Women with menstrual cramps should not take painkillers. Women with menstrual cramps that are unbearable can take oral ibuprofen, or Yuanhu pain relief capsules for pain management. In case of menstrual pain, you can also drink more brown sugar and ginger water to help relieve the pain symptoms. When a woman has her period, her body’s immunity decreases and her pelvis becomes congested and edematous, which can cause abdominal pain under the action of prostaglandins, a common adverse reaction that will disappear naturally after the period is over. It is important for women to refrain from having sex during their periods and to pay attention to menstrual hygiene to avoid infection.
