Periods among women myth, treatment, and reasons why they suffer in silence

Catherine did not care much for her 20s and 30s because at the time of her period she felt a little pain in her stomach for a day or two but with a paracetamol and a bottle of hot water in her belly, every pain was easy. Many times she even forgot that she would experience periods of pain once a month. But right after the 40s, everything changed.

Each month, she had to cope with severe flu symptoms and severe back pains.

When I'm waiting for periods, I start to feel very hot after the temperature starts to rise. Soon thereafter I have a flural condition, and if that's not enough, it's all associated with a terrible headache”, ) Catherine, who is now 44 years old.

There are times when periods affect me so badly that I start and become depressed. I feel exasperated by my children and almost offended for any friendly batu that my friends or family can express. From this I feel like I can't work, I can't be productive, actually part of that is the great pain I feel. All of this lasts for a week, and when the period comes all the way out of”, then Catherine says.

Catherine's story is not unknown and unknown before. That is because most women at the same age experience the same thing.

Professor John Stud says that despite the belief that period symptoms are more serious during adolescence, that is by no means true. He says that the peak point of period disorders and pain is at the end of 30 and early 40. The worst thing, though, is that these women don't even use drugs or other forms of relief.

“Women are often told that they have a depression of age or a bipolar disorder. Or in other cases, they are simply ignored as to the pain they may feel at”, says Professorud.

According to him, it is because women lose their self - confidence and cannot think clearly. As for women who use contraceptive medicine, which is said to be a facilitator for secondary pain, Professor Stud argues that women who use this drug have some control over these symptoms and thus seem more comfortable.

But what can be done to natural relief of these symptoms? The main thing is food diet and daily routine change. Being active and healthy helps prevent many periods of pain. However, says Professor Stud, when the pain is intense, soothing drugs may also be used, although he feels that there is actually a lack of study to find a drug that would help women to escape life's pain of period.

No one is interested”, he says. “Medical experts do not want to know and psychotherapists do not want to hear that hormones play an important role in women's feelings and behavior, so many answers must be found precisely in the most serious observation of their cycle symptoms. But just because neither medicine nor psychology care to see the problem in this spectrum are women who are supposed to tolerate period pains, not overexcessive them, and certainly not talk too much about what they feel when they are before their cycle...”, Professor Stud is finished.
