To the girls who suffer from cramps & pains during their periods, how do you usually deal with it?? I think a majority of the females who are on their period suffer from either cramps, back pains, or both. Are you one of them? What do you do when you have major stomaches or backaches that don't seem to go away? I usually just take some advil >.< but aside from pills, what are some other useful methods?
I suggest NOT to drink or eat any cold stuff .. Always drink warm or hot water .. I used to have cramps and pains during my period.. After I started the habit of drinking hot ginger tea, my cramps dissapeared slowly.
Since I exercise a lot, very rarely will I get the killer cramps... but when I do, I just put a heating pad on where the cramp is & try my best to lie down. Sometimes, when the pain is unbearable, I take 2 Midols. Caffeine is supposedly bad for cramps.
I understand...and i tried lots of stuff to...basically, before period, don't eat any cold stuff, ice creams etc...and try to get some nutritional herbs..like those pak fong yun...and i also eat evening primrose oil every day...it really helps...and also try to take herbs such as vitex agnus and chaste tree...supplements such as magnesium and vitamin B6 are good during periods
Yup, exercising helps a lot...try walking for 30 minutes or do some cardio workouts...I think it's better than taking advil in the long run.
Heat pad feels good! Hot drinks and some snacks and watch tv whole day! -inlove No coffee....No caffeine i mean! No beans...any beans....even soya bean milk or chocolate drinks(cocoa beans)...coz they cause wind to be stucked in your intestine....u will feel worse when you already has period pains to deal with....dont want wind pain to add to it!-sweat -sick2
i don't usually take pain killer coz it doesn't get that bad... but when it's really bad i try to sleep on it n put hot water bottle on my tummy...
i mostly take motrin or tylenol pills. And also use more hot baths and prefer something that is hot and more relax instead of cold things.
My doctor says to exericse alot, and remain active during your period... and if that doesn't work, drink something warm, and take a nice long shower or something.
i get really bad cramps too... well i usually pop a paracetamol and go to bed works good.. but if the pain is not that bad... i will just try to bear with it and sometimes it will go away.. i was told not to drink any cold stuff esp during menstruation
i usually have bad cramps n bakpain...even both my legs became sore..HATE IT! butu usually i do the same advil! i seroiusly did not noe tat i shouldn't drink cold drinks/water..coz usually i dun drink warm water..i love drinking stuff cold
^ wat u tlkin about?? we know eachother since gr1 ahhahahha... well from other girls experice..birth control works but there r downsides and pros to it...taking pain killer wo'nt help...i get bitch at sometimes when a friend is on her period :@
