I have really heavy period along with excessive horrible cramping what can i do beside a hot pack?

Cramps: Birth control may help and there are medications that help with cramps. At the very least if not allergic, you can take advil or ibuprofen. However, in order for it to work, you really need to take it every 6 hours or so and start when you get the pre menstrual cramps. If you wait until pain severe, even narcotics may not help. See your GYN for other treatments.

Recommend: gynecological evaluation. NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for dysmenorrhea. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt. Get GYN eval to R/O underlying pathology. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or Black Cohosh with dr ok. Sipping Chamomile can dissipate pain.
