Over half of women who menstruate experience period pain for one to two days every month. And even though period pain can mean headaches or general discomfort, the pain is typically caused by menstrual cramps.Menstrual cramps happen when your uterus contracts to shed its lining, also known as the uterine lining. This can cause pain in your stomach.
Cramps affect many people before and during their period. While some people only experience mild cramps, others aren’t quite as lucky. In some cases, the pain from period cramps can be extreme and make a serious dent in your daily life.

Period can affect your daily life and women bleeds for years therefore it is not possible to get a backt on your period but you can give back sit to your period pain by following these small steps.
Massage your tummy with essential oils:Research suggests that some essential oils can help ease period cramps when massaged onto the abdomen, especially when used in a blend of oils.Oils that seem to be most effective at reducing period cramps include lavender and rose.
Drink more water: Bloating can cause discomfort and make menstrual cramps worse. Drinking water can reduce bloating during your period and alleviate some of the pain it causes. Also, drinking hot water can increase blood flow throughout your body and relax your muscles. This can lessen cramps caused by uterine contractions.
Exercise: If you’re in pain, exercise might be the last thing on your mind. But even gentle exercise releases endorphins that make you feel happy, reduce pain and relax your muscles. Fifteen minutes of yoga, light stretching or walking might be all you need to feel better.
Manage your stress: Stress may make cramps worse. Use stress relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, yoga or your own favorite way to relieve stress. If you’re not sure how to relieve stress, try guided imagery. Simply close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine a calm, safe place that’s significant to you
Try alternative medicine: Some people find relief with alternative medicine practices like acupuncture and acupressure. Acupuncture is a practice that stimulates the body by placing needles in the skin. Acupressure stimulates the body without needles by putting pressure on certain points of the body. 
Take Ginger: A  study suggests that oral ginger may help reduce menstrual pain.There is not enough evidence to prove that any of these remedies work, but they are unlikely to be harmful if a person uses them under supervision.
Heating Pad: “The uterus is a muscle, so anything that helps relax muscles, like applying heat, can be beneficial, Thielen says.Indeed, research published in Evidence-Based Nursing found that topically applied heat was just as effective as ibuprofen for period cramps. 
Yoga:One study suggests that, like aerobic exercise, yoga may also be helpful for reducing period cramps.If you’d like to try yoga, look for a class with both a physical component and a relaxation component. Research suggests this combination is most effective at reducing pain from period cramps.
