Question

I'm 14 and i'm on the 1st day on the "time of month". i have the most painful cramps! i'm using a hot water bottle but that doesnt help! anything else i can do? thanks x

Answer 1

well what's works for me is not eating nothing sour like chile, lemon, watermelon, bananas, Orange, and take a relaxing bath and do some exercise.

Answer 2

im on the 4th day of mines! nd my cramps feel better now on the 1st day they were unbearable!!!!!!!!!!!! i had to go 2 the emergency room.... they gave me ivprofen of how ever its spelt nd it workd really wellll... soo good luck and doesnt womanhood suck?

Answer 3

i'm 14 and have the same problem.  usually just laying on my stomach and stretching helps along with ibuprofen and a hot bath.  feel better soon!

Answer 4

A hot bath never helped me but try it it may help. Drink a lot of water. Try some tea. Stay away from foods that give you gas. Like beans. I find my cramps are out of control when I have to p**p. That's when they share the same space inside. I take a natural sedative called Valerian Root. Have some thing comfortable and warm to eat like soup, and curl up with a pillow to push my belly in and fall asleep watching a movie.

For God's sake you're only 14 you don't need to get prescribed pain medication from a doctor for cramps. If they're that bad go to the emergency room of your local hospital and get checked out.

  One last thing, are you using tampons? If you are you may be blocking the blood from flowing. That can make you miserable. Try using pads for your heavy flow, and small tampons for your light days.

Answer 5

i used to get them really bad, still do, i find 2 panadol, when the pain gets really bad, a hot water bottle also helps, other than that just try make your self comfortable and try distract yourself with music, etc....and remember, its not forever,

best of luck

Answer 6

i had them seriosuly bad and woke up at 3am crying i coudlnt move, but the best thing is to have some pain killers or something and a hot water bottle on your stomach

Answer 7

hey im thirteen im sorry about your pain if you go to the pharmacie  then they will give you some tablets dont be ashamed just do it :)

Answer 8

Take Ibuprofen rather than paracetamol (If you are permitted to, people with athsma etc shouldn't) i find that helps alot, and a hot bath works far better than a hot water bottle!

edit: Co-Dihydromol is the best for cramps in abdominal area, ask your doctor as it can only be prescribed!

Answer 9

Try some Midol. That always helps my cramps. Also, try taking a long, hot bath. It always helps me if I lay on my stomach too.

Good luck!

Answer 10

exercise is a relieve to the cramps believe it or not :)

and watermelon helps too to be honest

but if that does not work then paracetamol(tablets) always do the job

it tells u on the pack how many to take etc

Answer 11

Paracetamol help me. Take 2 every 4 hours, also have a long hot bath. It never fails. x

Answer 12

Talk to your doctor and see if he can prescribe something for you. Don't just take anything in case you are allergic to something.

Answer 13

do some stretches, go for a short walk.  take an ibuprofin, and a hot bath.  all will help.  

Answer 14

if there always this bad u cood consider goin on the pill for a few months...thts wat im doin right now to regulate them n 'calm them down'.....also it helps acne.

the pill isnt only for the sexually active, it can b used for other reasons too

i wood recomend it...jst get a docs appointment

by now i usually am all moody n stuff....bt so far nothing!!! also ma acne is calming down lots and im protected from pregnancy! GREAT!

i wood try it...even if its only for a little while =]

Answer 15

There is a special tablet called Feminax. its been made 4 the use of period pains purposely, and it blocks the prostglandins that cause the pain. Dont take paracetemol, use this, its much better( I know! )

Hot water bottles really help, and take a warm bath and lie on ur tummy to relieve the pain.

Remember, having periods is all part of being a woman!! Enjoy it!

Good luck babes, hope u feel better soon.

Answer 16

take paracetamol and have a hot bath  

Answer 17

When I get mine, I usually cut back on the sugar intake and try some light exercises. Also, lying in fetal position relieves some cramps.  

Answer 18

I have found that taking a Tylenol once in the morning and once at night relieves pains, and also this shortens your period!!!

Answer 19

midol is a god send, i'm your age and i know how you feel, midol or pamprin are amazing. also use a hot pad or a hot patch/icy hot patch, you can get thoose at any local drug store.

Answer 20

Most girls take Tylenol, when actually there are ingredients in Advil/ibuprofen that relax muscles (they're not in Tylenol though). I take two of those and I try to get on my feet, since exercising actually does help (despite the desire to lay down and curl up in a ball). Hope you feel better soon =]

Answer 21

Tylenol or Ibuprofin. Or Midol.

Answer 22

Excersizing actually relieves cramping, Bubble bath, Hot pack, Pain reliever medicin (Advil, or specific ones especially for cramping like pamperin is one I think, and midol or something.)

:P

Good luck:)

Answer 23

Tylenol

Answer 24

awww gawd they are horrid aren't they?

Answer 25

Answer 26

Yes

go to your doctor and get prescribed some strong painkillers ( sorry forgot what they're called)

They really really work :)

Answer 28

when i get cramps, which i rarely do, I just go to sleep.

or i'll go for a walk

Answer 29

My Cramps Are h**l. What I Do Is Take Pills. But I Throw It Up. I Dont Know Why. My Body Just Dont Like Them. After I Throw It Up I Fall Asleep. So I'll Just Say Try Going To Sleep.

Answer 30

Drink peppermint tea, go for walks, and try to exercise! Believe it or not,those help to relax you muscles!

Answer 31

I get really bad preiod pains too, but dont lay there with a hot water bottle, it will make the pain worse. And paracetamol doesnt do me any good either. You need to excercise. We all know thats the last thing we wanna do when we've got the terrible pains but even just going for a walk can help. I also went to the doctors about mine, and she gave some tablets. Its not the pill or anything, it just regulates my period and helps the contractions (which cause the pain) . Ive also been told that chocolate can help, but im not sure if thats true. hope this helped :) x
