NSAIDS/OCPs: First make sure there is no organic pathology such as an infection, fibroids or polyps, etc. If all is negative and these are menstrual cramps, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (nsaids) (aleve, motrin) and/or hormonal contraceptives are helpful. Especially helpful are the extended cycle contraceptives such as loseasonique.
