Hi I am 17 and have a condition of PCOS and I’m on my 7 day break and suffering from painful cramps I was wondering if there is any remedies for the painful cramps?

Have you tried over the counter painkillers like tylenol or ibuprofen?

Yes I have tried both and am still feeling painful cramps

Are you on birth control?

Yes due to my condition I need to take them to have regular periods

You could possibly talk to your doctor about continuous use of the pill to stop your break weeks all together as it’s not medically necessary for you to get a period

If you are on birth control and still having really bad period cramps then you should either not take breaks or switch to a different type of pill, birth control is supposed to help bad period cramps.

For immediate relief I also heard the heating packs/hot water bottles can help
