constantgamer0421, I too suffered from horrific menstrual cycles from the very beginning. After 40 Years of ridiculous suggestions I finally got relief. I was getting an acupuncture treatment for chronic pain problem and the doctor and MD asked me if anything else was bothering me. I told him about the period Problem. he took he placed an acupuncture needle in the area where the ovaries were one on each side. After that & for the last 10 years of my menstrual cycle I had no problems whatsoever. Go figure.

Never liked the menstrual cycle but wasn't afraid of it even though I suffered from endemetriosis.

I always had odd periods. In my 2nd pregnancy, I was so big that my OB thought I was having twins. Nope, just our son, but I had 2 bags of water. it wasn't until I was going into menopause, that they did a different kind of ultrasound and found that I have 2uteruses

My Aunty menstrated only once a year, her doctors couldn't find anything wrong, until she got pregnant with her only child, not realising that she was expecting until months later! O_o

I went through extremely painful periods in my early teens. With my parents' permission, the doctor put me on the pill as studies were showing it was helping women with painful periods, irregular periods and/or heavy flows. It was a godsend!

with me it's like this... I fear my period cycdue to the period pains that I experience. Every month I go to the doctor or hospital due to the period pains.

constantgamer0421, are you OK? I mean after the hysterectomy I know you won't have menstrual symptoms but hysterectomy causes many other symptoms for which hormonal replacement is done which can cause breast ovarian cervical cancer

Used to have extreme menstrual pains and vomiting. Did not know of the medical term until later in my life. Also suffered from ignorant gossip and a misdiagnosed of PID. Later learned to manage the pain by taking painkillers a day or so before it was due. I am 59 now. Hope this helps someone.

It is really a conspiracy. Get your tubes tied if you don't want anymore children. I thought women who had terrible periods were lying until I had my tubes tied. I wanted to apologize to every woman I saw after that. If you don't want children they should remove the uterus, but since these procedures were invented by MEN, of course we must continue to bleed and be miserable.

RockNRollMama82, I too was told I was too young (I was 40) even though I suffered from really bad endometriosis. Finally, at 48, the month my dad died my period just stopped suddenly & I never had another one. I'm 61 now but still carry emergency pad just in case! Hahaha lol 🤣

SQinfoNUTS, I put up with horrible dysmenorrhoea all my life & found out in my 50s that I had fibroids..... then had menopause & no more pain & misery. Yay!

I hope the people in the comments who talk about excruciating period pain (or having had that pain until menopause) know that that isn't normal. Not normal: - Agonizing pain - Irregular periods well after you've had your first (for example, in your late-teens, your twenties, and onwards) - Heavy bloodflow Take it from someone who had all these and is now diagnosed with PCOS and through treatment now has a manageable and NORMAL regular period.

Player #9043571, I was 56 before my periods finished, got heavier in the last number of years. Menopausal flood, if that happens tell your doc, should be able to get help.

RockNRollMama82, As a man I’m no expert but I think we’re looking at fear of the pain that can be involved

KookyOrangutan5005, you were lucky to get one. I asked for one at age 44, but despite my history of ovarian cysts and endometriosis, and that I had never had children and "might want one", I was denied. Now I'm too fat and My current OBGYN will not perform one, even though in the last 5 years I've had 2 polyps removed from my uterus.
