A member asked:

I get severe cramping pain during my time of the month how can i reduce this pain, sometimes with the headaches during this time aspirin won't work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual Cramps: You can try Ibuprofen 400 mgm every 6 hours or Naproxen sodium 500 mgm every 12 hours and that may work better than aspirin.
