The Painful Period Test

We’re told from the start that periods will be uncomfortable and hurt, so it’s hard to know how your pain compares to someone else’s. Take this quick quiz to determine if your periods are abnormally painful.
  1. Have you ever missed school or work due to period pain?
  2. Have you ever brought up painful periods to your gynecologist? 
  3. Have you ever had period pain that didn’t “let up” with the use of heating pads and NSAIDS (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Celebrex)?
  4. Have you ever ended up in the emergency room with period pain?

If you answered yes to ANY of the above, you should talk to your gynecologist about your pain. The above scenarios describe abnormally painful periods.
