Sweetheart, ur menstrual pains cannot be compared to mine. It's so painful that my labour pains is yet to come to 1/5th of it. Well, the good thing is that after giving birth to my first baby, the pain ended just like dt. Also, if u think menopause is the ish, then my dear, think again. You can google menopause symptoms to know that it is a different hell on its own. Good Luck. Oh, and as for solutions to your pain, I doubt pain killers will help me since it did nothing for me but I had learnt that oral contraceptives works wonders. I avoided all drugs at some point cos I was afraid it will affect my fertility. So, endure it till u give birth to ur lil one. Good luck 2 Likes |

Reduce Menstrual Cramps Having your period is hard enough without any complications. Now you have to deal with cramps on top of the hormonal imbalances and the regular side effects! Cramps are caused by the contraction of your uterus as it sloughs off the fertile layer it had prepared for a possible pregnancy; if there is an absence of a fertilized egg after ovulation has occurred, the uterine wall swells and sheds. Menstrual cramps are usually side effects of greater-than-normal uterine muscle contractions. The pain occurring during these contractions can be mild, moderate or severe. Menstrual cramps have been known to occur in the abdomen (in the general area of the uterus), the lower back, and, in some cases, the legs. Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and other pain medications can be used to dull the pain-- however only prescribed doses are recommended for treatment, as harmful overdoses are always a possibility Steps Stick to a healthy diet. This includes plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as plenty of water. Attempt to keep track of how particular foods affect your period. Plenty of fiber is particularly useful in cleansing the body of excess estrogen (which can lead to heavier and more painful periods and cramps). Take dietary supplements. Some studies indicate that Vitamin E, thiamine and Omega-3 supplements may reduce menstrual cramps. [1] Zinc and calcium have been found to reduce cramps, bloating and related PMS symptoms. [2] Calcium and magnesium reduce muscle soreness, but must be taken for 2-3 months every day before producing a noticeable effect. Make sure to have regular health check-ups to ensure health . Mention to doctors any menstrual problems you feel you might be having, and take into consideration how conditions such as IBS or anemia may make you feel during menstruation. In addition, menstrual cramps can be caused by an underlying disorder such as endometriosis or fibroids, in which case the surgical removal of tissue may be required to help alleviate your symptoms. [3] Avoid Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens . Some new scientific evidence points to xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens actually causing menstrual cramps. Xenoestrogens are simply "foreign" estrogens that are not really estrogen but mimic estrogen. Xenoestrogens can be chemicals present in items used in every day life such as lotions, shampoos, and laundry detergent. Phytoestrogens are plant estrogen's that can be found in some herbs. Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens can cause Magnesium and Vitamin B deficiencies. A Magnesium deficiency can cause muscles to cramp. A Vitamin B deficiency can cause Neuropathy. Think Restless Leg Syndrome. Topical Natural Progesterone can also counteract xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens, if the body load of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens is not too high. If the body load of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens is too high, then topical Natural Progesterone may actually temporarily increase menstrual camps. Use painkillers around the clock as soon as you notice your period . Non- steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs), medicines such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc.) or naproxen (Aleve) actually reduce menstrual blood flow not just the pain associated with menses. Acetaminophen, while helpful for the pain, is not nearly as effective as the NSAIDs. Many women find that painkillers can decrease menstrual pain. If you can't tolerate ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, simple aspirin or acetaminophen can help a lot. The effectiveness of NSAIDs builds up over time, so if your cramps are so severe that the painkillers don't do much, start taking ibuprofen every six hours up to a couple of days before you expect to get your period and continue until your cramps abate. If over-the-counter NSAIDs do not help, your doctor may prescribe a prescription NSAID such as mefenamic acid (Ponstel). Take hormonal birth control. Birth control pills contain hormones which prevent ovulation and reduce the severity of menstrual cramps. [3] This is why your doctor may recommend birth control pills for menstrual cramps. The same hormones can also be delivered through injection, a patch you wear on your skin or in a flexible ring you insert into your vagina. Lie in different positions. Laying on your side with your knees tucked into your chest can temporarily reduce the pain. Some people say to lay face down on the bed, with your face in a pillow. Stick your butt up in the air. This will relieve gas and help you feel better. Also try lying on your back, keeping your feet elevated by pillows. Try placing a hot water bottle or heating pad on your abdomen . This helps ease your muscles. A hot wash cloth or even just a warm blanket can also help. According to the Mayo Clinic, this appears to be just as effective as over-the-counter pain killers. Also try taking a hot bath of shower [4] If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one. Do some mild exercise. Walk around the neighborhood, run on the treadmill, go ride your bike, or any other exercises you enjoy. This will increase blood flow which will help the cramps go away. [5] Use the body's own pain-killers. If you're worried about over-use of traditional pain-killers, or they are not available, you may also wish to make use of the body's own pain-management mechanisms. Distract yourself from the pain. Distraction is one of the most powerful and readily available painkillers. So if you have intense cramps, do something that normally totally absorbs you, such as socializing with good friends, reading a book, playing a computer game, or spending time on facebook. Get regular exercise. Exercise increases your overall serotonin levels. Serotonin is the body's own painkiller, and also makes us feel happier. Sexual activities do help anything with the menstrual cycle. Try to get as much as possible. Orgasm releases oxytocin, which causes uterine contractions, which eases pain. Try acupuncture, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, may help to relieve pain associated with menstrual cramps . Acupuncture has been used as a pain relief method for over 2,000 years. Hair-thin needles are placed into the skin on specific locations on your body. The needles do not cause pain for most people. Engage in stress reduction activities such as yoga, massage and meditation as they may ease the pain of menstrual cramps . Have a glass or 2 of wine; alcohol thins blood . Try to wear clothing that doesn't pressure your abdomen, such as all- in-ones . They are comfortable, warm and help reduce period cramps caused by tight clothing. Dance Direct sell some good-quality ones. |
