Answer 2

This used to happen to me when I was young.  I can remember calling my mom to pick me up from school because the cramps were so bad.  I took prescription meds, but I'd even throw up sometimes because it hurt so bad.  It didn't get better until I was either on the pill or after I had a baby.

the pill. or scrunch up in a ball so that your knees are near your chin, works for me :)

Answer 4

warm bath and paracetamol

Answer 6

Have you thought about trying a TENS machine? They can be used during to treat period pains and can relieve pain without having to take pills. I don't use one myself, although I'm considering it, but my friend uses one and swears by it.

Answer 7

Painkillers is the only way I'm afraid. It won't hurt you to take them once a month. Try Feminax, its a painkiller and muscle relaxant, you can buy them from any chemists.

Answer 8

contraceptive pills ?

Answer 11

bananas are great for period pain

and try not to binge on too much chocolate or caffine because this will just leave you feeling worse.

Answer 12

Hello Amy, I also don't like to take any medicine but just one things can help me it's chocolate in any kinds, hot-chocolate to drink, or candies from chocolate, or any cakes again with chocolate... and one more thing what can help it's you should try to forget about this pain, invite good friend/friends and try to spend good time together.... and with chocolate. ))  

P.S. Don't be afraid everything will be ok with your figure, because you'll be on "chocolate diet" just 1-2 days. ))  

Answer 13

You may laugh but do some excercise. Not strenuous just a little walking or slight jog. It will take your mind of your pain and you may enjoy it.

Answer 14

painkillers and yoga can help you

Answer 15

Try having a nice warm bath babess! Just try to relax. I find that if i get someone else to rub my belly it feels better.

I hope you feel better soon

Answer 16

There are a few things that you can do to try to alleviate this type of pain.....the pain caused by your period is generally the contracting of your uterus, some gentle exercise and even s*x!! can ease these symptoms. If you don't fancy any of that and let's face it not all guys are so keen on 'getting jiggy' at that time of the month!! then I would suggest a hot bath, hot water bottle, painkillers (Feminax) etc

If you really are in agony at this time of the month I would ask your doctor for further tests as it could be a sign of endometriosis.

Good luck x
