Walking And Menstrual Cramps
Walking is effective in reducing menstrual pain because it improves blood circulation in the pelvic area. The WhatEver PocKit kit can also be used while walking.
Ice for Abdominal Pain and Menstrual Cramps:
Some women find a cold pack to be more effective than hot packs in relieving pain. Cold pack helps constrict blood vessels, which provides relief from the cramps.
