(Hot water bottles for cramps.
The usual painkillers can be used (paracetamol/ibuprofen) or there are some specific products that some people get on prescription - mefanamic acid. Some people find the muscle relaxant Buscopan helpful.
Are you on any form of hormonal contraception? They can lessen (or even stop) periods, and help with the pain. You can even take multiple packs in a row and have fewer periods per year.
Have you tried period sex? That is completely natural and can really help with period cramps. Not some people's cup of tea - but give it a go. Similarly, some gentle exercise or even something that acts as a distraction.

(Like @black tea suggested hot water bottles can be helpful (also electric blankets). In my experience, they can help, but it depends on how bad it is
If painkillers aren't doing anything your GP might be useful to visit to discuss alternatives like birth control or alternatives to painkillers or different types of medicine to help. Someone below mentioned mefamenic acid which can be helpful (been prescribed it myself and it did help).Quick Reply
