Question

Well as most women know the monthly monster is no fun. But when my monthly monster comes it brings crippling pain. How can i get rid of the pain without more prescription's?

Answer 1

Going on the pill will help and drink a lot of water 1-2 weeks before you start.  Also Chai tea helps with cramping.  Think you can get it quick at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts.

Answer 2

To avoid medication you may consider the following:

~try doing mild cardio

~drink hot or warm tea often

~use heating pads, or put a warm or hot cloth on your lower abdomen and vaginal area.

If that doesn't work you should consult a doctor.

Answer 5

Birth control pills can give you tremendous relief from menstrual cramping. My daughter had bad cramping during her periods and I found out through a woman`s clinic that birth control pills can really help. She started taking them and within 2 months she felt very little pain. It works for some people so you would have to try it to find out.

Answer 6

Midol/Pamprin. Warm baths, heating pads, exercise. All these help for me. Good luck.
