Last week, I watched my sister writhing like a snake and though i had fun laughing at her.... I think it got me to realizing how lucky i am as a guy. If we also had menstrual cramps monthly.....
I guess menopause aint all that a bitch. Maybe, you need to start looking forward to getting menopaulised. I would easily trade that(menstrual pain) for testicles... and i hope i don't have to. Having done a bit researching and thanks to my lovely mum, Google and the fairy god mother, these, I came up with, as sure methods that help you through those horrible cramps.
Take a hot bath, or place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your lower belly, just below your belly button. Those stick-on heat packs that you can find on drugstore shelves can work, too, if you don’t have time to sit at home.
People who suffer menstrual cramps should also avoid caffeine. Caffeine is known to aggravate your cramps and cause heavier flow. So, best avoid them, as it can constrict blood vessels which worsen the cramps. Also, caffeinated sodas, energy drinks and chocolate do not make it easier.
You can also try taking drugs that will relief the pain. I recommend trying non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least three months to see whether they provide relief from cramps.
Options include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) and naproxen (Aleve or Midol Extended Relief). These NSAIDs probably are most effective if you start them as soon as you feel any kind of cramping and continue taking them until the time when your cramping normally stops.
Just as you will never believe, exercises are also important for you. Regular aerobic exercise that gets your heart rate up and makes you break out in a sweat. The better shape you’re in and the more physically active you are, the less likely you are to suffer from chronic aches and pains, including menstrual cramps.
Exercise also releases feel-good hormones known as endorphins. They don’t take away your pain, but they can make it so you don’t care you have the pain.
I hope these methods work half for you as they have for my sisters, cause i had them all experimenting to see if it worked.
Like they said, avoid sugary foods and drinks too. Especially, the artificial sugar. It increases the cramps. Ideally, you experience better results if you avoid them a few days from your expectancy date.
There is never an easy day on your menstrual crampy day but indulge me when i say have a happy menstrual day when it comes.
