Try drinking more water before your period comes. Also if you stay active during your period it can reduce the cramps. Good luck. chicken soup?? lol, it may help?! well i use cold packs sometimes, heading packs, uhh take pain relievers. ADVILmy mom said if u stretch a lil it works..not sure about that tho.she said to do stretches that involve u bending over. Information: Ibuprofen and naproxen sodium are common over-the-counter medications that can help relieve menstrual cramps. A heating pad or hot water bottle may also make you feel better. Other measures to reduce or prevent cramps include:Walk or exercise regularly, including pelvic rocking exercises.Follow a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables — but low in salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga. Eat bananas!
My mom always tells me to take calcium, it seems to work. I also take Pamprin which is just like Midol. Taking a nice hot bath and relaxing with some candles and the lights off has helped me in the past. Turn off your phone and take a good 30 min to an hour chunk of time just to relax and soak in the tub! I hope this helps.
There’s a pressure point in Chinese reflexology that helps. To locate it, start with your inside ankle. Feel just below it and towards your calf (away from the shin). There’s a little indent in your foot there. If you feel the indent and then feel up your calf muscle on the inside, you will notice a slight groove along the bottom edge of your calf muscle. This is the point to massage. Rub up and down from the side of your ankle until halfway up your calf. Do it on both legs. This can not only help relieve cramps, but also minimize their occurence. I have used this point when I’ve been doubled over in agony. Rubbing these areas relieved the pain almost immediately and helped the cramps to pass in a few minutes. lots of sex.
If your cramps are very intense, you may want to consult with your gynecologist and make sure that you are not cramping because of conditions in your uterus (such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids).For me, the best cramp relief is to go on a brisk walk.anything athletic. It increases the endorphins in the brain which are natural pain killers, and you forget about those cramps.at least, that’s how it works for me.
I lay on my left side and also I drink cammomile tea (not sure if its the correct spelling) but it helps. Also a warm shower helps me too. I sometimes buy the PMS formula from Dollar General for $2. chocolate helps me with cramps
