What to do if i had debilitating cramps before ever having had a period, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your gyn: Cramps are common before periods. However, the degree of pain experienced varies from person to person. Commonly, ibuprofen is a good first line drug to use to combat pain. Alternatively, other medications can also be utilized to control the pain you have during your period.
