menstruating

I used to have menstrual cramps very bad. My daughter also has bad cramps. I have learned from my mother a yoga stance that helps alot. You set a pillow on the floor and lay your head on it. Put your head to one side and bring legs up under you until your bottom is up in the air and your legs are up and chest flat on the floor. Lay there for about ten minutes. It has always helped up and I hope it does you.

I've checked till the last minutes ago, and no, I never felt that before since I'm a male :p

I'm not sure if you can take an aleve tablet its a pain reliever, but if you can good aleve are best because they last a long time and they have no caffeine and hot chocolate or tea, and relax lay down or sit and relax for while the sick stomach usually goes away with the cramps once the cramps are gone the nausea should go too. hope this helps.

wow..it`s bad news for you indah..i do hope your menstruating can not stop your activity in daily lifes and mylot :).. i am man so i never got the problems like you... i dont know why many womans feels ills when got menstruating ask the doctors..unfortunatelly iam not a doctor..iam an engineer :)

hello indahfth, menstrual cramps can range from mild to quite severe. the mild menstrual cramps may be barely noticeable and of short duration - sometimes felt just as a sense of light heaviness in the belly. but severe menstrual cramps can be so painful and they interfere with a woman's regular activities for several days. i think hot compress in the belly can help you out. place hot water in rubber bag and directly put on aching belly.taking pain reliever will also be of help. and try to have a bed rest. i hope this helps you. ann

Hi, I believe you are facing menstrual cramps and it can be very pain. I did experienced it before during my teenager. It was so pain,that I feel lazy to wake up and do thing, I will only feel comfortable lying on my bed and have a good rest and mine can last for 1-2 days. Do you ever heard of PANADOL for menstrual cramps? you can get it from pharmacy and see whether it helps you up or not. If the pain occured almost every month, then I advise you check with doctor for some medical advices. Takecare..

For me the first day is always the worst. Lavender seems to help a little bit.

hi indahfthh sometimes some woman have light to severe cramps and I had the severe kind. I took midol and laid down for while with a hot watter bottle om my tummny . In a few hours I will'feel much better.Fortunatley I am way par the age of menopause thank goodness for that.

yes, sometimes it happens, usually this is solved by putting a little food in my stomach.

I clearly never (and will not ever) experience this. Drink a lot of water and lay down, that's the best solution you can take. Also, never be dependent to painkiller or medicine, because that's not good for you. This is because your stomach contracts rather hard this time.

maybe you catch by the cold or'masuk angin'. I often felt it when menstruating. all i do is just drink some warm water to relieves the pain. I also drink ; Kunir asem' to make my menstruating go smoothly

Ginger helps with stomach pains and is a natural remedy. If you can, sip ginger tea or drink ginger ale. I am not sure if these are available to you but if they are they can really help with pain in the stomach during menstruation or even during bouts with the flu.

I also now feel the same way with you,I had 2 days of menstruation and my stomach felt unbearable pain, I have been taking medication but the pain is still there, then I try to buy herbs Kiranti finally my stomach hurt a little bit reduced. what you already take medication or see a doctor examined

it is rarely for me to get ill with my stomach. i think the ill came up because our blood circulation doesn't work properly. Maybe we can help it with exercise, take jogging twice a week or something else regarding the exercise...good luck

I have had painless menses till the end. It is a history now as I have passed over it. You should avoid cold drinks and food.

I would if I were you take a midol or Aleve with a cup of tea and if you have a hot water bottle put it on your pelvic area. Take a nap and you should wake up feeling so much better.Hope this help you and that you are feeling better real soon.

We as women go through so many changes within our bodies. Men do not go through things like we do. So there can be times when unexpectedly we get much more pain then any other time. I know this feeling oh so well. Drink some warm tea, a muscle relaxer helps, but ultimately use a hot water bottle on your tummy and time will elevate all the pain. I hope you feel better soon.

Perhaps you are experiencing dysmenorrhea. Or it is also called menstrual cramps. It is pain felt during menstrual periods. Although this is said to be nothing really serious and is normally felt by a lot of women, the pain is really unbearable at times. Some could hardly walk. Mild pain killers may help alleviate the pain. When your menstrual period is gone, the pain goes away too. Another way to relieve your discomfort is to press a pillow against your stomach and lie on your back. You may also apply warm compress on the area. Then again, it is best to see your OB-Gynecologist and have it consulted. The doctor is the best person to check out the source of your pain.

I'm a guy so I don't really know how this feels... but I know what my girlfriend does when she feels ill during her days. She takes warm water then goes to sleep. She's usually better after.

That is just normal feeling during our monthly period, that is what you call dysmenorrhea.
