Talk to your doctor about the hormonal intrauterine device, or IUD. This is another form of contraception, and the hormonal IUD significantly reduces the pain associated with menstrual cramping.

Try these other basics before you give up. They may not seem like much, but they are definitely doctor-recommended:
Lie down, raise your feet, and try to rest for at least 20 minute. Rest is a natural painkiller.
Gently stretch. Try the sphinx pose in yoga for a targeted stretch.
Stay away from cigarettes and alcohol. Aside being bad for you for different reasons, these may make your period particularly horrid.
Massage your lower back or abdomen. Or better yet, have someone else do it for you!

If all else fails, visit a doctor. If your period is making you feel like you want to roll up in a ball and forget the world, definitely see a doctor. On many occasions, patients with dysmenorrhea, or severe cramping, consult a doctor and find that they have another condition that is making the pain worse. Often, this condition is called endometriosis, where the lining of the uterus is actually found outside the uterus. If you are uncertain of why your period hurts so much, and can’t seem to find an answer to persistent pain, definitely see a doctor.
