Menstrual cramps

Menstrual cramps

Menstrual cramps are a common symptom experienced by many women during their menstrual cycle. The cramps are caused by contractions of the uterus as it sheds its lining during menstruation. Here are some ways to manage menstrual cramps:

  1. Over-the-counter pain relievers: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help relieve menstrual cramps. It’s important to take them as directed and not to exceed the recommended dosage.
  2. Heat therapy: Applying heat to the lower abdomen can help relieve menstrual cramps. This can be done with a heating pad, warm towel, or hot water bottle.
  3. Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce menstrual cramps by increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins, which are natural pain relievers.
  4. Relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can help reduce stress and tension, which can worsen menstrual cramps.
