Answer:I'm sorry for you, period pain is horrible.
I would try lying in a warm, deep bath for half an hour or so to relax your muscles. Once you have got out of the bath put on some loose, warm clothes and lie on your side and draw your knees up to your chest. Rest the hot water bottle against your tummy.
Try some deep breathing to calm you, as the more anxious you become about the pain the more intense it will become. Keep taking the painkillers at the prescribed intervals. Some gentle exercise might also help, although I know it is difficult when you feel so awful.
If you find that you are having heavy periods each month that cause you bad pain it might be worth speaking to your G.P. to see if he/she could offer you some help.
I hope you soon feel better. x
Answer:Indeed up to 80% of women are expected to experience period pains at some time during their in their lives. Period pain is not a sign of a serious underlying problem and can be treated with a variety of self-help approaches. Secondary dysmenorrhoea is used to describe pain around the time of a period that is caused by an underlying problem.
The cause of period pain is not certain. However it may be related to a natural chemical that are released in the lining of the uterus once an egg has been released from one of the ovaries. This hormone like substance called prostaglandin causes the walls of the uterus to contract. Some women produce higher levels of prostaglandins, which may cause increased contractions of the uterus and what has been described as muscle cramps.
Many women find a hot water bottle held to the abdomen or back is comforting. Alternatively heat packs that can be warmed can also be applied to achieve the same effect
Initial treatment is focused on relief of pain. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen and mefenamic acid can be helpful. NSAIDs work by blocking some of the chemicals in the body that play a role in the inflammatory process which causes pain and swelling. It is important to know that some NSAIDs take 1-2 weeks before the full effects can be felt, whilst other NSAIDs work within a few hours. It is important, therefore, to check with your pharmacist how long you should expect to wait to feel the pain relieving effects of the NSAIDs you are planning to take. One of the possible side effects of long term use of NSAIDs is gastrointestinal irritation.
There are also painkilling tablets available that contain the drug, hyoscine (eg Feminax), that may help prevent the muscle contractions.
Answer:you need to see your doctor who can prescribe you medication for it. I've suffered from chronic period pain (Dysmenhorrhea) since the age of 16 for the first two years of my period I had no pain at all then wham. It's very disruptive to my life and can get so bad i'm physically sick. I'm on Mefanamic Acid tablets. The pain is so bad i'll take anything if it gets rid of the pain. Unfortunately with these tablets I find that they can take a while to kick in so I still have to put up with a degree of pain, the next medication up from that is a contraceptive pill, as i'm not in a sexual relationship with anyone i've been reluctant to take this so I have got by on the Mefanamic Acid pills. It's very distressing as each month I have to schedule things as best I can around my period. Sometimes I get sharp pains a week or so before I even come on. It is best you see your doctor who can give you a professional diagnosis and just make certain it isn't something more serious, which i'm pretty sure it isn't but it is best to get peace of mind from someone who knows.
Answer:i know how you feel i suffer with very bad pains aswell
i used to hate swallowing tablets aswel but i did it i think you should really try the doctor gave me the tablet called ponstan especially made for period pains i know there are many other tablets available too but anyway.
you should just relax and swallow it it can be easier if you use a fizzy drink you help the tablet go down, if you really dont want to though go to your doctor and ask if they know of any liquid medicine that can be more helpful than calpol. i really would suggest you try the tablet though i remember the feeling of thinking it would choke me or something but believe me if you relax you will be fine tablets are soft anyway so they just slide down and im sure at some stage in your life you wil have to eventually swallow tablets when there is no alternative, there is also a tablet crusher available but you cant crush certain tablets..
good luck
