Dear sisters,is it normal to undergo pain during periods or all of u except me are very normal during periods?

Answer 1

Some pain is normal, but not the kind of pain that makes you unable to carry out your daily activities.

Try these things to help relieve your pain during that time of the month:
1. Put a heating pad wherever it hurts.

2. Drink PLENTY of water.

3. Get some exercise; anything will help, but Yoga is really good because it forces you to breathe deeply, thus creating more oxygen flow in your body.

4. Don't let yourself get cold. This increases cramping.

5. Try drinking ginger tea to reieve some of the pain and bloating.

6. Decrease your salt intake during this time.

7. Eat 1 oz. of dark chocolate daily.......it not only releases endorphines that make you happy, it also contains flavanoids and antioxidants which boost your immune system.

8. If you continue to have very painful or abnormal periods, go see your doctor. She can give you birth control pills or the patch, which will help some. Using the patch has enabled me to stay out of bed during that time of the month, and has shortened my bleeding days from 14 down to 6!

9. Take midol.....follow the directions on the package. It helps relieve period pains.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I think some of us are just granted horrible periods. Every one's period is different. Take me for example. I used to get my period about 6 times a year, without even ever being on birth control. The pain I endured was awful. I got headaches, nausea, horrible cramps, and it hurt to use the restroom. I would typically get my period in the morning and deal with the above said in just one day, so I usually just locked myself in my room until later that day.


Since then, my period has gone into a somewhat normal state. I get it 12 times a year, and although still painful, I can now get through my day with cramps. But I did walk away with a few tips about how to deal with the pains of my period:

1) I go back to sleep the minute I've realized my period started.
2) I'd use a heating pad. I DON'T recommend those "anywhere, thermacare" heating pads that you just stick to your underwear--they gave me a fever while I was at work! Invest in one with a cord, you can change the temp.
3) Drink wine. No, I'm not a whino, but it's always taken the pain away.
4)Eat noodle soup. Again, the heat helps.
5) By far my best secret weapon: Lay down in the shower!
I don't mean crawl in your shub and take a bath. Yes, the heat is nice, but I turn my shower on real hot, lay down in the shower, and make sure the water is directed right on top of my belly. This way, I'm getting the heat from the hot water that helps, plus, the water pressure makes it feel as though I'm getting some kind of tummy massage, and it works like a charm.

Now, I'm not a big fan of the medicine thing just because I have to eat first or else I get nausous. But if it works for you, go for that as well. I'm also lucky though because at my job, its a children's gymnastic's facility, so i'll usually hang upside down on the unever bars that helps with the pain as well

.I hope this is all helpful. I think if you just find your own bag of tricks, then you;'ll be able to control your period no matter what.

You may have heard of something called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. PMS is a collection of symptoms that some women get around the time of their periods. PMS can include headaches, back pain, irritability or moodiness, feeling sad or emotional, bloating, and breast tenderness.
Bearable PMS are ok.Some women don't have any of these symptoms, while others have all of them and perhaps a few more. There are some over the counter medications that help lessen PMS symptoms (check with a parent or your school nurse). Cutting back on salty foods and caffeine may also help. If you find that they interfere too much with your daily life, ask your doctor about other things you can do to feel better around your period.

Answer 4

Oh yes, it's normal, unfortunately. The only time you should be concerned and see your OB is when it's debilitating and keeping you from performing any normal activity of daily living. My periods were fairly normal as a teen. I did experience bad cramping from time to time and my periods used to be very heavy,lasting 7 days, so my OB put me on birth control at 18 to control the volume and the number of days. Thankfully the # went to 5 days and my pad and tampon use was cut in half!
I'm 32 now with 2 great kids and am going to go back to a slightly higher hormone level in my pills. The pills I'm currently on are the lowest level hormone pill you can have, with iron, but I'm spotting or my period is starting early because I forgot to take just one pill!! Anyway, what we go through as women, huh!

Answer 5

Well pain during the period can be classified into primary and secondary. Primary is due to normal physiologic changes and it is normal to have it. Common age group for this is 15 - 25 yrs. Treatment - use advil or aspirin Secondary - pain is due to a disease or problem, this pain does not come alone, it is usually associate with some other problems. Treatment - see a doctor

I was always normal during periods except for mild low back pain. No cramps. I think most girls do have at least some cramps.

Answer 9

I had excruciating pain every cycle and sometimes so bad that I blacked out..had an operation for it at 17..which made it ten times worse...got rid of it only by age 26 after having my sons and getting a historectomy...doctors still don't know what was the problem..only one doctor honestly said:"approximately 5% of women have it so badand we haven't yet found the answer why!"

Answer 10

i had menstrusal pain all my life. the pain was so severe that i almost collapsed. i took pain suppository, pain medicines, hot bath, hot compress , did yoga, homeopathy medicine, irons, and what not. but the pain continued for hours and even for a day.it was like child birth pain. it used to come every 15 minutes and grew stronger. the doctors said that it was due to blood clotting. when you have blood clots , it is difficult to pass through the ovarin tubes and thus the pain occured. my only prescription was to get married and have kids. so for 17 years , every month i went through this hell. now as i am a mother of two, my tubes are big and i have no cramps at all.you are not alone. go to a gyne and get tested. if your condition is like mine then you know what to do.
