True or false?
There's no instant solution for killer cramp pain, besides pills.
False. "Go get yourself a good old-fashioned hot water bottle. It's that simple! Cramps are caused by your uterus' muscles contracting to shed its lining at the start of menstruation. A hot water bottle on the abdomen increases circulation to the area, easing the cramping of the muscles, providing pain relief and soothing comfort. Throw away your heating pads. The electricity circulating in them can make cramps worse.
