Is it ok to use hot water bottles for menstrual period cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Hot water bottles in general are a fine method of dealing with menstrual cramps for those who cannot or don't want to take medication. Make sure the bottle is covered to avoid burning the skin. If cramping is becoming worse over time consult your md.
