Is it good to always use painkillers for menstrual pains? because i always do take painkillers that but don't want to get addicted to them.

Depends: Requiring nsaids like Ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) for menstrual cramps is common. If you are requiring narcotic pain medications, you should talk to your doctor about this. There are other medications, like birth control pills, that can reduce menstrual pain.
