Question

my periods are extremely bad i was on the pill as the doctor reckons i have endometriosis. myself and my partner are now trying for a baby so i am no longer on the pill .What else can i use to help with the pain and stop them from begin so heavy ..Nice answers only please

Answer 1

I'm not sure for the heaviness, but calcium helps for cramps, as does castor oil (not internally) - soak an old piece of flannel/material lightly with castor oil, put it on your abdomen, put a hot water bottle on top, lie down for 20 min. and relax.

Try the book SOS for PMS by Lissa Deangelis and Molly Siple. It groups symptoms by things that you might be missing in your diet, then suggests things that you can eat or avoid to gain the right balance of nutrients. Best of all, it provides recipes on how to cook the foods it suggests. The only problem is is that it is no longer in print, so you have to do a bit of internet searching.  

Answer 2

motrin!...it was the best for me when i wasnt pregnant and it is for inflammation...so that helps !

Answer 3

ı find herbal tea helps specially  dafodil tea...goodluck

Answer 4

Ibuprofen helps tremendously for pain, but the bleeding will be a little heavier. You can put a heating pad on your abdomen, that helps a lot. A hot bath is good, also. And, chocolate has something in it that helps ease the pain, so eat some chocolate. I recommend Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream.

Answer 5

I get cramps really bad. What helps mine is avoiding dairy products and food high in fiber such as salads. I know both of these is essential to health, but I cut back on them for the first 1 to 3 days of my period then add them back into my diet. Also motrin or Midol helps a lot. Don't use blood thinner pain medicine such as aspirin. Taking a hot shower will relax you too along with using a hot pack on your stomach. If someone is around, get them to massage the area. That helps too!
