Menstrual cramp pain is most commonly addressed with over-the-counter medications such as Midol, Tylenol, Aleve, or Advil. If these over-the-counter options are not effective for your menstrual cramp pain, you should see your primary care or women's health practitioner to rule out other potential complications that might be causing your pain, such as ovarian cysts.
Hi, you can take hot items like 2 eggs or dates or cashew nuts to reduce this pain. Medication should be avoided. Half teaspoon turmeric powder mix in glass milk and cook for 10 mins. It's the best for reducing pain.
The pill usually works in this regard decreasing the flow & cramps. There are some other meds than can be helpful also depending on the situation
