A member asked:

Are there any effective home remedies for treating menstrual cramps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simple can work: Many prevent the symptoms before they start by taking naproxen at the first indication menses is going to start.This now OTC med interferes with the creation of the chemicals that trigger the cramping. You continue it twice a day until after menses stops.
