For the ladies/men out there who knows the tricks, please feel free to spill! My girlfriend has been experiencing excruciating pain all this while.

I really want to help her

Thanks!

eat panadol..pink colour ones...

Oh forgotten to tell, she can't take medicine that has Paracetamol or Aspirin.

She can only take this medicine called Tramadol which doesn't work these days.

She takes her medication of Primrose oil everyday.

take EPO daily..
take some chinese bak fung yin or ba chen every mth a few days aft d menstrual cycle..

sensei medicine?

Hot water bag....place it on the tummy...it will help to ease the pain.
Dont take cold or icey drinks.

And just breathe....this is for u not ur gf....u sound like ur goin to faint.

drink more warm water.. avoid drink ice water

think girls cant eat curry during that time also. am i wrong?

pic or gtfo go buy bak fong yun lo better ..

yea... ba chen works good too.. onli thing need to boil lor..
bak fung yin easier to consume....

For one or two days a month, my ex coursemate used to lie down on bed, cannot attend lecture or anything because very painful. Taking ginger drink helps. Chinese medicine to balance the elements also ok.

Also have to avoid some food:

i dunno if this work for your gf but after i take fish oil tablets daily, i dun have menstrual pain anymore.

the reason i started to take fish oil was not for the menstrual pain. anyway, it is good to have that "side-effect". haha

panadold ACtive ~ it works

taking panadol or any form or pain killer doesnt help in a long run. sooner or later ur body is going to get immune to it....
natural remedy is always the best choice.

EPO doesn't work for me.

Only panadol menstrual works - but have to eat 2. Not at the same time but if i still feel uneasy after 1 hour, i'll pop another one.

Aih, I'm not into chinese herbs as it's some sort of 'natural steroid'. It's too strong and i don't want my body to depend on it.

I think first of all, try to rule out endometriosis and fibroids. They are VERY common and cause a lot of pain, especially endometriosis. Then try supplements like EPO. Lastly painkiller, if she is allergic to Panadols and Aspirin, there's not much more she can try, just make sure she is really allergic to both medicine. Another one that might help is Buscopan, it acts like muscle relaxant, and can really really reduce abdominal cramps and menstrual pain.

She may try oral contraceptive pills which may reduce pain.

By the way, after the first baby, the pain will pain no more!

this is not related to menstrual pain but erm my uncle got his stomach removed, bcoz the ulser is too big. the doctor suspect it is due to excessive panadol he was taking. he was like whenever he have something uncomfortable, he will pop 2 panadol. so i try to avoid eating panadol if i still can tahan.

Panadols will not cause stomach ulcer, but too many eg more than 8 will cause liver damage. It's the other pain killers, eg Ponstan, Voltaren that will cause stomach ulcer. Other medicine include steriod used in traditional medicine.
