period pains make me wanna die

[LittleMagician]

If "God" was so loving and caring to mankind why did they make women go through the most debilitating pain once every month? Every single month I get even more suicidal just from the pain I endure because of my period

I dont know how women feel like, but pain in general, sucks ass.

I heard that combined oral contraceptive pills can be helpful with that

Combined oral contraceptive pill (OCP) as treatment for primary dysmenorrhoea

Contraceptive meds can usually stop all that or at least make it tolerable. I used to suffer terribly - pain so bad I was vomiting, fainting, unable to think straight or even stand up, even with painkillers. Contraception made it more tolerable.

i recommend pain relief like Tylenol or a heating wrap

Check hormone levels. My wife suffered terribly during her periods. Two endocrinologist visits and problem solved. From 3 day agony to 1 day inconvenience. Her words.

That is absolutely horrifying, no women should go through that *drops my feminist literature books*

I think it could be PMDD. Affects a lot of women, myself included. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar because of the symptoms.

My wife said the same thing for many years.

This is one of the reasons I don't believe in intelligent design: no God would intentionally create the female reproductive system like this (unless it was a sadistic God).

Some people are recommending hormonal contraceptives, but do your research on that, too, as some have side effects (including depression and suicidality).
