A member asked:
Hi i'm a 16 year old girl and i've been having really painful abdominal cramps for a bit more then a month now. my last period was agonizing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try ibuprofen: Are the abdominal cramps every day of the month? If so, I'd want you to drink more water and eat more fruit. If the cramps only come during your period, that is a normal result of the bleeding. You can ease the cramps with a warm bath, heating pad, tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Take ibuprofen 200mg or 400mg, with a snack, every 4 or 6 hours to ease the cramps.
