I have the same problem I, Ihave three small fibroids on my uterus, what I find that has helped with the pain an anemia, was that I would start taking motirn 800mg every 8 hours around the clock one week before my period starts this will decrease the inflammation in the uterus. A heating pad applied to the tummy works incojuction with the motrin. I take one a day vitamins for women which helps with the low iron, since regular iron pills can make you consipated. Menstrual cramps can cause tension and anxiety which in turn make the pain worse. Exercise and relaxation are able to break this cycle. Exercise will also increase the blood flow to all areas of the body including the uterus.
The following exercises will be useful as they direct the blood flow to the pelvic region. Use them, particularly, when you are in pain.
Lie flat on your back, bring your knees up to your chest and clasp them with your arms. Maintain this position for a few minutes. You can leave one leg on the floor and bring the other leg up if that is more comfortable. (MY FAVORITE, I Sleep like this sometimes when the pain ts too unbearable, I makes a world of difference.)
Kneel down and stretch your head and arms out along the floor in front of you with your head between your arms and your elbows and forehead on the floor. Stay there for a few minutes.
Lie on your back with your legs in the air and rest for a few minutes. You can rest your legs against a wall if this is more comfortable.
