Will cranberry juice reduce menstrual pain?

Pelvic Pain: Cranberry juice has been noted to help with urinary tract symptoms due to its acidic properties. It has not been linked with menstrual pain relief.

Never heard that one: NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for PMS / period. 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. Ginger helps w nausea.
