5 tips to ease Inner Thigh pain during Periods/ Mensuration
Cramps in inner thigh are not uncommon during periods/ menstruation in women. As working mums when you have to manage home and work commitments along with managing period pains it can be quite challenging, to say the least. For some women these period pains can also manifest as cramping pain in the inner thigh. In this blog lets look at why some women get inner thigh pain during their periods and 5 easy tips to manage them. 
 
During menstruation our body releases prostaglandins that are usually responsible for cramping in the uterus, usually felt as lower abdominal pain. Sometimes prostaglandins can cause spasm in the inner thigh muscles, which can be perceived as cramps in the area. 
 
Lets look at the five ways to ease this inner thigh pain:
Firstly you can use a hot pack, as it will help to ease the muscle spasm in the inner thigh. Hot packs do so by increasing the circulation and also washing away the metabolites and pain producing substances. If you do not have access to a hot pack, you can get in a hot shower with a focus on the inner thigh area. 
 
Secondly if you are a side sleeper try and keep your pelvis and your thighs in a neutral posture by keeping a little pillow in between your thighs. You can find more details of how to maintain a neutral posture while sleeping in this video:



Thirdly, you can use a pain relief gel or pain patch. Be mindful that this is a temporary fix and does not cure the basic problem. However, it takes the edge off the pain and lets you function through your day and attend to the important chores. 
 
Fourthly, you can try a gentle massage on the inner thigh. Be careful not to apply pressure that leads to pain as that beats the purpose of pain relief and this can anyways be a sensitive area due to the muscles spasm. You can use a pain relief gel or do a dry massage, whatever works for you. 
 
The fifth and final tip is to do gentle stretches for the inner thighs. An example of this is the butterfly pose in yoga. Be mindful to stretch within the painfree range. This means that if you stretch and feel pain you need to stretch a little less, so that you stop just before you get into the pain range.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
