Having problems with period

I am a female, age 20. A few days before my period, I would have some symptoms like headache, nausea, no appetite, and breathing difficulties. During period, I have really bad cramps (can’t move too much and serious headache), I usually eat painkillers but I noticed these few months when I take them my headache becomes more painful. During the 3rd day (when clots are coming out), the cramp comes back and it only subsides after the clots have completely came out. Now after period, I can feel some pain on my lower abdomen, this is the first time I am feeling this kind of pain. I am not sure which and what doctor to find, thus I hope to get some help on this matter.

Hello, and thank you for contacting us

Notably, for many females, period pain & menstrual cramps can be slightly more severe than the other.

However, you should definitely report to your health care professional if you have any of those conditions:

  • medications such as NSAIDs and self-care steps does not help
  • the period pain interferes with your daily routine
  • the cramps suddenly get worse
  • develops a fever along with your period pain
  • you still have the menstrual pain even when you are not getting your period

Women’s health is always a priority. Get the right help here!

To know further with regards to your condition, or to be able to decide on which therapy best suited for your condition, additional assessment must be done. With that being said we encourage you to consult with the nearest clinic or hospital in your area.

For now, drink plenty of water, take a few paracetamol pills wisely & ensure to maximise your rest in order to avoid menstrual cramp side-effects and to try to alleviate your pain. I urged you not to take any medication & supplements (other than basic NSAIDS) prior to seeking a doctor at certified clinics or hospitals To prevent any possible adverse event following the uptake of unprescribed drugs.
