For the menstruating people here

I had similar issues from puberty on. I'm 72 and thus have lived through different levels of medical advancement and awareness.

Wildly erratic periods, pain (sometimes of the severity you describe). More than one doctor suggested I was hysterical about my 'female parts' and I should just quit it.

In my mid-twenties I was told I was pregnant. Went through five months of prenatal care. Then my doctor - a bedside jerk but a better technician, said "You're not going to have a baby. You're going to have an operation."

They removed, as I recall, 17 ovarian cysts and diagnosed endometriosis. I was told only pregnancy might ease or cure it. It did ease. It produced my daughter. But it didn't cure it and at 34 I had a hysterectomy.

I was delighted to be finished with all that insanity.

Endometriosis?

Push for tests etc

See a gynecologist, not a gp. They see this more often and treat.

when I was a teenager I thought it'll just get better with time but now in my twenties
I do m best to take care of myself n stay healthy but it just never got any better , never easy
🙇‍♀️ sorry but I think sometimes prolly we just have to bear this pain
I really have no idea how to deal with it•́⁠⁠⁠‿⁠⁠,⁠•̀

PCOS can cause intense pain because of pressure in cysts. The hormone changes can also affect your bowel and cause pain that way too. Definitely worth seeing a gynae specialist to see what they can do for you x

I used to. I have PCOS but I take really good care of myself so it helps me physically but not mentally.

I had similar lvl pain when I had my period. I had to call in sick because it was so bad. They didn't investigate me properly. They never scanned my stomach. In some cases the Endometriosis is in the stomach not in the vagina or on the egg stocks.

Yeah....go to a Female doc .
For all the advancement in medicine, theres so still little knowledge about women's biological reproductive health , and even less awareness and acknowledgement of it.

Iv heard TOO MANY stories of women suffering for YEARS , only for there to be a solution .

To give you an idea of how much attention the medical system has paid to OUR biology, heres an example :
In Greys Anatomy - (THE go to medical book on human biology), there something like over 11 pages dedicated to the peins and testicles.

Untill recently, (2005, thanks to Dr Helen O'Connel), the entry for womens correlating anatomy was no more than a paragraph...not even one page.
And we have an added birth canal.

In ALL the male doctors throughout history - who have added to this volume since 1858, not ONE cared enough, or was interested enough to want to know .

change your doctor , he's shit .
