8 Reasons Why Periods Could be Painful. Are Menstrual Cramps Normal? [CC]

Are period pains normal? What could be the various reasons behind painful periods? Many of us meet doctors for our period pain, but are often dismissed with "it's normal" or that "it's in your head" - so as someone who has endometriosis and other medical conditions, I thought to help break this horrible myth and empower us with some information that may help us by talking about 8 reasons why periods could be painful.

Currently watching this lying on my floor after crying and screaming and wailing thinking this is normal.

My cramps, I can feel it like two days before my period will come. They aren’t bad but I feel it slightly. My first day of my period, is when it’s bad. Some months I can bear it but sometimes there’s are months when I have to take Advil. But then the second day it’s not bad and then it disappears. My period has also shortened as I aged, i’m in my late 20’s. Two very heavy days, third day light, then disappears to spotting for another few days.

[caca]

[heidiisvolldumm]

every period destroys me so much it’s so exhausting anf I can’t go to school because I have to puke and scream. my doctor said it’s normal tho and due to overweight. I am trying to lose all this weight to get rid of them now

[YurinanAcquiline]

I have severe pain a few days before and during my period. Nausea, bloating, gas and severe diarrhea occurs often.

[FruityUnicorn]

I have found it helpful to take painkillers as soon as I get my period even if the pain hasn’t yet started.

[ayatirfan]

mine is so painful, i don’t even know what to do. it comes about every 3-5 months and lasts about 3 weeks to 1 month. i cannot handle this anymore

[vinuthamurthy]

My period pain last upto 4-5 hours during first day of my periods is it normal?

[diananunzou]

Its to painful sometimes i just want to die 😭😭

[nicolebrown]

Every single month I get the worst cramps that make me sick to my stomach and leaves me in bed unable to do any regular daily activities. I have developed a huge fear of getting my period from this.

[chloepender]

Currently I’m cradled In a ball in my bathtub crying after throwing up 3 times. My my stomach is DYING 🤪

[hasneenjahan]

So informative maam. 🙏
I saw my mom's suffering during Perimenopausal period cramping. And sadly most of the people ignore this severe cramping pain during Perimenopausal period though women are highly at risk of Fibroid tumors at this stage . 😓

I got my period for this month yesterday. My cramps were the worst they have ever been in my life! I couldn’t sleep, get up and walk, and was left in tears because medication only helped a small amount! (TMI) but I also felt such a strong pull in my lower abdomen when I would push to poop and when I would stand up straight. I do get ovarian cyst, bleed pretty heavy, and I would consider to have painful periods!
