Answers:
If you are experiencing symptoms of menstrual cramps, it's important to see your doctor to be properly diagnosed!.

Although certain natural remedies show some promise, there hasn't been enough research at this point to conclude they're effective!. Here are some of the more popular natural remedies for menstrual cramps!.

Magnesium, acupressure, omega-3 fatty acids, low-fat diet, vitamin E, vitamin B1, heat (such as a heat pack, warm bath/shower), aromatherapy, massage, calcium, chiropractic exercise or you could go to the chemist and ask them for something for the pain if none of the above-mentioned helps!.

I would recommend that if painful cramps during your period is so bad that it interferes with your daily activities or causes you to miss work/school because of it, that you definitely see your doctor/gynaecologist for further evaluation as painful periods can sometimes be caused by conditions such as endometriosis which can sometimes cause severe pain from an early age (although the pain typically gets worse as the disease does more damage with each monthly cycle)!. Other causes can include fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease and sometimes a narrowing of the cervix!.

Hope this helps!. Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try using a warm water bottle or taking a hot bath!. Light aerobic activity will help!. In the future try taking a zinc and calcium supplement, because it has been found to reduce cramps, bloating, and related PMS symptoms and avoid caffeine as it can sometimes make them worse!.!. Good luck, hope you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
