Menses Pain Advice 

Abdominal pain during and prior to a menstrual cycle can vary according to different women, for some it would be very mild but for some it can be so severe that it can even interfere with daily chores. The medical term used for severe pain during menstruation is dysmenorrhea. Any abdominal pain or pain below the vagina that is too severe can be an indication of more serious problem like some hormonal imbalance, twisted ovary or twisted ovarian cyst, abnormal growths in or around the uterus like endometriosis, uterine fibroids or cervical polyps, or some pelvic infection. So it is very important to consult a specialist to know the exact cause as you are complaining of pain a week before you get your menstrual periods and during too. Without knowing the cause for pain it becomes difficult to suggest any options however to relieve your condition take plenty of rest and eat small meals but at frequent intervals. Apply warm compress near the abdomen or on the lower back where the pain is present. A mild form of exercise like a simple walk or meditation would also help to relieve the pain. Before taking any contraceptives or over the counter medications for controlling pain please consult a specialist to avoid any complications.
