Period cramp relief
Cramps cramping your style? Find comfort.
Period cramps, or dysmenorrhea, are throbbing or cramping pains in the lower abdomen experienced by many women just before and during their menstrual period. The pain can range from mild to severe and can also affect the lower back and thighs.
Relief methods vary from over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, to lifestyle changes like regular physical exercise, heat therapy (using a heating pad or hot water bottle), and relaxation techniques. For some, hormonal birth control can also help reduce the severity of cramps.
Access Telehealth provides a convenient way to consult with healthcare providers about period cramp relief. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your symptoms, evaluate the severity of your cramps, and receive personalized advice on medication, lifestyle adjustments, and other pain management strategies to alleviate discomfort, all from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Precautions
- Apply a heating pad or warm compress to your lower abdomen. Heat helps relax the muscles and alleviate cramping.
- Try gentle exercise like walking or yoga, which can improve blood flow and reduce cramp intensity.
- Drink herbal teas like ginger or chamomile, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to soothe menstrual discomfort.
Common Medications
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or Naproxen (Aleve)
