Answers:
If the pain from your menstrual cramps is absolutely unbearable—I once had to leave halfway through a college German final because I was crying from the pain—you should see a doctor. It is possible that you may be suffering from secondary dysmenorrhea, which is caused by various gynecological diseases. A medical professional may also be able to prescribe a stronger treatment to relieve your menstrual cramps. Sometimes oral contraceptives are used because they change the normal cycle of menstrual hormones, causing a lower production of uterine lining and prostaglandins.
