Hi
My periods started to change around a year and a half ago - cycle down to 24 days, heavier and clots, more painful etc. I saw a doctor and had bloods, ultrasound and all was fine.
I'm now in agony each month, tmi but the pain in my bum is horrendous! It feels like I need to bare down and give birth! If I pass wind or a stool it eases slightly but comes back after a while. Only thing that helps is ibuprofen 800 and a hot bath. The pain is that bad I can throw up or feel like I'm about to pass out.........
I went back to gynae and they just gave me stronger pain relief and said as tests are fine it's 'just one of those things'. Surely though such a change isn't normal?! For 20 years my periods were fine, my last baby was 7 years ago so not hormones settling or anything and I'm dosed up on drugs for 5 days every 24 days!
Any ideas what could be causing this or anything else I can try? We're not in UK so I can go straight to gynae but they're hit and miss on how good they are.....
