How to deal with period cramps

Take a pain reliever. Advil, ibuprofen, etc.

Step one: midol.

Step two: if you can't do midol, can you do paracetamol or another pain reliever?

Step three: hot water bottle

Step four: Doctor. This is the one you have to do, even if the other three work. If you're having pains that badly, you could have PCOS or something that could be solved with proper treatment, so get thee to a physician afterward and get checked out, this doesn't have to be something you endure. Sometimes things like birth control pills can help, or IUDs. So don't sit on the doctor's appointment, go sign up for one and have a chat with someone who can help.

I hate period cramps. They happen to me everytime I have my period and before!

I usually use a heating pad, take ginger pills and drink ginger and peppermint teas,

But most of all, I lay down and start crying because of the pain

Rest

Avoid anything strenuous

Avoid sugary foods, they can make it worse.

Thankfully I don’t have to worry about them anymore. I used to get cramps really bad. I even passed out in class with them once.

Pills, heat, curling into a ball and wishing for sweet death, and avoid italian food and oregano

I struggled with strong cramps when it started. Was getting pretty ugly. I went to my gyn and got 'the pill' for it, because it was also really irregular.

Heat is a great relief. I use a hot water bottle. Not too hot though. Also avoid cold drinks or foods like ice cream. I usually also take supplements with magnesium when I know that Auntie Pink is close, because it prevends cramps. Don't curl up during a cramp. I know it hurts and you want to become a ball, but try to stretch yourself a bit, as this helps to ease the tension faster. I also massage my lower body with my finger tips for relief.

I hate pain meds, so I don't take them.

Heating pad is key! Also, take pain medicine before your cramps start. For some people if you take the meds after they start the pain doesn't go away as much. Feel better girl
