PAINFUL
13/f
i haven't gotten my period yet but i have been getting vaginal discharge for about a year now. the thing is sometimes my stomach (down near my bladder) hurts so much it makes me cry. i have tried nurofen, panadol, ibuprofen,and normal paracetamol. these help a bit but the cramps still hurt. i don't want to be stuffing myself with pain killers all the time. are there any herbal teas or food, even massages that i can do myself which would help?
any help would be appreciated
thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I put a heating pad right where my cramps are. And i know that when you have cramps that you dont really want to do anything but exercising really helps. When you exercise it releases these things called endorphins and they are a natural pain reliever and it really helps. Hope i helped =]

If you haven't got your period and these cramps are a regular occurance, it might be worth seeing your GP. There are lots of minor infections (that can strike anyone, anytime) that can cause symptoms similar to what you are describing. With any luck, a course of antibiotics might stop the pain!
If the GP gives you a clean bill of health and says these might be related to your period, then there are a few home remedies that might help. A hot water bottle on your tummy, a warm bath, or a gentle walk have been known to help people. But keep in mind these will NOT help with any infection or medical problem.
It really is best to just get checked out, as many minor things can end up hurting more and lasting longer when they aren't treated.
All the best!

When I have cramps, I always take a hot bath and just soak in it for 30 minutes to an hour. Then I'll do some sort of excercise that involves my stomach, like laying on your back and lifting your legs off the ground. After that, try putting a heating pad on your lower abdomen.
The only herbal tea that I know of that helps is ginger root tea. I've never drank it because I don't like tea. But my grandmother says it works wonders.
Hope this helps!
