Period Pain & Cycle

Cramping is the womb contracting, and it is genuinely painful rather than something to push through. Heavy periods are also the commonest reason for low iron in women.

What actually helps
  • Anti-inflammatories started before the pain peaks, not after.
  • Heat, which works as well as it sounds.
  • Magnesium through the second half of the cycle, for some people.
  • Checking iron if periods are heavy — this is where anaemia starts.
