Brief Answer:
Contraction of the uterus to expel the clots.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Noted your history of extreme pain in abdomen and waist during periods til the blood clots pass. There is swelling of abdomen during the pain period.

The cause is:
The cervix is not dilated. The uterus has to contract severely for removal of the clots that are formed during periods, hence the pain. Once the uterus is empty of the clots the pain automatically will stop as there is no contraction of the uterus.

Meftal spas works in 2 ways, the one component helps to reduce the pain and the other component helps to relax the uterus.
No, there are no side effects as you would be taking this medicine only during pains.

May I please know about your marital status and related history.
Please feel free to ask relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Brief Answer:
marriage- child bearing and birth. Till then medicines and as explained.

Detailed Answer:
There is only a natural way as an answer.
The females who get married and get the pregnancy and child birth get a permanent solution.
Till then medicines need to be taken.
I would suggest some additional remedies that help in many patients at least to have some relief and comfortable life during that period:
- Heating pad or warm water bottle on lower abdomen and low-back helps.
- Warm water bath/shower.
- Try different medicines. Try Paracetamol, Ibuprogen or voveran or Meftal spas and so on.
- Those girls who exercise regularly or practice yoga are known to have less pain.
- Rest helps much.
- Alternative medicines like Acupressure can help if you have someone to guide you in your city.

I hope this answers your query and helps you get a relief to certain extent.
Within months you will know what of the above therapies work the best for your and please continue practicing it.
