, so does ice cream. Try to avoid caffeine and tobacco. Surprisingly, having an orgasm can also help ease the cramping pain so if it seems messy I suggest having it in the shower. You might want to do it yourself as it could be embarresing to bleed on your boyfriend/fiance/husband. Advil and simple pain killers on the rack can help for a short period of time. Sitting down and croutching down can mildly help for mild cases. Try to keep your mind pre-occupied and watch tv or play a video game so you're not focusing on the cramps. Get lots of fresh air. :) hope this helped.

Chinese herbal medicine appears to be more effective at relieving menstrual cramps and pain than pharmaceutical drugs, acupuncture or heat compression therapy, according to a new study conducted by Australian researchers and published in the journal Cochrane Library.

Answer 3

use a hot bath or heating pad and drink water that should help p.s my aunts a nurse i asked her and that's what she told me.

Added by another user: For me, the heat doesnt work, and i personally found that sitting comfortably and maybe taking some paracetmol, with water helps. Also, i found that keeping calm and not worrying or thinking about the pain draws your attention away from the period pains. :)
