[quote=Anonymous]I hate to use instagram as a source but I would really look at recent posts by Amy Schumer ref: endometriosis.

Painful, debilitating periods are not normal and women should not expect to regularly be in agony and normalize it.

The only times I have ever wanted to pass out from pain or cry involving my uterus was during labor, during an abortion, and during a miscarriage. I have PCOS and have large cysts. Ive had colposcopies and a highly sensitive cervix since just regular Paps are uncomfortable and I cramp for a day after.  I had an IUD put in prior to childbirth and a very painful extraction (it wouldnt close back up). I have had really bad cramps, especially the ones that shock the anus - man those hurt but I have never needed to miss school or work. I also am not a high pain tolerance individual. I say this because there are definitely periods that suck and internal procedures that are not comfortable but the pain is quick.

If your child is regularly needing multiple Advils, unable to eat, etc. please go see a specialist. There really isnt much they can do for things like endometriosis, if that is the case, but they absolutely can give her tools to manage. But it is really important to be clear that a pain of 6-8/10 for a few days every month is not manageable and it should not be normalized that she just has to deal with it.
