First Things Are First
The best things to try for aiding painful menstruation problems first are hot baths and such. If a bath isn’t something someone wants to try then placing a hot water bottle on your lower back and your stomach can replace this method. However, it said that you shouldn’t use hot water bottles for longer than 15 - 20 minutes.
A Vitamin a Day
Adding a vitamin B complex supplement to your daily vitamin can help with menstrual problems. Evening Primrose Oil, taken as a supplement, is said to be very beneficial to those who endure menstrual pain, etc. as well.
Exercise
Exercising and or doing yoga greatly helps with the pain due to menstrual cramps. This is because when we exercise we are working our muscles. Just as moving around a lot is good for arthritis it is also good for painful menstruation.

Yes, strawberries. Drinking strawberry juice as well as eating a lot of strawberries is very good when it comes to attacking those horrible menstrual cramps.
