Answer 10

Midol will work to relieve the pain BUT it also makes the period last longer because it relaxes the muscles that have to contract.... well, I won't get into that. The best thing for cramps is a heating pad. They even sell little hot pack patches... ThermaCare I think, in a red box. A woman can stick one to the inside of her underwear and wear it next to her tummy all day... the heat lasts about eight hours and it's so relaxing. A hot bath, especially with epsom salt and maybe lavendar or something else soothing will also relieve pain, but it will also "pause" the period... won't get into that either.

EDIT: Oh, also, no soda and very little sugar or salt. She should drink 100% fruit juice, especially grape or cranberry.

Answer 11

if this is happening every month she really should go on the pill.

hotwater bottle and pain killers is all ya can do

Answer 12

midol works wonders but umm she will be fine she can suck it up like all the rest of us and there is nothing you can do for her.  :)

Answer 13

Give her some wine or alcohol. it will relax her and get her to sleep.

Works for me.

Answer 14

heating pad and alleve. she is lucky to have such a caring boyfriend.  

Answer 15

warm compress is usually pretty good...

you might want to get her some midol too...

On behalf of all ladies....thanks for taking care of her!

Answer 16

Awww. How cute! That's exactly how I answered my previous answer.

If they are reall bad, just leave her alone for a day or two. Sometimes they are soooo bad that all the medicine, hot baths, and babying in the world won't help. Trust me. She'll figure out what to do on her own. We women always do!!!!!!! Ha ha ha!!!!!

Answer 17

first of all ................AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

that's so sweet

things to do:

1.put a hot rag over her lower stomach

2.make sure she doesn't eat sweets mostly chocolate and that will be hard because women crave chocolate on there periods especially

3.make sure there is silence

Answer 18

She should try and move around, even if it's just walking around the room. A hot water bottle or heating pad held over her pelvis should also help with the pain. Even if the Midol didn't seem to help I'd take another dose when the bottle recommends too.

If her cramps are painful to the point of being debilitating, which it sounds like they are, she should see her doctor or OB/GYN. They can check to make sure it's just normal cramps and not something more serious and give pain management tips.

Answer 19

fill a hot water bottle with COLD water it works wonders.Hot baths wont help cold helps this type of pain even place another bottle in the small of her back.

Answer 20

Aww youre a sweet bf, Midol works wonders, sit ups help stretch the stomach mussle and make them less painful as well. Good luck.

Answer 21

buy her midol! it's a blessing.

Answer 22

midol..pamprin..heating pad.

Answer 23

Have her eat bananas and take Midol. Midol truly does it all! It works o good. Dont have her take motrin or tylenol cause they dont help.

Hope she feels better!

Answer 24

Your a great bf!

I get the same cramps, really bad ones every month. My hubby makes me some hot tea, chamomile is the best with a little honey or sugar.

Buy an electric hot pillow, or you could just fill a plastic bottle with hot water, put it on her belly. Carefully massaging her belly with the bottle, don't push too hard.

Get her some good socks, since being cold makes the cramps worse.

Buy some Midol, its all that you can do... Thanks for being a sweet guy!  

Answer 25

aww your a sweetie! Idk though sorry i like that your so concerned.

Answer 26

midol

and or

tylenol

Answer 27

a bath will only make it worse because the cramping is from her body trying to release the blood and any clots she may have and sitting in water will hinder the process...the best thing is to apply a warm compress to her abdomen where she feels the cramps...if she used tampons, tell her to lay off of them and use pads, it will make the process of releasing the blood easier and therefor less painful..motrin never works for me...i have to use aleve...it always makes the pain a little more bearable

Answer 28

midol, heating pad and exercise helps relieve cramps also if shes up to it. your a good boyfriend.

Answer 29

from any good indian store buy DASHMULARISHTA and give her for 1 months, 2 SPOONS A DAY.

ABSOLUTELY FINE AFTERWARDS.

Answer 30

eating banna's helps sometimes i kno that sounds stupid but yea it helps a lil bit. also i kno it hurts like h**l but getting exercise like running will keep the pain away a bit but it hurts at first.

Answer 31

yeah meds, i used to be sooo anti them, but i took them once and omg the pain was gone in half an hr! but i don't want to use them all the time still. ask her doctor (or have her) they'll know whats the best meds for her besides birth control
