Constipation hurts: The first step is to fix the constipation. Over the counter Milk of Magnesia or Miralax (polyethylene glycol) are popular choices. Ibuprofen is commonly used for menstrual cramps. If this is a recurring problem each month wit your menstrual cycle discuss the various birth control options that delay or avoid menstrual cycles with your Obgyn.
