Ladies this one is for you, how do you manage your cramps?

So I have endometriosis and my period cramps are so bad pamprin and midol don't touch it. I use heat that really doesn't help. What do you all do to make your cramps more manageable?

I had it horrible, I found using a menstrual cup helped, adding lavender oil to my baths and also body lotion and rubbing it into my stomach and lower back, eating foods rich in magnesium, heated wheat bag and taking high level omega 3 fish oils. Also getting plenty of exercise.

@Patientlywaiting Thanks for best compliment. Hope you get some relief 🤗

Crazy as it may sound..........(and hopefully ur BF isn't a guy that cringes at the mention of sex around period time)...........but from experience with a past GF that had horrible cramps I can tell you that making love seems to ease cramps about 90%.

Ibuprofen mostly, but I’d say the biggest difference comes from getting regular cardio and stretching throughout the month. when I don’t do that my cramps are way worse that month.

@SW-User yes I have the heaviest flow ugh wear tampons during the day if I wear one at night I'll end up leaking so I tolerate pads at night so I'm not making a mess

@Sassychick420 Have you talked to your gynecologist about the pain?

@SW-User yeah they want to scrape my uterus again ugh it's been years and I know that's why the cramps are getting worse
Yogasana helps

You pray for getting older then put up with hot flashes OK I know Im being a smart ass but cramps arent funny at all I used to take medications they have and use hot compresses

I know you addressed this to the ladies, one of my daughters suffered from these terribly until someone suggested she change to coconut butter and it worked.

We have heard that masturbate helps.
