Why does this happen when I'm on my period?!


Question: Why does this happen when I'm on my period!?
Every time I am on my period, my [hoo-hoo] (vagina) hurts really bad!. It kills, it feels like someones trying to turn it inside out, and I also have really bad cramps!. And also, if I'm on my period and I have to go #2, that makes my [hoo-hoo] hurt really bad too!.

I'm 16!. Why does this happen!?

I've heard that its normal, but my doctor said I might have endometriosis because I have a lot of pain during my period!. But the only way to find out is if I have exploratory surgery and they don't want to do that because I'm too young to have surgery for that purpose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Technically it could be endometriosis!. I have always had real bad cramps!. When I was young, I had cramps so bad I would pass out, and it would get worse when I had to have a bowel movement!. I do not have endometriosis!. That being said exploratory surgery is usually the last measure in finding out if you have it or not!. My sister has endometriosis, which she was diagnosed with at 23!. They always figured she had it (it does run in the family) but the started with an ultrasound!. After, nothing showed in the ultrasound then they went to exploratory surgery, and the only reason nothing showed on the ultrasound is because they said her endometriosis was in the tissue around the ovaries and not actually attached to the ovaries at this point in time!. I think it's important to find out if you do have it, because that is something that can affect fertility!. It can mean you have limited time to have children!. For instance, my sister now has about 1-2 years to have children!.

Also, the exploratory surgery just for your general knowledge is they cut a whole in your bellybutton, and send in a camera to actually see if there are cysts, but again if you are worried, I would tell the doctor you would like an ultrasound, and if he won't listen, then ask for a second opinion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I experienced this to when i was your age and i thought i was going to die!. It was so bad that I had to miss school everytime I got my period, but it eventually got better im 19 now and my period is still not completely normal but its alot less pain and cramps now! I think you are to young and your period and body are still changing so in time the problem will take care of its own!. But you should try to get some prescribed meds for pain, I know i got some muscle relaxers prescribed to be for cramps and it really helped also around that time of month be careful what you eat because certain foods trigger more cramps!. I stayed away from carbonated drinks because they make you feel bloated and more cramped! Try a heatin pad as well it really helped me over night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The best person you can ask is your doctor!. I'm sure they can check up on you and help you along with it!. I don't think you should be asking random people on the internet about this!.

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What is your alternative to the surgery!? Staying in that much pain!? Did the doctor give you anything for the pain!? Ask him to give you something or find another doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
