Period or Menstrual Pain
For women, the menstrual cycle is the natural process that happens every month as the body prepares itself for pregnancy. During this time when the lining of the womb is being shed, it’s perfectly normal to experience some cramping pain in the lower abdomen. Occasionally, there may be some pain in the lower back and the top of your legs.

Tip: How to reduce menstrual pain
Applying a little bit of heat to the abdomen may help to relax cramped muscles and reduce menstrual pain.
-
Tip: Manage menstrual pain with exercise
Regular exercise releases feel-good hormones known as endorphins, which can help to manage menstrual pain.
-
Tip: Relieving menstrual pain
For period pain relief, try massaging the painful area of your abdomen with gentle, circular motions.
TIPS FOR MANAGING MENSTRUAL PAIN
Nine out of ten women experience menstrual pain and cramps around the time of their period. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to help ease menstrual pain.75,76
What is menstrual pain?
Menstrual pain and cramps are perfectly normal and are usually felt in the lower part of the abdomen, and occasionally in the lower back and at the top of your legs.16
The pain typically starts around the same time as menstrual bleeding or just before. It can last around a day, although some may suffer for a couple of days. For many women, the pain is tolerable, but sometimes the pain can be so severe that it stops them from going to school or to work.16
Here are a few tips to help relieve the pain:
Heat
Applying a little bit of heat to the abdomen can help ease menstrual pain. Try a heat patch or resting a hot water bottle on the abdomen.16,20
Exercise
There is some evidence to suggest that exercise may help to reduce menstrual pain.77
Massage
Some people use massage to ease their body aches and pains. Try massaging the painful area of the abdomen with gentle, circular motions.17
Easing pain with medication
For effective, temporary pain relief, try over-the-counter painkillers, including paracetamol such as Panadol®, NSAIDs or aspirin. These have been shown to help relieve menstrual pain. Research also shows that medicine containing 500mg paracetamol plus 65mg of caffeine is more effective than paracetamol alone.18,19
When to see a doctor
If you have any concerns about menstrual pain, seek your pharmacist or doctor for advice, especially if you experience any of the following:16,17,78
- severe pain
- abdominal pain even when it is not during your menstrual period
- an abnormal discharge from the vagina, especially if it is thick or smelly
- a fever and pelvic pain
