Period cramps

I get cramps and they make me really uncomfortable but they are not umbarible. I tried painkillers but they don't work at all. I take hot baths but that only helps a little. Also when I cough when I have cramps it hurts so bad, why? Also I need more...

ideas for the period thing.

eat bananas and may you should try the midol pill, I heard it works. Drink hot tea, rest a lot, also if you can try to excercise, it may help :D

What type of painkillers to you take. Normal pain killers like aspirin and paracetamol won't work as effectively for period pain, you'll need to get something with ibuprofen in it. Also excercise during your period it will cause the cramps to be less.

Try pain killers aimed at cramps, if those dont work you could get something prescription (or hormonal birth control is another option)

try painkillers aimed at your problem, relax yourself and try to put your mind on something else.
I use a heat pad or hot water bottle to sooth the pain and sleeping can help too.
