Longer cycles = painful periods?

Question:

I have an irregular cycle and just started my period after 7o days without a period. I've never gone that long without a period, but my cycles are often unpredictable. Normally I experence very little pain with my period, but today find myself sick to my stomach because it hurts so much. I know it's noit an early misarrage. Could this be related to my long cycle?

Answers:
Pain in periods comes from cramping. Cramping is your uterus and ovaries forcing blood from the uterus. So yes the cramping is bad because you have not had a recent period.

If you are passing more than a pad a hour then see a doctor. Also use pads not tampons and make sure you stand up every hour or so when your awake to help the blood move.
Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, and eating healthy. Try some pamrpin or motrin for pain. You can probaly get away with upto 600 mg with your 160lbs or below or 800 if your over. EWhen using those doeses only take them every 8 hours not every six. Lastly consult your doctor about birth control to help regulate you period. Mine was like yours and I had to have a partial hysterectomy last month.

sometimes weird things just happen when it comes to the topic...but there is definitely something seriously wrong with your vag...im sorry...because thats just effed up
