For the menstruating people here

Do you ever have such intense pain from cramping you pass out?
It happens to me every few months, but doc still claims there's nothing he can do about it. Not even give me stronger pain killers.

Edit: just to give you an idea:
I once got those extreme pains at work, and my coworkers genuinely thought one of my (then baby) nieces had passed away due to my crying.

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 .
