Every time I’m due to my period, I experience terrible uterine pain. Sometimes it is associated with 3 days lasting headache. Tylenol does not work for me. I’m 16 and am thinking if this is going to follow me whole my life.
I’ve started practicing some exercises because I heard that it could decrease uterine spasms in pms.
Please post and give me some advices.
It does not have to mean that you have to suffer that pain life long. If I were you I’d make an appointment at gyn’s.
I suffered very painful periods and was diagnosed endometriosis. I do not want to scare you, my advice is to have an exam. It may be nothing to be concerned of. Maybe there is a specific reason for your pain, and maybe there is not, and pain medications are the only solution. But anyway, you should visit your gyn regularly.
When I was in my early teens, I started having excruciatingly painful periods, bad enough that if I didn't get a perscription strength dose of Ibuprofen swallowed before the cramps set in, I would end up vomitting and even fainting from the pain. I lived with that up until I experienced my first miscarriage at age 27 at which time I had my first ultra sound. The doctor noticed a growth on the inner lining of my uterus and suggested it was in a bad place if I wanted to have children and it should come out. I had a myomectomy (opening up the uterus surgically) and the lab results showed that the growth was Adenomiosis (a form of endometriosis but located inside the uterine wall as opposed to outside on the reproductive organs). She scraped it out and I have not had pain associated with my period since. I'm now 49 years old.
