How Do You Deal With Menstrual Cramps?
Have unbearable cramps during that time of the month? Here are a few tips. • Drink water. Tons of it! Room temperature is best • Take a pain reliever with a meal. It’ll take a few minutes to set in. • Try lying on your back with your feet elevated with pillows. This will force your uterine muscles to relax. • Put a hot washcloth or heating pad on your stomach. • Rub your fingers on your stomach gently. It may help you to forget about the pain. • If possible, go to sleep! Sleep for an hour or two. When you wake up, you should be pain-free. • Sometimes the pain is so bad that you don’t even want to move. But if you can get up and move around, TRY to exercise a little. A hot bath works wonders!
