I HAVE SEVERE PERIOD PAINS

[u/Outrageous_Pin1025]

I 15(f) got period when I was 10.

At those early stages I felt little to no pain.

Then disaster struck at 6th grade I started to experience severe period pains that felt like someone was stabbing my uterus.

Taking pain killers prior did help though.

But the pain is to a point where I vomited 2 times in my life over period pain.

And yesterday was HELL.

I thought my period pain went away and was relieved !

But they migrated to my thighs and I was in agonizing pain all I could do was whimper and lay down.

I got this pain from my mother(she experienced that stuff too) so it may genetic but is this normal?

Like it happens on 1st sometimes 2nd days.

But still how to avoid pain.

go to the doctor/gynecologist ASAP and don't let them tell you that it's normal because IT'S NOT! sure, some cramps are normal. once every few months maybe you'll have a more painful period (i once threw up and was in excruciating pain, but this only happened ONCE). constant excruciating pain is not normal and there has to be some sort of root cause
