'Some professors would not sympathize and penalized me for missing class with grade deductions.'
is another condition that may not directly cause cramps, but can cause irregular periods and therefore very heavy and sometimes painful bleeding when menstruation finally occurs, Dr. Dweck explained. Severe cramping may also be caused by ovarian cysts or even the insertion of a copper IUD.
In some cases of especially painful periods, a doctor might prescribe a prescription pain medication or even a hormonal birth control pill to help better manage the symptoms. But birth control isn't a quick fix for everyone struggling with menstrual pain."If pain is from another source, such as scar tissue, infection, or mechanical pressure of fibroids, one may need to address those issues in another fashion, including surgical intervention," Dr. Dweck said.
Because everyone's periods are different, it's important to track your symptoms to understand what might be going on with your menstrual cycle and causing you to be unable to carry on with your regular routine. But even just knowing that you're not alone can help make painful or heavy periods feel less isolating.
The more we can openly discuss periods and everything that goes along with them, the less taboo they'll become — and the easier it'll be to speak to your own boss when you have cramps that are keeping you from clocking in.
