I Can't Wait To Reach Menopause by Nobody: 12:00pm On Jul 29, 2012
I hate blood, i hate seeing it and i hate touching it. Every four days in a month i just have to put up with this. The annoying part is that i kip vommiting, purging, pains allover my lower abdomen and recently i have noticed that my nipples ar usually swollen and i can't even touch them nor lay on my chest. Is there a cure for this?

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

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.
