How do you deal with dysmenorrhea?

I think this is a worldwide problem.
It was a bad day. I'm having dysmenorrhea. I think a lot of people know that pain. How do you relieve pain during your period?
I usually distract myself by doing something else. Like today I went to see the snow. It's snowing in Seattle. Sometimes I drink some black sugar and ginger tea, although this tea does not alleviate menstrual cramps, but IT makes me feel warm and comfortable. This tea is very sweet and delicious. Sometimes I take painkillers.

Hi, I had a problem like yours few years ago and the painkillers works but not every times, mi doctor recomend me contraceptives and this was the solution, but this is in mi case, you have to take into account the side effects that can occur, best consult a doctor.
