You can manage menstrual cramps with regular exercise, gentle stretching, heat therapy, and over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, if suitable for you. Heavy periods may be managed with iron-rich foods, adequate hydration, and hormonal therapy, so seek medical advice if bleeding is excessive or persistent.

Please consult your doctor or a gynaecologist to discuss management options, such as hormonal treatments or laparoscopic surgery, to reduce endometrial tissue and ease your symptoms. Your doctor may also prescribe regular pain relief, such as ibuprofen if suitable, or suggest pelvic physiotherapy to improve comfort during intercourse and help manage heavy menstrual bleeding.
