I experience pain in my lower abdomen during menstruation; what medication or painkiller can I take to relieve it?

Asked by Female, 25 · 28 days ago

Experiencing lower abdominal pain during your period, known as menstrual cramps, is very common and usually normal. For effective relief, over-the-counter pain relievers called NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, work best because they reduce the natural chemicals that cause uterine cramping. If you cannot take NSAIDs, paracetamol is a safe alternative. Applying a heating pad to your lower abdomen and taking a warm bath can also greatly ease the discomfort. If your pain is extremely severe, worsens over time, or does not improve with these medications, please consult a healthcare professional for a personalized evaluation.
