How do you stop period cramps without medicine?

Answer 1

They're not easy to stop even with medicine.

First, you need to relax your body. You may have many ways of relaxing, but some include such "minor" things as watching a fun movie, cuddling a favourite toy bear, listening to music or reading a good book (don't laugh: all of these things and more are relaxing and relaxation will help).

Second, keep your abdomen warn. There's a lot going on down there, so get a warm (not boiling) hot water bottle or one of those microwavable bags or bears full of seeds and put it on your lower belly. Wrap up warm and get cozy and keep the warm thing on your belly. Drink plenty of water to keep your fluid levels up.

Many women swear by having a little or a lot of chocolate when they're cramping. Try it, but remember that chocolate might keep you awake (sleep helps this a lot, so you don't want that). Perhaps Hot Chocolate or cocoa might work for you. Don't have chocolate if you're one of the large minority of women who gets migraines whilst they're menstrating.

Above all, remember that you're a human being with human needs. If you're truly in agony, there's no reason to put up with it "just because it's a woman's problem". See your doctor (you're entitled to ask for a female doctor; you're entitled to ask for a different doctor) if you can't stand the pain. There are treatments, many non-medicinal. There's also the contraceptive pill: it's not a crime to be abstinent (if you are) and still take the pill. It'll make things more bearable, even if you're not sexually active, even if you're underage for sexual activity. The important thing is to not suffer in silence: you're NORMAL!
