Periods cause much discomfort and virtually every woman knows that. Indeed, period cramps can be unbearable. While some women live a usual life and do not feel any discomfort during monthlies, others suffer from real tortures. You do not have to suffer this pain any more. There are a few tried-and true methods that will help get rid of cramps and enjoy your life irrespective of whether "these days" have come or not.

What cause menstrual cramps?

Dysmenorrhea is a common medical term for painful monthlies. This condition is usually passed via a woman's genes and begins in adolescence.

During menstruation the level of hormones in a woman's body undergoes certain changes, which results in the release of prostaglandin. This chemical attacks uterus and causes its frequent contractions. This is when you start feeling pain in the abdominal area. Generally, menstrual cramping starts on the first day of bleeding and may last for several days.

Seven simple tips that will help you avoid menstrual cramps.

Take a warm bath. Warm water helps relieve painful uterine contractions. Make sure the water is not very hot and do not bath for too long. If the pain is severe this method may not work and therefore you may need further treatment.
Try different lying positions. Some women say cramping becomes less painful when they lie the face down, others feel better lying on the back and putting feet on the pillows or wall. You may also lie on one side and tuck knees towards the chest.
Exercising. If you cannot find enough reasons to attend a gym, cramping should become your greatest motivation. It is proven that regular exercising (about 30 minutes of exercising 5 days a week) can significantly decrease painful feelings. Actually, performing exercises is possible even if you are not visiting a gym.
Use painkillers. Take painkillers once you notice the first signs of cramping. The sooner you take a pill, the more chances you have to avoid sever pain.
Have sex. Its is medically proven that sex helps normalise menstrual cycle. During orgasm body releases oxytocin which causes uterine contractions and pain. Thus have sex as often as possible. However, this method is suitable for women who have a regular sexula partner.
Consume less coffee and alcohol. If You suffer from regular menstrual cramps decrease the consumption of alcohol and coffee, as these beverages make cramping worse.
