I had horribly painful periods when i was young. i had children, the pain stopped, now it's back. is it normal to have painful periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysmenorrhea: Or painful menses, can be spasmodic or congestive, primary or secondary to another problem, not normal, but a common gynecologic problem. Usually child-bearing cures it, as with your case, but if it reoccurs and not relieved by simple measures like administering OTC NSAIDs as ibuprofen, you need to be evaluated by your gynecologist, wish you wellness
