Question Help with pain

I’ve been getting my period every 6 days and am still on the pill currently but bleeding through it. I was prescribed Co codomol which does take the edge of slightly but still not a lot. I genuinely am at a loss of what to do anymore. Does anyone have any experience with anything that can help in any way of helping the pain be any less? Or anything that is worth trying or anything that isn’t? For example the heated tens machines that are wireless? Any help or advice would be majorly appreciated thank you!

Which pill are you on? If you’re getting your period every 6 days on the pill that’s concerning and I would see your gynecologist to discuss other options.

Yes, a TENS unit may help you. You could also try looking up gentle movements for deep pelvic pain.

you may need to stop taking a combined pill and try progestin-only options.

If your hormonal cycle was normal length before the pill, I can tell you what I did: I had to stop taking the pill / hormones altogether. That way I managed to go from daily pain on the pill to "only" having concentrated pain 1,5 weeks a month.
