If you have awful cramps that won’t go away, try taking a warm bath and soaking your tummy. It might help soothe away the pain. Tea and warm drinks might have a similar effect, and so will a heating pad. If you experience PMS, try taking some over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medicine to help relieve the symptoms of cramps. If your cramps are unbearable, talk to your doctor or gynecologist about other possible remedies like prescription medication or the help of birth control pills.
