Brief Answer:
Antispasmodic and hot compress will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The condition you are describing is called dysmenorrhoea.

It is seen commonly in most women. If there are no disturbances in your periods or if you have no other associated symptoms such as vaginal discharge, fever, difficulties while passing urine and so on, there is no reason to worry.

As far as treating pain is concerned, I would suggest you to consult a gynecologist for physical examination. Following evaluation, he/she can prescribe you antispasmodic drug which can prevent pain. Endometriosis also needs to be ruled out after an ultrasound scan.

In the mean time, home measures such as hot compresses over the lower abdomen and massages can help. Over the counter analgesics such as ibuprofen can be useful on some occasions. You can also use an over the counter antispasmodic for pain relief.

Be assured it is not a serious problem and will be redressed by assurance and proper treatment.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
