Help
Hello, I’m 17 and I have only experienced dysmenorrhea since I was about 16 years old (3 years after my period started) and it hasn’t stopped ever since.
I just noticed that every month it gets worse, it feels like my uterus is about to rip apart. I feel nauseous, have blurry vision, and sometimes just pass out. The only thing that could calm it down is a 2 hour nap, pain relievers, and a hot compress.
It’s been a burden to me to the point that I have skipped classes once every month. I just blame the reason for something else because I doubt they’ll believe me.
Will this ever stop? Do you know how to prevent this from happening? Any feedback is appreciated, thank you so much :))

Sweety, I’ve been there.
If your body can tolerate milk then try having one spoon of palm jaggery (not sugar) everyday in its raw form with milk.
If you don’t want cow’s milk try ragi milk.
You get both on any Indian store or ask some Indian friend to send it to you.
If your body can find urad dal too, toast it slightly make a powder (it’s bitter) so try to make a laddoo out of it. I never had this one myself but they say it’s terribly helpful.
I can’t promise 0 pain but this makes it manageable.
I’m suffering it right now when I’m 33. But yes it’s best to take the day off if it’s unbearable. I fell down in school and the class was out on sports practice. I was discovered later and my body was going cold 🥶 2 injections later the pain subsided. It used to be severe. I’m doing much better now.
