I have a lot of problems with period cramps myself! Since most tablets don't suit me I prefer Homeopathy and there is a tablet that is made specifically for period cramps called "Dysmin" by SBL. It works wonders in times of need. If you don't prefer medicines then you can always try hot water bags on the areas that are hurting!

Hot water bags are the best always!

First day usually I need to take pill. I tried home remedies as well but didn't work for me. So these day I started having this pill Meftal-Spas that helps to provide symptomatic relief from pain and cramps. I hope it will help you.

Lose fats around the belly . Do regular yoga and stretching.
