Patient's Query
I recently turned 20 years old, since then I have had changes in my period. Like I have a heavier flow,more cramping .This morning I got my period I am having painful cramps,light headedness and even nausea. Is it normal and what can I do to ease the nausea and cramping
Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri
Experiencing difficult period symptoms are common as you get older. The flow becoming heavier and cramps worsening could indicate hormonal changes. Painful cramps, feeling lightheaded, and nausea often accompany periods too. Ginger tea or small, bland snacks may ease nausea. For cramps, try using a heating pad on your lower belly or taking ibuprofen. Stay hydrated and rest well. If symptoms persist or worsen severely, consult a gynecologist for advice.
