Pelvic Pain and Periods: How CBD and THC May Reduce Discomfort

Pelvic pain during periods can range from mild cramps to severe, life-interrupting discomfort. While heat, rest, and traditional painkillers help some, many women are turning to CBD and THC for natural support.

What Causes Pelvic Pain During Periods?

  • Prostaglandins: Hormone-like chemicals that trigger uterine contractions and pain.
  • Endometriosis or fibroids: Conditions that often cause significant pelvic pain.
  • Muscle tension: Stress and pelvic floor tightness can make cramps worse.

How CBD and THC May Reduce Period Discomfort

  • CBD: May help reduce inflammation and support a calmer nervous system.
  • THC: May ease severe cramps and improve rest during painful cycles.
  • Combination approach: Many women use CBD for daily support and THC for breakthrough pain.

Best Practices for Use

  • Start with low doses and gradually adjust with medical supervision.
  • Apply topical CBD balms to the lower abdomen or back for local relief.
  • Use oral oils or capsules for systemic effects across the body.

Lifestyle Tips to Enhance Relief

  • Apply heat pads to the abdomen or back during cramping.
  • Stay active with light exercise like stretching or yoga.
  • Maintain a diet rich in magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids.
