Hi,
Okay so I am 19 years old and have really painful periods. As I have gotten older, my periods have become worse. I will cramp a few days before my period, during my period, and even after. I also have pain when I take a bowel movement on period, which I know could be caused by endometriosis. I take ibuprofen and put a heating pad on my stomach to ease the cramps, but that doesn't always help. Sometimes the pain is so bad that I can barely walk... It feels like somehow is twisting a knife into my ovaries! I have heavy bleeding the first few days on my period; my period usually lasts 5-6 days. Does anyone else have this problem? I am scared it is something more serious, or maybe it is just all in my head. All I know is that I am tired of the extreme pain!
