There are several things you can do to help relieve this. Your lifestyle and diet can be an important factor. Try to take regular exercise – at least 30 mins minimum a day. Taking regular brisk walks and using the stairs are things that can help. Reduce your intake of sugars and caffeine. They are difficult for your body to handle. Try reducing your intake and replacing sugary snacks and caffeinated drinks with fresh fruits and water.

The pain can be difficult to tackle. It is not often that paracetamol will do the trick. After eating take two ibuprofen. Applying heat with a wheat bag, hot water bottle or muscle wrap can help soothe the pain. If you are still in a lot of pain you can take paracetamol alongside ibuprofen. Be careful not to exceed the recommended dose.

If pain is something you get consistently it will be worth speaking to your doctor. He may prescribe you Mefenamic Acid or recommend you try one of the available birth control pills or injections. There is no need to feel that you are thought to be promiscuous if offered this kind of treatment. A lot of women and girls use it to help control pain and severity of flow!
If the pain isn't helped by these methods it is perhaps worthwhile speaking to your GP about endometriosis. It is a lot more common among women than thought and often goes undiagnosed. The most important thing is not to suffer in silence. Be honest about the pain you are in and how you feel.

Put a hot water bottle on your tummy this helps the pain. Take regular exercise - 3o minutes. Take some medicine like paracetamol or ibuprofen which takes away the pain - works for me. Be careful not to over do it with the medicine. If pain does not stop see your doctor
Hope I helped

I agree with using heat packs these warm the muscles which helps to relax them thus ending up with lessened severity of cramping if  any at all. As to 'having sex' that is a silly idea during your menstrual cycle and also very messy I imagine plus I have never heard of a girl willing to do this anyway!! If you are in real pain and discomfort during your period its worth going to see your gp or a visit to the sexual health clinic as there are a number of different reasons this could be happening to you from Endometriosis to an infection. Please look after your  health ladies go and get checked over :D

Some women have found that having sex helps. Especially if they orgasm, it sends out hormones that help reduce the pain
