HI, There is nothing wrong in using hot water bag for fomentation during periods. It helps to relieve the congestion in the blood vessels and thus reduce the pain.

Its dysmenorrhea ,low intensity pain is normal. 1) Do massage to back & lower abdomen with warm sesame oil or suitable oil for 15 min. Afterwards take hot fomentation for 10 min. 2) 1 spoon castor oil with milk at bed time 3) Do stretching exercise specially hip & lower back like ardhachakrasan.
