A member asked:

Good day, i am 35 years old currently not on any contraceptive but my last one was diane due to my acne. last week on 25 i started my periods with terrible period pains that i felt was giving birth, took home pain pills, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual pain ?'s: If not currently on oral bcps, and a sudden onset of very painful menses occurs, at age 35, higher ovarian estrogen levels can make the lining of the uterus (endometrium) much thicker, and clots can more often occur which cause severe cramping as the uterus contracts to move the clot out of the uterus. See a gyn and ask about starting oral bcps again.
