Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX

It is common to have some discomfort and pain during menstrual periods, especially during first 2-3 days. It is a normal phenomenon and it is usually considered as an indication that you have ovulated during the previous menstrual cycle.

Mostly nothing is required if the pain is bearable.
Still if you think that a medicine would help, then you can take pain-killer like brufen 200 as required or 2 -3 times a day. In most cases this is the only measure that is required.

Let me know if you need further clarification

Regards

Dr Vaishalee
