Any tips to reduce period cramps? Like certain food or something?
Jan 19, 2013

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) are very common and can be easily treated. Certain types of food might affect PMS syndrome but will not do much for the pain.
They can be treated with analgesic medications or sometimes with oral contraceptive pills.
However it is always important to consult your gynecologist to make sure there are no underlying conditions like endometriosis.
