Kindly Share This Story: By Sola Ogundipe A team led by scientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have identified nine potential new COVID-19 treatments, including three that are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating other diseases.

Why do period pains happen? Sexual wellness educator Andrea Tan explains, “During the period, the uterus contracts spasmodically to expel the mucous membrane that was formed for a possible pregnancy. This alone can cause pain. The contractions of the uterus are also controlled by the hormone prostaglandins. This hormone is a pain messenger and is also involved in inflammation, for example. The higher the prostaglandin level in a person’s body, the stronger the period pain can be.” If you’re looking for ways to ease your cramps (apart from popping pills), we’ve got a handy round-up below that could aid in offering some relief.
