Cramps? [women one and only please].?

Today's the first day of my length, and the cramps are killing me! I already took 2 painkillers. any guidance?? I even stayed home from school becausee they hurt so fruitless.. The best thing for cramp nouns is a heating wad to the back, a hot hip bath and soak, and exercise (stretching and walks nil too strenuous). Cramping is the result of your uterus having spasms while trying to expel blood. Taking a pill formulated for women next to cramps is better than taking a regular Tylenol or ibuprofen. Pamprin and Midol work wonders. Be sure you drink plenty of water too, and bring back lots of rest.
