This is of course are being experience of not so lucky ladies like me. Not so lucky because some girls do not experience menstrual cramps. And believe when I say It's not a good day when you wake up feeling groggy with the cramps. You'll rather stay in bed until the pain will go away..
TREATMENTS
A lot of medicine/treatments actually are in store this days. Women opted for this medicine, mostly I presumed because its hard to work during your monthly period with your cramps.Isn't it?, Even talking with someone pisses you off? Men should also be sensitive to women who are having there menstrual cramps.
A friend of mine take two (2) medicine at once for the pain to fade away. After sometime, we actually rush her to the hospital during her monthly period. The doctor advice her to stop using the medicine she's taking and prescribe another one. This make me think that are the medicine for menstrual cramps not safe? I actually do not take medicine for my menstrual cramp because well my sister for one was hospitalize on her first monthly period and that scared me. Usually, I just drink a lot,and lots of hot water and I try not to touch cold water.
According to WIKIPEDIA This are the alternative medicine
There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of any herbal or dietary supplements for treating dysmenorrhea, including, melatonin, vitamin E, fennel, dill, chamomile, cinnamon, damask rose, rhubarb, guava, and uzara. Further research is recommended to follow up on weak evidence of benefit for: fenugreek, ginger, valerian, zataria, zinc sulphate, fish oil, and vitamin B1. A 2016 review found that evidence of safety is insufficient for all dietary supplements. There is some conflicting evidence in the scientific literature, including: One review found thiamine and vitamin E to be likely effective. It found the effects of fish oil and vitamin B12 to be unknown.Reviews found tentative evidence that ginger powder may be effective for primary dysmenorrhea. Another review found Vitamin B1 to be effective.[citation needed] Magnesium supplementation are a promising possible treatment.[citation needed] Reviews have found promising evidence for Chinese herbal medicine for primary dysmenorrhea, but that the evidence was limited by its poor methodological quality.
