[quote=Anonymous]I had easy periods when I was a teenager. After children, I had monster periods. If my child had a medical condition such as dysmenorrhea, I’d treat it medically. They can’t afford to lose 3-5 days a month to a treatable condition.

It’s cruel not to give medical attention where it’s warranted. If dd needed glasses I wouldn’t tell her to sit nearer to the board to avoid treating that. If she were diabetic I wouldn’t tell her we can’t give her insulin because it alters her body.

At the same time, I wouldn’t give hormones to treat mild cramps, but some girls have extremely heavy flows, terribly painful cramps, unpredictable timing, and issues with mood swings or depression. I think some people can’t see past their own noses and assume that because they generally can go 6 hours without changing a pad or they don’t need more than 1-2 doses of Motrin during a cycle, no one else has symptoms that require more than they do. Anyone asking for medical intervention must be faking, slutty, or a medical anomaly. [/quote]
