Question

how to get rid of painful period camp

Answer 1

well you can't. you just have to be able to deal with them throughout life. if you have a heating pad that works or take a midol but don't do advil and if you do use it sparingly. advil is bad for the kidneys. but that's how mine was when i was 13 they started off bad and i even had horrible back pains to. but hopefully when you get older they will ease up on you.  

Answer 2

stay active before your period and do mild exercise during

take painkillers (midol, advil, etc.)

put a hot water bottle on your stomach

rest; take a nap

talk to your doctor

I feel for ya...

Answer 3

WOW!! Menstrual pain/cramps is such a popular question here!

Since this is a commonly repeated question, here is a summary of answers for all the common questions regarding this topic.

EXERCISE: It's another myth. Vascular circulation has nothing to do with the drainage of blood and tissue from the Uterus. Exercise naturally kicks in endogenous endorphins (natural pain-killers similar to Morphine), but who wants to get up and run around when they are completely incapacitated with the extreme agony/misery of period pain? Only a MAN would come up with that kind of insane remedy! It's like saying 'oh, you have kidney stones? Go run it off/it's all in your mind'.!! Exercise can reduce psychological/physiologic stress which indirectly affects the menstrual cycle/system in general, and that is a Traditional Chinese Medicine/ Aryvedic Medicine Medical Theory - see EMOTIONS below.

SUPPLIMENT WARNING - ****Potassium supplimentation is dangerous and can lead to Sudden Death Syndrome ( Heart Attach), from overdoseage. I do not want to see this dangerous advice out there again! **** No western foods can help with menstrual cramps. Ridiculous suggestions like eat-a-banana are pure myth. See below for more on food. The best menstrual cramp medication over-the-counter is not Midol, Tylenol or Motrin. THE BEST OTC IS Naprosyn (naproxyn), also known as Aleve, (OTC). It does not require a prescription, its not a narcotic so there is no addiction risk and is twice as strong and lasts longer than motrin/ibuprofen. Tylenol and Midol are useless, so is a hot water bottle, for really serious mentrual pain.

MEDICATIONS: Take 1-2 tablets of Aleve/Naproxyn every 6-12 hours with at least 1 glass of water and some food. Do not take aspirin, motrin/ibuprofen or anything containing those products as it will increase the risk of bleeding stomach ulcers and peptic ulcer disease. Naproxyn is the OTC drug of choice for menstrual cramps.

You can also check with your doctor about a special birth control pill protocol (Seasonique) that allows only 4 periods a year. It's not perfect but 4 is better than 12, right? lol. Birth Control Pills in general do not make menstrual pain any less painful - that is a myth also. BCP's may regulate the period, but they do not mitigate the pain.

HEAT: Heat helps liquify the blood & tissue clots that cause the pain, easing their passage out of the body. It also expands blood flow (oxygen and immune cells) to the inflammed areas and blocks Prostaglandins that trigger inflammation and pain. It depends on the kind of heat and heat in general is still not as good as NAPROXYN. I recommend NAPROXYN PLUS either those disposable heat pads that last 8-12hrs each, or even better, the far infra-red heating lamps used by massage therapists, acupuncturists and chiropractors. This type of lamp is actually a special ceramic disk that emits a very deeply penetrating heat that does wonders for sprains, muscle and menstrual cramps, back and other orthopedic injuries, chronic/old sports injuries, etc. You may contact me through www.ibasi.org if you wish to purchase one of these far-infrared ceramic heating lamps. Be aware that these are for purchase only by healthcare professional and are at around $350 U.S.D, but seeing that this menstrual cramp issue is such a common and dire occurrence, if you are at your wits end, I am willing to help you obtain one.

EMOTIONS & MIND-BODY-SPIRIT MEDICINE: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, (TCM)/ Acupucturists, (L.AC), the Liver Meridian governs menstrual flow and associated pathologies. The positive emotion attributed to the Liver Meridian is compassion. The negative emotion attributed to the Liver Meridian is anger and rage. Therefore, L.Ac’s and TCM practioners like myself feel it is important to educate their clients and patients about Anger Management and coping skills for handing the rages and stresses of our modern living. You will find that after a few months of stress-free, anger-free life, period pain disappears. The challenge of-course, is to master this state of being, which is the value of mind-body disciplines like mental-discipline yogas like meditation exercises, mantra yoga, self-healing meditations, hatha yoga, tai-chi and qigong. Do the basics like taking in pure foods, 2-3 Liters of clean water, daily exercise in natural surroundings, 15 minutes of sunshine a day, regular meal and break periods at work, enough good sleep, being pain-free on a daily basis, having a good support system, access to animals and pets to share unconditional love & affection, and most importantly, dedication to a spiritual practice and a Spiritual Preceptor. All the above is a reasonable and effective mind-body-spirit program for reducing general pain/stress, as well as the monthly miseries and agonies of horrible menstrual cramps.

Answer 5

Aw, hon, I'm sorry. I know how you feel, I've had bad cramps since I was 11 (I started when I was 9). Try to stay active - it helps keep the blood flowing well. Also, drinking lots of water always helped me. I've read you should try to avoid caffeine, as it can make cramps worse, but I've honestly never noticed much of a difference myself. Tylenol will help, too, but don't depend on it to be a cure-all painkiller. Hot water bottles or heating pads also help some.

I'm sorry to say that this won't get rid of the cramps by any means, but it can help ease them. When you get a little older, talk to your mom about getting on birth control for your cycle, even if you're not considering s*x yet - Yaz is really good for periods. It'll help regulate your periods and help minimize cramping and bloating and acne, as well. It's helped ease my periods a lot, so I really recommend it.

Answer 6

i found the best thing to do is to lay down, but prop your feet up. Take a mild pain killer like nurofen or anadin and try to have a nap. You wake up feeling better and refreshed. Try to eat some fruit which also helps, and have a nice hot cup of tea, or hot chocolate.

Light exercise also makes you feel better, like going for a short walk, it just keeps your mind off the cramps, and relaxes your muscles.

Answer 7

take midol....if it doesnt work go to your doctor

Answer 8

Hot water bottle and a good deserved rest

It also helps if you lie on your stomach
