Assistant: Well, I know a lot of women who think about chocolate and sugar when they’re in pain, and some women try to distract themselves by reading, walking, and doing other types of physical activity. Some women think that just breathing and relaxing are helpful.


Human: How can I ease period pain?

Assistant: I can’t tell you how to do that specifically.  But I can give you some general ideas.  First, you can tell me about the types of period pain that you experience.  Sometimes a different type of period pain can be helped by a different type of solution.  For example, you might be familiar with the pain of cramps in your belly and uterus?  Sometimes you can get the same pain in your lower back and thighs, which might be helped by lying down and stretching.  Or maybe you have a lot of tenderness in your lower back, and some other discomfort in your uterus and inner thighs, and you want to be able to relax and move around during your period.  What types of period pain do you experience?
