I'm 13 and i have very heavy periods, i ahve done since i was 10 and they are getting very painful aswell. My mum knows i have pretty heavy ones and for the last two periods they've made me feel very ill as she knows. I know she thinks i'm too young to get the pill or anything as otherwise she would have suggested it. But they cause me quite a few problems, especially in school. Is there anything other than the pill that i can take. (UK) And how do i tell my mum that i want to go to the doctor to see if he can prescribe anything. As it's such an awkward conversation. Should i make my period seem twice as worse as it is so maybe she thinks of it? or slip it into a conversation….how would i slip it into a conversation???
Answer:
I know these things can be arkward to speak about when you’re so young, but your mum has been through all of this herself so she should uinderstand if you ask her for advice rather than just saying i want or need something she will at least listen to what you are saying. alternatively you can approach the practice nurse at your GP's or ask mum if she’ll come to the physician with you for support while you find out what you can do. I hope this helps, i am only a dad but sympathise with you.
Answer:
I think that you should just be open and honest with your mum - a lot of girls have painful periods, but if its disrupting your lifestyle then something should be able to be done - menorraghia (extremely heavy and painful periods) can make your life misery and make you miserable - there could be an underlying cause, such as endometriosis thats causing them to be so heavy. You should just come out in the open with your mum though!
hope this helps!
Answer:
hiya, talk to your mum,she has had periods when she was younger.she would be upset if you were going throw this alone.she can take you to the physicians,and get medicine to simple the heavy periods. she is not a monster.if you don't tell her things,then how is she suppose to know.have a chat with her.
Answer:
Exaggerating about the topic won't help very much. Tell your mom the truth and be honest with yourself about what the problem is. If you truly are having problems with this and don't want something your not letting others know then there shouldn't be a problem with being honest with her.

Answer:
I have the same problem. Incredibly painful. It gets to the point where I start to fear my periods.
What you can do, that I've found helpful, is to increase vitamin intake. It's very natural and safer than birth control (some scientists stipulate that birth control might be a link to cancer). I take calcium-magnesium, because I find actually the magnesium to be helpful with the pain.
Also, I've recently begin taking vitamin B+ and have noticed my periods to be shorter. What I'm supposed to do is take the B+ each day, and then take double or triple when my period rolls around. My nutritionist told me if I do this for a while, my periods should be pain-free, or almost.
Hopefully this helps you. Sorry I can't be more exact on how the B+ works, as I've only just started.
Answer:
I'm 14 and I get REALLY bad periods. I will be off school for 5 days each period, because I literally can't move from the pain.
I used to sit crying in my bed at night from the pain, but my mum thought I was just being a baby.
She finally gave in and went to he doc's for me and got some tables calle Co-codamol, which helped quite a bit.
If your mum still persists there nothing wrong, ask her to pop into he pharmacys for you and ask for something you can take to ease the pain. I'm sure she’ll, if you ask nicely.
Good luck!
