One of the many problems that hit women is the cramp during monthly periods. The pain is tolerable though but the discomfort that it gives us women can be annoying which gives us mood swings and all. But some women claim that the cramps they get are really painful. If you are of of them, read the tips below 'cause it might be of great help to you.
Take meds asap. Over-the-counter painkillers with ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are most effective when you pop them at the first twinge of discomfort (or, if you know when your period's due, you can take them the day before). They stop the production of hormones called prostaglandins, which cause the cramps.

Work up a sweat. Sustained heart-pumping exercise - 1 20-minute jog or brisk walk, for example - increases blood flow and prompts natural pain blockers called endorphins to circulate through your bloodstream.
Soak in a hot tub. Heat relaxes all the muscles in your body, including those in your uterus, so they're less likely to tense up. A heating pad or even a hot shower also will also do the trick.
Get frisky. Experts believe that sexual stimulation curbs cramps because it triggers an endorphin rush.
