Women who take painkillers when they have menstrual cramps usually do not have particularly serious harm to their bodies, but some women who have stomach ulcers may take painkillers repeatedly and many times, which may not only aggravate the ulcer, but also cause local bleeding of the ulcer. So usually for women with gastric ulcers, it is recommended not to take painkillers repeatedly. For women without stomach disorders, taking painkillers occasionally is not particularly harmful. Women with severe menstrual cramps can indeed consider taking painkillers for symptomatic pain relief treatment and to eat a light diet during menstruation.
