A member asked:

I am experiencing excessive menstrual cramps

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Menstrual cramps: Sorry about your pain, often comes with menstrual cycle as the body is trying to get rid of waste products. You can take OTC Advil 400-800 mg po q 6 hrs for pain. If it persists, you can try Midol and see a GYN MD for further assessment.
