About Period Pain Treatment

Period pain, also known as dysmenorrhoea, is one of the most common gynaecological complaints — affecting up to 9 in 10 women at some point in their lives. While mild cramping is a normal part of menstruation, for many women, period pain can be severe, prolonged, and disruptive to daily life.

Period pain is caused by natural chemicals called prostaglandins, which help the womb contract to shed its lining. In some women, prostaglandin levels are higher — leading to more intense and painful cramps. Pain usually starts 1–2 days before bleeding begins and may last for several days.

Symptoms of period pain may include:

  • Cramping or aching in the lower abdomen or pelvis
  • Pain that may radiate to the lower back or thighs
  • Nausea, headaches, or bowel changes
  • Fatigue or feeling generally unwell

There are two types of period pain:

  • Primary dysmenorrhoea – common menstrual cramps with no underlying condition
  • Secondary dysmenorrhoea – pain caused by an underlying issue like endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

If regular over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen are not effective, you may benefit from prescription treatment that targets prostaglandin production more effectively or addresses hormonal imbalance.

At EveryDayMeds, we offer clinically reviewed, pharmacy-strength period pain treatments to help you take control of your cycle and improve your quality of life — all through a discreet, fast online service with no need to visit a GP.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this clinic

What causes period pain?

Period pain is caused by uterine contractions triggered by prostaglandins. Higher levels lead to stronger cramps. Severe pain may be linked to conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.

What are the symptoms of period pain?

Symptoms include lower belly cramps, back or thigh pain, nausea, diarrhoea, and fatigue. They usually start 1–2 days before your period and last a few days.

How is period pain treated?

Mild pain can be managed with ibuprofen, but stronger NSAIDs, hormonal treatments, or antispasmodics may be needed for more severe symptoms.

When should I see a doctor about period pain?

See a doctor if your pain is severe, worsening, or comes with heavy bleeding, pain during sex, or starts suddenly after age 25.

Can hormonal contraception help with period pain?

Yes, it reduces pain by stopping ovulation and thinning the womb lining. Pills, patches, IUDs, or injections may all help.

Can lifestyle changes help reduce period pain?

Exercise, heat packs, stress reduction, and dietary changes may ease cramps. Some women also benefit from magnesium or omega-3 supplements.
