[quote=Anonymous]My daughter (now 15) has also struggled with her period and has missed school or called for us to pick her up. I haven't seen anyone mention prostaglandins as playing a role. Too much prostaglandins can cause bad cramps, diarrhea, nausea, etc. I wish I had a solution other than a BC pill to help correct this imbalance; taking Advil helps to limit the production of prostaglandins so if you take it a day or two beforehand, it can help. I have also read that magnesium plays a role. https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/dysmenorrhea-painful-periods (look at What is Primary Dysmenorrhea? and How are painful periods treated?) I am also thinking about acupuncture for my daughter. Good luck! Someone mentioned a gyn that specialized in teens - I would love the name and any other recommendations.[/quote]
