Hello, I'm 15 and I suffer from heavy periods and I don't really want to go to the doctor(mostly because attempting to make an appointment is like an army mission and my parents don't understand how much pain I'm in) but if I really have to, I will. I was wondering if anyone here could help me to figure out if there's a big issue or what it could be. Is this pain normal? My period will start any day soon and I'm in extreme pain. I can't even describe the pain but right now it's in my left hip and leg but I also get it on the other side too. It's excruciating. Has anyone else experienced the same or perhaps when they were younger? Writing this on here really does show my desperation. I get this during every period. I don't think it happened when I first had my period but it happens all the time now and I can't cope any longer. Any ideas, thoughts and advice would be super helpful thank you!
