Natural Remedies For Menstrual Cramps

That time of month again for you women out there. Cannot stand it because of the pain? I sometimes wish that could stay pregnant forever just so I do not have to go through the pain of menstrual cramps. They are also known as dysmenorrhea. Many women go through cramps, back pain, the feeling of nausea, sweating, dizziness or other side affects during this time.

There are two different kinds of menstrual cramping. There is primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary occurs within the the first few years after you have gotten your period. This is not bad at all. Although there may be cramping and little pain. Now secondary is a lot worse off. This may be th signs of something more serious such as endometriosis, PID which is pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids or even uterine polyps. Below I am going to give you a list of natural remedies for menstrual cramps that you can try next time you get your cycle and it is driving you insane.
