Any ideas about my periods?

Question:

I have been blessed with periods that bring major cramps (hospital inducing cramps), and don’t come on a regular basis (once every 4 months), with varying flows. This is not my first period, I have had periods for six years plus. I have noticed recently that my stomach cramps up and gives me horrible trouble after I have had sex. I realize that Y!A isn’t a doctor and you may not know what is going on with me but I am looking for new possibilities, My doctors are pretty much horrible. For the past six years they have just blindly put me on birth control, with no extra tests or anything. Any ideas will help at this point. Please don't say I'm pregnant, believe me, I have taken tests.

Answers:
You should go see a naturopathic doctor. The ND would do saliva tests on you to determine which hormones are out of balance and they can help you get them into balance. It is not normal (as Im sure you suspect) to hurt that bad and it's not supposed to hurt after intercourse. I also recommend chiropractics. A good chiropractor could tell you exactly what's going on by checking the condition of your spine - if an organ is not working properly, it's corresponding nerves will be tender - this is palpable in your spine by a chiropractor.

Crampbark will help with cramps until then.

Also - before I got my cramps/periods straightened out many years ago, a shot of whiskey helped. . haha.

Hang in there - there are professionals who can help. Personally, allopathic (traditional) medicine has helped me a few times in the past, but naturopathic medicine has helped me exponentially more.

Edit: I agree with the cervix comment posted above - that does hurt but, for me, it never gave me cramps after. Just hurt when the cervix was touched.

Could he be hitting your cervix during sex?

That is EXTREMELY painful and could cause the "after-sex" cramps
