[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take your daughter to a gynecologist to be evaluated for primary dysmenorrhea. This is not uncommon and for teens like me, cannot be resolved with Advil. I was put on birth control pills which alleviated my symptoms almost immediately. Like your daughter, I was missing school due to the pain and nausea and once even passed out in the school bathroom.[/quote] +1 My periods never gave me issues but I knew of girls it did and my own DD suffers. My DD is on BCP to address it. I have to say that I take issue with the attitude, 'some women have really tough periods and we have to learn to push through them'. No, you don't and I suspect it was a male pediatrician who, basically, told her to suck it up. It does NOT need to be this way and you can bet your a$$ that if it were men/boys who routinely had these symptoms it would be better addressed.[/quote]
