seriously bad periods every month?

Question

ok so every period is hell for me. about 2 weeks before my period i get very very tired all the time and just feel ill all the time. i have crippling pains for the 1st two days of my period and am very heavy. the worst part though is that i get extremely emotional about everything and its really getting to me now and what to know if there is anything i can do. i go from being depressed to being overly happy to crying over everything good or bad and its such a pain and i just want it gone.

has anybody got any ideas???

thanks xoxox

Answer 1

Be a man. We get the best deal in life.

Answer 2

the same exact things happened to me....
i was an emotional roller coaster
i cried over every little thing
my periods were soooo heavy
i bleed for 8-10 days
my cramps were so bad the first few days i couldn't get out of the fetal position. if i did i wanted to die. sometimes I threw up. cuz they were so bad.
i was sooooo irregular. i would go 2 weeks to 3 months between periods.
i missed a lot of school from it too.

when i turned 18 i went to the doctor to go on birth control. it was the best choice i've ever made. my emotions are more controllable, i don't cry as much, my period only lasts around 5 days now, my cramps are finally tollerable, life is better, i get less zits, my periods are like clockwork (down to the day and almost the hour), and i'm protected from pregnancy. the only downfall to the pill is that i get these food cravings and can't stop eating no matter what. i've gained around 10 lbs. but i can live with that since my periods are so much better. my boyfried also likes the extra lbs. on me. so i guess the 10 lbs. weren't too bad. lol. if you aren't already on birth control i would advise you to get on it. even if you aren't having sex. if you're over 18 you can get it without your parent's permission. if you're under 18 you need parental permission. you can go to your regular doctor, an ob/gyn, or a health clinic to get on the pills (or some other form of birth control). the biggest downfall to the pills though is that if you're having sex and don't want to get pregnant you have to take the pills at the same time EVERY day. if you're not having sex then just take them around the same time and if you miss one it's not the end of the world. good luck and i hope everything gets better for you!

Answer 3

I suffered for years with period problems, and always ended up seeing a male doctor when I went to the surgery. Eventually I booked an appointment with a female doctor and life changed. I'd been suffering for many years from fibroids and ended up having a hysterectomy which changed my life for the better. I realise now that it's a waste of time consulting a male doctor about such things - how can he possibly understand the agonies and embarrassments us ladies go through. Make an appointment at your GP surgery to discuss the problems with a female doctor - you've nothing to lose.

Answer 4

Well dont feel bad sounds like me adding on with I have the most irregular cycle in history. Have you went to the gyn and tried the pill? That might eliminate some things. You can take motrin once a day a day or 2 b4 you period.. It works a little.. and of course heatring pads. Im not sure if anything can be done about your moods. I think that is a emotion thing. talk to your GYN though and see what they say

Answer 5

Poor you, there is no reason for you to go on suffering like that in this day and age. Go along and see your doctor, he/she can prescribe something to help with the pain and get you an appointment with a gynaecologist to see what is going on. You could have fibroids or a condition such as Endometriosis, i have this and used to be in agony. It could be any number of conditions but there are things that can be done to help you, dont go on suffering and make an appointment with your G.P x

Finally, Ive found the answer! Flaxseed! Two tablespoons in your food 3 times a week and it takes a couple of months to reap the full benefits but it works! I went from terrible periods like you describe, to 3 day periods, no pms and more regular! Its been a miracle cure for me.

Answer 7

It is definitely bocz of the high level of hormone in your body. It is normal to feel tired 2 weeks before your period, becoz every woman is different, and we will be affected differently. The pain on 1st two days is also normal, because those are the days when the 'blood wall' in your uterus is going to 'fall' and the heavy period means you have healthy 'blood wall'. that's fine. Emotional is always the problem of PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) and during menstrual time. So, drink more tea, and milk because calcium reduce the emotional feelings. Try to have warm bath, simple exercise, and RELAX. If you want better view, consult your doctor.......may god bless you

Answer 8

Try Feminax pain killers available over the counter at Pharmacies. If you still get pain I would go to your doctor. I did and after 8 years of complainig they finally did a laparoscopy and found I had endometriosis. For your mood swings try St John's Wort. Good luck :)

Answer 9

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/ydPX4
