Exercising - best remedy for period pains

"You may not feel like it, but getting active is a good way to ease pain. Try gentle swimming, walking or cycling,"writes Dr Trisha Mcnaire in her blog. More than 50 percent of all women who are in their menstrual age are said to have experienced period pains in their lives. About 70 percent of women get period pains during their menstrual period with 15 percent of them reporting severe pains, observed Dr Trisha.
The scientific name for period pains is dysmenorrhea.

Dr Razi says though pills like Ibruffen and paracetamol have been found to relieve the pain, exercising should be the prime alternative. She described period pains as the pain under the abdominal pains that comes before, during and after menstrual period. The pain intensity differs from one person to another depending on the level of flow. Several underlying medical conditions are also capable of causing menstrual cramps.
