Period pain

[goat]

I suffer from really bad period pain, but I hate taking really strong pain killers each month. I notice lillets are doing a new heat soothing adhesive thing that you stick on your stomach to relieve pain. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

I haven't tried it, but it looks like a great idea - a hot water bottle you can wear! It's supposed to work for up to eight hours, so you could use it all day

Before and after I menstrate I use Dong Quai treat my menstral problems like pain and bloating. You can purchase Dong Quai and any pharmacy or health food store. I've notice a difference and it really helps. Dong Quai is known as the 'female ginseng' and you can use this everyday. Good Luck :-)

The best thing (unfortunately cos you really don't feel like it) is exercise. I have noticed a huge difference in the pain I experience since cycling to work and back everyday. Also I have been told that applying heat when you have cramps may actually worsen them as this has the effect of causing greater pressure in the womb.
