Or you could go to a Chiropractor.  They are known for helping women get through their cycle with minimal amounts of pain, bloating, etc.  No meds and you allow your body to do what it has to do to stay healthy.\n\nHaving a period is like a tree that loses it leaves in the fall.  The leaves come back eventually.  Nature deems it necessary.  Trees don't say to other trees, how do keep my leaves all winter long?  Nature deems you have a period once a month, you should get it once a month.  \n\nNot to say it doesn't hurt, but don't eliminate it.  There is plenty you can do to make it easier on you without taking meds or screwing with your physiology.  When you start screwing with your physiology worse things will happen than having a period once a month.\n\nAgain, see a Chiropractor, email me and i'll help you find a good one.  I known good Chiros all over the world, I am one.

The period itself doesn't really have any feeling, but discomfort does usually accompany it. Usually you'll get cramps, bloating, and maybe some back or head pain. Just take a pain reliever such as Advil or Tylenol.

From my own experience and a couple friends' experiences, it does hurt quite a bit (imagine your worst menstrual cramps tripled), but the pain only lasts a couple days. The first period or two afterwards can also be pretty bad. My friends and I found that all we needed for the pain was a higher dosage of ibuprofen (600-800 mg instead of the usual 200 mg dose we'd take for cramps). Other painkillers like Vicodin and Lortab might also do the trick, but I'd be surprised if you needed anything that serious.

Everybody's body is different.\n\nI went to the doctor's recently regarding period issues (I get mine more often than others) and she said that every lady is different.\n\nShe also said that stress can affect it.

no they don't. but sometimes when close to my period they just might.. if you hurt a lot it might have nothing to do with sex. call your doctor and ask your partner to be more careful

My mother, sister, and grandmother all have something called endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition, usually resulting in pain and dysmenorrhea, that is characterized by the abnormal occurrence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterus.\n\nIt's not a pleasent thing, and can make periods a lot worse. if your wife is only getting bad paid during her menstrual period then I'd doubt she'd have that... But it actually isn't unusual for women to have bad paid. not all women do have it, but it is common. they can have it sometimes too. they don't nessisarily have it all the time, it's just a joy of being a woman!\n\nIt might be a good idea to talk to a doctor though. just to check if you are that worried about it. even if they don't find something wrong with her, they can proscribe good pain killers and things like that.

I have a friend who has the same problem but she gets it everytime she has her period. The only thing i can think of is to get on birth control. They will make you regular and reduce pain. Ask your doctor about it I am sure he/she will help.

You can have your period anytime from the ages of 9-16. Many women experience cramps. Sometimes just a slight pain in the stomach and other times the pain can really hurt. No worries though they make pills, such as midol for the pain. Also other problems you may have before starting your period is nausea, vomiting, headaches, breast tenderness, bloating, tiredness, mood swings, and food cravings.

Contrary to popular belief menstrual cramps are not a necessary part of being a woman, excluding health problems such as endometriosis most women can prevent period pains all together, or at the very least cure the pain when they do get any easily without resorting to painkillers and without messing up their bodies with extreme hormonal methods.\n\nPeriods are only as good or bad as YOU make them – if you have a good attitude towards your period this does effect your periods including making period pains less painful, also of course if you have a positive attitude about your body it also means you are more likely to research and learn about it and so find out that there are in fact a lot of things you can do to prevent menstrual cramps all together.\n\nHere are some ideas both to prevent and ease menstrual cramps;\n\n•Do not use painkillers, these actually increase period pain over time as your body build immunity and gets used to the painkillers being within your system, not only that but they simply numb the pain they do not actually do anything about the cause of the pain – pain is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong, don't ignore it. Coming off painkillers if this is what you normally use can be hard because the next few periods after stopping using painkillers can seem more painful, but if you use other methods to prevent or cure menstrual cramps it does get better.\n\n•Take herbal teas, many herbal teas are ideal for menstrual pains as well as other menstrual or cycle related problems including curing PMS, reducing flow, inducing your periods and regulating your menstrual cycle. Herbs to try are as follows; Lemon balm, Black Haw, Blessed thistle, Camomile, Wild marjoram, Red raspberry, Wild strawberry, Valerian, Yarrow, Raspberry leaf, Blue cohosh, Dong quai – Check with a health store to make sure they are right for you, some stores will also sell women's blends that would help as well.\n\n•Don't use tampons, as well as being very bad for vaginal health many tampons are also made in such a way that they expand lengthways meaning that they can expand straight into your cervix, which is already delicate due to menstruation, and increase cramping. Commercial pads are also best avoided because as well as also being bad for vaginal health they are generally uncomfortable so hardly help with menstrual cramps. If you use these options consider other options such as; rubber bell-shaped menstrual cups, silicone bell-shaped menstrual cups, diaphragm as menstrual cups, homemade menstrual cups, softcups, organic tampons, sponges, padettes, padded panties, organic pads, cloth pads, homemade pads, free-flow, free-flow layering, free-flow instinctive, extraction, toilet paper, period blankets, etc.\n\n•Avoid salty foods and alcohol, these can increase bloating by retaining water, and so make you feel generally sluggish as well as making cramping worse.\n\n•Drink lots of water, this can aid in avoiding bloating. This will also help with headaches or migraines brought on by menstruation. Also adding lemon juice, a natural diuretic can decrease bloating.\n\n•Eat your greens, and a healthy diet can make you feel a lot better at the best of times, but during menstruation it can be a good pick up and help avoid that sluggish feeling.\n\n•Avoid foods like dairy and caffeine, generally these can cause problems for people, during menstruation this can be particularly true, many find these increase period pains. Also avoid soy products; these are notorious for causing menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take up yoga, this is a very good exercise tip because as well as being gentle exercise it also has stretching that can help even further and breathing exercises that can help relax you and so further aid in relieving menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take a bath, a nice warm bath can help relax you and the heat can ease period pains as well, avoid things that can harm your vagina like bubble bath, however some nice

If it's in the middle of your cycle, it could be when you are actually ovulating.  If so, the pain would be caused from the egg being released from the ovary.\n\nI guess my question to you is - does it happen every month?  \n\nGood luck!  (You may want to talk to your gynecologist.)

Not at all!  I get very crampy and bloated and sex is about the last thing on my mind when I have my period.

You may have what is called endometriosis - it's a condition where uterine tissue grows in places other than the uterus, and it can cause very painful periods with extreme cramping.\n\nI have this, and what has worked for me is going on the pill continuously - I don't take the sugar pills so that I don't have periods anymore.  This has made my life a lot easier; before, cramping was so bad that I would have to take sick days because I physically couldn't get out of bed.  \n\nIn terms of a short-term fix, maybe the school nurse would let you rest in his/her office?  If you've already taken advil/midol, there's probably not much else you can do.  Good luck!

If you are sexually active, you may be having a miscarriage.  If not, it sounds as though your painful periods may be due to endometriosis.  Your Dr will be able to diagnosis you.  If it is  endometriosis, there are treatments that can help you.  If left unchecked, it can lead to fertility problems down the road.  Please don't suffer any longer and go to a Dr for help.  Periods should never be this painful.

Yes, its common.  Sometimes, when my period is done I bleed just a little bit.  Nothing to worry about.  It seems like it never wants to leave us. lol

from month to month. In other women, the cramps are always very painful. Sometimes the cramping is also accompanied by nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, nervousness, fatigue, diarrhea, fainting, bloating, and mood swings. Women who experience these extreme maladies during menstruation have been found to produce more prostaglandin’s, hormones secreted by the uterine lining to increase contractions.
