Ways Relieve Period Pains - April 13th 2011, 04:24 PM

I noticed a lot of people seem to be posting about period cramps, both in here and the Sex and Puberty forum. I thought making this thread would be useful. Below are some ways that can help you get through you period cramps

Over the counter painkillers (e.g acetaminophen)

Prescription painkillers for intense pains (e.g Codeine)

Hot water bottle

Heat pads

Birth control

Exercise

Distract yourself by doing something you enjoy

Zinc and calcium supplements have been found to reduce cramping

Stay hydrated

Having a warm bath

Relax more and reduce stress levels

Eat more healthily around the time of your period

Reduce caffeine intake as that can cause cramps to be worse

Certain herbs and spices such as cinnamon and ginger

Orgasms are known to help with pain

Reduce intake of salt before starting your period

Avoid standing for long periods of time if you get back pain

Gentle stretches can help

Take a nap

Thank you , Thank you , Thank you Cara!!! You dont know how much could help me because they make me cry sometimes

I'll try some calcium packets.
And the one time my mom told me to drink some coffee because it makes it feel better, she was sooo wrong! It made it worse!
Anyway when it happens again, I'll try this.
THANK YOU CARA! <3

BANANAS.

I don't particularly like them, but I slice them up and eat them when I get cramps, and they are a great help (:
