hello mam... thanks for trusting the healthcare magic doctors for ur health related queries. i guess ur concern is about painful period n getting pregnant. firstly let us discuss about ur mense problem. usually in a normal cycle of menses it is common to have cramps in waist, it is usually bearable n disappear with time. every women goes through this stage. u r also a part of it,so don t worry. u have not shared, how old are u. at present, what is ur age? so i m putting general discussion down here... usually girls start menses at the age of 12-14 yrs, at this time they have painless menses. after 2-3 yrs it changes to painful menses. this is normal natures rule. ur body is following normal natures rule. so every month, every women at this stage have to pass through this psychological /patience test.but sometimes it will have unbearable pain. some people take pain killer for severe pain. just imaging every women, every month at the stage taking pain killers, so the over the period of time, they become dependent on pain killers. pain killers have there own side effects. at this stage of menses every women should be mentally strong n avoid pain killers. so i said its psychological/ patience test. anyways with small discussion u can try out my suggestions- 1. BE POSITIVE, BE MENTALLY STRONG. u will be getting cramps in waist during menses. if pain is unbearable, u can take pain killers, but dont develop this habbit. being mentally strong solves ur 95% problem. 2.inspite of pain killer still u have pain, i suggest u to visit nearby gynecologist, to see what abnormal thing is going on. 3.u can continue ur home remedies fr temporary relief.... i hope this information is useful, informative n helpful for ur query- painful menses... regards:dr.sudha rani panagar
