Hi everyone, i am 47, i have suffered painful periods for about 13 years, for last 4 year i have been in agony and heavy bleeding, no pain killers seem to work, i am so fatigued i can barely keep my eyes open, had a scan was told i have a small fibroid and a small cyst in my ovary, they are only small so say no action needed, i have been on evorel sequi patch for about 6 months, its not helped at all, any advice please as i am really suffering every month

Have U tried 'feminax' ............ to be taken 2 days B4 a period is expected.

I suffered for many years as a teen: clotty bleeds, excruciating pains ...... stopped when I went on The Pill.

Hi i have tried feminax didn't help, i did ask to go on combined pill but they refused said it was because of my age, i really dont want to have mirena coil too many of my friends and family had a bad time with it, i also get stabbing pains throughout month around ovary area, and other things, i am going to try and get a doctors appointment

MayB have a chat with a Pharmacist at your local Chemist?  Perhaps there is something stronger than 'feminax' which they can recommend, or ask if the product can dose can be upped at all in the first 24 hours?

I feel 4 U I really do  :-\

It might be worth finding out about the mirena as I know it can pretty much eliminate bleeding for a lot of people xxx

Ignore if its not your type of thing but acupressure can help with painful periods. I was doing a routine for a couple of month, and still do and I think it had helped https://youtu.be/ga9Uy4bThVM
