Gynecologist : As a ped. When my young ladies have this sort of pain and emotional upset with their periods after making sure with hx and ex there is no other reason i refer to an adolescent gynecologist to do a full exam and the usual recommendation is usually to use the contraceptive pill to prevent ovulation which is mainly the cause of your distress this isn't a permission to have sex only to help you.

Bad PMS: The reflexive answer is to go to a doctor and get on birth control pills. This attenuates pms. Vitamins that have been found to alleiviate pms are - Folic Acid (400 ug) - calcium with vitamin d - magneisum - vitamin b6 (50 - 100 mg) - vitamin e (400 iu) over the counter pain relievers will help with the pain and cramps. Exercise, more fruits and vegetables, and adequate sleep all help.
