What should I do for severe lower stomach pain during my period?

Asked by Female, 24 · 1 month ago

Dysmenorrhea is frequently the cause of severe lower abdomen pain during menstruation. If it's safe for you, you can try rest, warm compresses, and painkillers like ibuprofen or mefenamic acid. See a gynecologist to rule out disorders like endometriosis if the pain is extremely intense, getting worse, or accompanied by significant bleeding.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing severe lower stomach pain during your period.

This type of pain, often called dysmenorrhea, can sometimes be managed with certain medications and self-care measures:

  • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen are commonly used to relieve menstrual cramps. There is a prescription medication called Drotin Tablet that may be recommended by a doctor for such pain, but it should only be taken under medical supervision.

  • Self-care tips:

    • Apply a warm heating pad or hot water bottle to your lower abdomen to relax muscles and reduce pain.
    • Engage in light physical activity like walking or yoga, which can help ease cramps.
    • Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet including traditional Indian foods like dals, millets, and seasonal vegetables.
    • Avoid excessive caffeine and salty foods during your period.
  • When to see a doctor:
    If the pain is severe, persistent, or worsening, or if it interferes significantly with your daily activities, it is important to consult a gynecologist. They can evaluate for underlying conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids and recommend appropriate treatment.

Please consider scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and get personalized care. If the pain becomes unbearable or is accompanied by other symptoms like heavy bleeding, fever, or vomiting, seek emergency medical help immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Could you please tell me your age and gender?
