Any soothers for period cramps?

Question

So far I have asked my friends and I have tried ;

1. Bananas . (eating one)

2. Hot Pack.

Anything else I can try?

My second period ever and bad cramps . :(

Answer 1

take some painkillers, have a warm bath, eat some chocolate then sleep. if you're asleep you won't feel the pain and all this before will have soothed any pain so it will be easier to sleep :)  

Answer 2

MIDOL, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... (no, not like that!)

Answer 3

I usually just take an Advil or something but while your waiting for it to kick in you can hold a stuffed animal to your stomach and the heat from your body will help and the pressure can also relieve pain. Hope this helps. If they are persistent and really bad I would talk to your Mom and maybe go to a doctor, tiny cramps on your period but if they worse or don't go away talk to your mom or older sister.

Answer 4

even if you arent sexually active, you may want to consider going on the pill. you will know to the hour when your period will come on, and they will be lighter, shorter, and less painful. you should talk to your doc or family planning clinic. you dont need to tell ur parents or anything. also, as evil as it sounds when ur dying of cramp, exercise helps. just something light like jogging. also drink loads of water, keep your blood sugar levels high and take ibuprofen (its better than paracetamol)

Answer 5

midol works the best,

Tried and true for many years!

Answer 6

i have the same problem but i think advil but i think middle or something like that my suggustion is to ask a doctor

Answer 7

it hurts but it works.. push yourself and STRECH!!!!!! untill it hurt then walk a bit it always works for me :)

Answer 8

Midol! it works great  

Answer 9

Bananas-no! Since you are going to have this for decades you might want a prescription: Anaprox and Naprelan are anti-inflammatory drugs used to relieve mild to moderate pain and menstrual cramps. I needed 1 or 2 pills on the first day and there was no pain at all. If Ibuprofen at 400 mgs. doesn't work for you. I refused to suffer every 28 days.

If it's really,really bad birth control can ease the pain. My sister had an excruciating period and thought it was normal. She suffered until she was 40 and her doctor told her she had to have a hysterectomy from cystitis. She never asked to see if her pain was abnormal.  

Answer 10

Midol and Excedrin extra strength works good.

Answer 11

try taking a relaxing walk then take a warm bath, that helps me out

Answer 12

u can drink hot tea not coffee and lay down on something very soft like on ur bed or the couch and just relaxand watch tv

Answer 13

They suck.

You can exercise alot. (Not my favorite.)

Ibuprofen is the absolute best. It takes it away for me quickly.

Answer 14

Midol! that works so well!!!

Answer 15

Exersise helps a lot. I know it doesn't sound like it would help, but it does. It causes you to bleed less and cramp less!

:]

Answer 16

Answer 17

Well some things that work for me are:

Hot bubble baths

Easy excercise, like going for a walk

Naps

Hot packs

CHOCOLATE! (:

and if all else fails a period pain reliever like Pamprin or Midol

hope you feel better girly! (:  

Answer 18

pamprin. It's medicine. It works really well for me. If it's really bad to the point to where you can't sleep take two if it's just minor take one.  

Answer 19

CHOCOLATE!!! ( i prefer those fudgeo cookies :P)

um i also use tylenol... but i find the fudgeos mostly work and carrots :) but mostly chocolate and chocolate cookies-maybe thats just me
