Dysmenorrhea or normal period pain?


I have had my period for 5 years now. During the past 3 years (maybe further) I have been getting some severe pain during my period. PMS beforehand and during the first day or two, and once it starts its really bad cramping, to the point where I dont want to move or stand up. I get dizzy and nauscous, and I have muscle soreness from the middle of my back to my knees. Headaches come faster and easier. Could it be dysmenorrhea? I dont have sex, but I dont think I want to go on the pill or patch or anything. My period is only 4 days long, and Im scared going on the pill will make it last all 7 placebo days. OTC meds dont help much at all, I take perscription doses of ibuprofen just to deal with it. I hate it. Could it be dysmenorrhea? If or if not, what are some ways to help remedy the pain?

It sounds like dysmenorrhea. Have a talk with your gyno, please, because you should not have to suffer this way.

could be that the suspensory ligament that attaches to the uterus is spasmed. Look into stretching the pelvis and muscular attachments in that area to alleviate this tension.
Also, I assume that your ob/gyn knows of this problem and all other problems have been elimated from a diagnosis.

Check with a doctor. There are exercises that can relieve some of the pain, as well as breathing exercises. However, I would do as your doctor suggests, pill etc.

It's period pain, trust me. Try IB profen 800...works like a charm and you feel nothing, it also helps your headaces and that nausea you'll be feeling from pms. I have cramps from hell when my period starts and I'm sorry to say this but if anyone one says relaxing or anything else helps their a damn lye!

you need birth control pills to effectively treat this. yes, it is dysmenorrhea; dysmenorrhea is painful cramps. birth control pills are excellent for this
