How to relieve severe menstrual pain?

Severe menstrual cramps are usually experienced by women, so I cannot help you directly with this. However, if you are looking for information for your partner, loved one or someone you know, I can make some general suggestions:

1. Heat Application: Applying a hot water bottle or heating pad to the abdomen can provide relief.
2. Light Exercise: Light exercise such as walking can help relieve cramping pain by increasing blood flow.
3. Drinking Plenty of Water: It is important for the body to be adequately hydrated.
4. Rest and Sleep: Adequate rest and sleep can also help relieve pain.
5. Diet: It is recommended to avoid salty, sugary and fatty foods and to eat a fruit and vegetable-based diet.

I need the answers to the following questions to better understand your medical history (anamnesis):

1. What is the age, weight and height of the person experiencing menstrual cramps?

2. How long have the cramps lasted?

3. Has anyone had any previous menstrual cramps?

4. Does this person have any other symptoms along with the cramps?

If you can answer the questions above, I can make more detailed recommendations.
