What to do about periods?

Hello 👋

I can give you a list of everything that COULD help with the pain:

• Relaxation (yoga/meditation)
• Sports (e.g. swimming)
• Take a warm bath or shower
• General heat (heat pads/heat patches)
• Chamomile tea
• Fennel tea
• Magnesium (antispasmodic)
• Abdominal massages
• Sleep
• TENS device (electrical impulses)
• (Orgasms)
• CBD oil (for oral use and application to the abdomen)
• Light exercise (walking, stretching)
• Antispasmodics such as Buscopan
• Kade Cycle (highly recommended! Naturally!) https://www.kadefemina.de/produkte/kadezyklus/kadezyklus-kraempfen/

Here are a few more positions you could consider:

• Bend your legs, place a folded blanket between your body and thighs, rest your head on your knees, and wrap your arms around your shins. Now just close your eyes and breathe calmly. It often helps to focus calmly and directly on the pain and, with each cramp, press your legs more tightly against your body. Relax as soon as the cramp subsides.
• Laying your stomach flat on the cold floor can also help
• Lying on your back, bend your legs

I personally use Kade Zyklus for cramps ( https://www.kadefemina.de/produkte/kadezyklus/kadezyklus-kraempfen/ ) and the TENS device.

I highly recommend the Beurer Tens device. It uses barely noticeable electrical impulses to relax muscles and thus relieve period pain. You barely feel anything, but it helps enormously. The Beurer Tens device can also generate heat, which also relieves pain.

You should see a gynecologist and have the intense pain checked out. Beyond a certain point, it's no longer normal. They won't shove a metal rod inside you; that's nonsense. At most, they'll insert a thin ultrasound device, but you can say no if you don't want that.
