During, before or after your menstrual cycle a female may feel cramps due to the inner lining being shed in the uterus. To relieve the symptoms at home you can take pain relievers, exercise regularly, meditate or do yoga, sleep at least eight hours a night, vitamin b supplement to reduce pain or take a warm bath. Some women believe that the use of contraception can also help to make period shorter and smaller.

The actual cramps are thought to be caused by prostaglandins, which are tissues in the lining of the caused that contract during the shedding of the lining in the uterus during the menstrual period.
