Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. If you are experiencing cramping, this is common during menstration. If your pain is overwhelming as you mentioned that your daily activities are at stake, I would certainly go and talk with your OBGYN. Many times, taking birth control will alleviate the pains associated with heavy bleeding and cramping during menstration. Have you considered this as an option?

I hope this helps and keep us posted.

Hi Anonymous, What your saying about all your symptoms are all normal. If you get like this alot it is a good idea to see your GYN about this. Taking Motrin (ibuprofen) which is over counter medication is helpful to. Take this and if you see relief you can see it is all related to your menstrual period so their is nothing to be worried about. If it bothers you a lot it's always good to go to a GYN.
