A member asked:
I have horrible period cramps and they have gotten worse the older i get, could i possibly have endometriosis? heavy flow, non-stop cramps, cramps after period has ended, i take too much ibuprofen and now it makes me feel sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible that you have endometriosis. You need a full workup by a Gynecology Dr. It is possible that your Dr may recommend using hormonal contraceptive pills to regulate your cycles and minimize the symptoms. Taking too much ibuprofen may result in gastric ulcers. See a Dr soon.
