Menstrual/period pain is stomach/abdomen pain before and during a period. It is caused by contractions of the womb. Painkillers like panadol, exercise and taking warm water can help reduce period pain. Such pain should not last many days. If it does, it could be a serious condition so go to a clinic. Sex does NOT cure cramps. Sex during your period increases the risk of getting HIV/AIDS.
