Take anti-inflammatory tablets like ibuprofen regularly. Stronger painkillers like codeine are pretty good as well. If you have really bad period pains, see your doctor, who can put you on mefenamic acid which is very effective in reducing both pain and bleeding. You could also consider going on the contraceptive pill, which tends to make periods lighter and less painful. \n\nOther, less chemical suggestions, would be to try to do some gentle exercise - I know it's the last thing you feel like doing, but it really does help. Heat pads, hot water bottles etc can be helpful as well, as can a hot bath. \n\nOne last suggestion........I've heard ;) that masturbating can really help with period pains!

No- there is no way to make it come faster.  If you are on birth control, you can skip the placebos so your period is delayed, or ask your doctor for norithisterone to skip your period but that has to be taken up to 4 days before your period is supposed to start.

You don't say how old you are and that might affect how your periods are.\n\nOne thing that helps with cramps is to give up caffiene.  No coffee, tea, caffienated sodas and you might have a much easier time.\n\nThere are over the counter meds that work well--Pamprin works pretty well--and your doctor can prescribe stronger medications.  In some cases, birth control pills are prescribed to manage menstrual pain.\n\nOther things you can do?  Use a heating pad (or one of those heating bandages that are out now), gentle exercise such as stretching or walking, and if you're of age a shot of brandy or some other liquor works pretty well.\n\nGood luck.  (You have my sympathies)

You should look into getting on Seasonale.  It's the only extended-cycle pill.  It lets you have a period every three months instead of once a month.

It is an old wife`s tale. You should be able to lift most anything that you could while not on period.. \n\nThe reason you have a period is that your body gets ready for the egg to implant and makes the lining of your uterus soft and mushly like. When you don`t become pregnant it sloughs all that off and starts all over for the next cycle. Thus the cramps and bleeding. I don`t see how lifting anything would cause a problem. You could always ask your doctor or call a nurse.. Good luck and God bless {:-)\n\n<><

SEE A DOCTOR.\n\nUnder any circumstance, a doctor can walk you through whats going on and advise you how to take care of your body.\n\nPregnant:  You should know ASAP, so you can learn how to take care of your body. . . A doctor is one person who is there to help you.  You need to be looking after taking care of this baby.  RESPECT LIFE.\n\nNot-Pregnant:  Are you athletic/too skinny?  Overly athletic women can skip their periods.  A doctor will still be able to educate you on how to deal with your body and the changes that are making you skip your period.  \n\nI distrust doctors too, and if you're young you may be worried about how to get mom & dad to take you to the doctor, but these are little challenges that you are capable of taking care of.\n\nBest wishes

I assume you mean you have a period often and you don't like it? If you are on a normal 28 day cycle then don't worry about it. The problem with taking a drug to "fix" our natural experiences is that there are short and long term side effects that may be worse than the original experience. The first step to improving your period is to eat a clean diet (fresh fruits and vegetables) and find an exercise program that you enjoy (maybe Yoga or Tai Chi). This won't solve every problem but you will be healthier and feel better during your cycle.

all women experience different effects during their period. try to eat healthy, especially right before you're about to start and exercise. you can also buy pms med to help prevent the pains.

Yes you can. You can do what every you what to do on your period,but what I would do is where a tampon and a pad and take some Tylenol or what every you take so that you will fill oak when you are working out. Good lock

you need to talk to your Dr. about this!  Maybe its as simple as being put on birth control (which help a lot of people with painful cramps) but it could be something else-- who knows??\n\nAlso exercise is supposed to help- try to do a 30minute walk every day you have them- or even if you know when you will get your period (if you are regular) start the day BEFORE you get it\n\nbut definately ask your Dr.\n\nMine get pretty bad on the first day- I take 3 200mg advil and buy those sticky heat pads- and that usually really helps, but I guess everyone is different

Or you could go to a Chiropractor.  They are known for helping women get through their cycle with minimal amounts of pain, bloating, etc.  No meds and you allow your body to do what it has to do to stay healthy.\n\nHaving a period is like a tree that loses it leaves in the fall.  The leaves come back eventually.  Nature deems it necessary.  Trees don't say to other trees, how do keep my leaves all winter long?  Nature deems you have a period once a month, you should get it once a month.  \n\nNot to say it doesn't hurt, but don't eliminate it.  There is plenty you can do to make it easier on you without taking meds or screwing with your physiology.  When you start screwing with your physiology worse things will happen than having a period once a month.\n\nAgain, see a Chiropractor, email me and i'll help you find a good one.  I known good Chiros all over the world, I am one.

My suggestion is the same as the others. The only thing I want to add is if you think you could be pregnant, take a test. And schedule an appointment asap so you can get on a birth control pill to help you regulate your cycle.

there are many factors as to why your period isn't consistant.stress, diet, health are all factors. you should see your family doctor. she/he may want to put you on birth control just to bring it back to 25 or 28 cycle.
