What does a period stomach ache feel like?!


Question: What does a period stomach ache feel like?
I have had stomach pain for the whole day. It's like really low and it's not too bad but sometimes it is? I feel really yuck. I have a heavy period but I have never had the stomach aches before??? Thanks xx

Answers:

Yeah, that sounds like period pains.
You may not have had them before, but you can suddenly just get them. Some people - lucky bug*ers- don't get them.

They can be described as cramping - just hurts and your stomach can feel kind of tighter -, sharp shooting pains, or just a normal stomach ache. Period pains tend to be in your lower stomach, (round abouts where your womb, ovaries, etc) are.

Try having a hot bathe, holding a hot water bottle on your stomach, rubbing your stomach, having a pain killer such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, lying still or some people say chocolate helps!:)

If your really heavy period persists, go to your doctor. It's highly likely everything's fine, but if it lasts long and is heavy, it's best to get checked out, and sometimes they give better painkillers:D

Hope i helped xx



Have you ever ate something that really upset your stomach? lt's kind of like that, except you don't go to the toilet and do a number2 (unless you're REALLY cramping as it can also cause diarrhoea.) lt's not awfully bad. Some paracetamol and a hot water bottle will do the trick but it is still painful unfortunately. However; all girls are different! We all have different pain threshold as well.



It can vary from a slight dull ache to feeling like full on contractions, it's normally low on the belly and can spread to the back too. Best thing to do is take some ibuprofen and maybe get some heat patches of a hot water bottle. There;s not much else that can be done about it otherwise, which is **** for me, as mine can be excruciating.



My pain lasts a couple of days low down and in my back and my head usually aches quite bad the first day so I make sure I take a couple of ibuprofen and then I don't feel it. Have a nice hot bubble bath and try to relax.



My cramps are bad and my period is heavy too. Just take cramp pills and drink alot of water it works for me...maybe it will work for you! GOODLUCK!

me :)



Mines hurt really bad.
