Okay so I know everyone or mostly everyone has experienced menstrual cramps. But I believe something may be wrong, I get extremely weak and my cramps are like basically I'd rather fall down some steps then feel these cramps. My doctor prescribed me naproxen's which didnt work. I've tried birthcontrol, anything you name it. My doctor even scheduled me for a ultrasound to check for fibroids and nothing was there.
I want to know if it is possible to take the pill to regulate my cycle, as well as to lessen the cramps and the bleeding. I have had two periods since I had my son the first one was short and sweet but the second one was awful. I had to change every hour. I have never had cramps or extremely heavy bleeding but now I have both. I don't even get any relief pain wise until I take four pills. I don't want to get into to much detail but its bad.
I am still young (young enough to the point where my mom still controls my medicine). I have extremely painful periods. I cry, throw up, and usually miss a whole day of classes due to cramps. I've seen a doctor and they suggested birth control but my family tries to stick to the catholic faith with that topic. My mom was put on birth control not long after that due to an extremely heavy flow.
Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for the painful cramps that may occur immediately before or during the menstrual period. There are two types of dysmenorrhea: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.
Primary dysmenorrhea is another name for common menstrual cramps. Cramps usually begin one to two years after a woman starts getting her period. Pain usually is felt in the lower abdomen or back. They can be mild to severe.
If you do have hormonal imbalances the pill can help but it can also make it worse, depending on the individual. There are natural ways to try to tackle it, assuming that's the problem. I don't know why movement would make it worse, though, and we're not medical experts here though Gym has given you a lot to consider. Once you get a diagnosis, someone might help you better here.
I have the same kind of symptoms -- headaches, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea and yes -- pain, pain, pain for quite a few days, the first and second days are the hardest. I am 24 and after years of suffering, I was on the pill as well and pain killers? pssh, they don't do a thing. I finally went to my doctor about it and he sent me to get a pelvic ultra sound and they found a fibroid. They told me that is why I had so much pain and other issues.
I was given Naproxen Sod, 550mg which is the generic for Anaprox DS. Not sure on exactly the names, just putting whats on the bottle. I take it at the first sign of the cramps even beginning and it still doesn't do much. I still get doubled over and am in severe pain. I do exercise regularly, drink milk, use heat pads, take extra vitamins. But I'm miserable. Every month I go through this "hell" as I call it.
It sounds like you do have endo, and i would switch doctors and find one that will do a lap to varify if you do. I too had painful ovulation and the pill helped with having no pains because i dont get periods anymore but i am still ovulating on the pill (which i heard can happen) and I am still having the same pains.
I've heard that having menstrual like cramps during pregnancy is normal. Mine are not that painful, and are not constant. Is anyone else experiencing cramps or have had them in pregnancy? I seem to worry about every little thing or symptom.
m very good about taking the pill on time and I even take the sugar pills which is supposed to be the time when you have your period. I have probably missed a pill or two during the years I've been taking it but again I have never had any problems. I am sexually active and my partner and I sometimes have unprotected sex. I worry that sometimes I may be pregnant because my periods will be light sometimes and heavy with clots other times.
t had these those kind of painful cramps since before I started the bc pill when I was 16 and Im 29 now. Hope someone can help. By the way, In the past I have tried every migraine medicine and nothing ever worked except topamax but ended up making my hands and feet numb, so i had to get off of it. k, hurting too bad right now, my head and neck are killing me, my face is also flushed and red. Going to put ice packs on my head and face.
May 22nd i had the urge to pee ALL the time, i didnt actually know if i had to go half the time and when i did VERY little came out. my cramps were just alittle bit more painful and annoying over all.
May23rd the pain was getting to the point where i decided to see my doctor, she urged me to do a UTI and that i may not be pregnant.
May 24th my doctor wasnt in for the results and my cramps were at its worst.
