Period pains making me sick?

[Legoandloldolls]

I'm at the age where I should be menopausal. However I'm still having regular periods past 50. My periods suddenly got heavy about 6-12 months ago. I had a US and the found many cysts / fibrriods. The overall report said 'normal' so I started on t acid? Sorry can't spell that.

I have rarely ever had period pains but have woken to cramps. Now a pain in my left hip that hasn't gone away. I was sick ( never been sick with period pain). The pain is all below my hip bones so I don't think it's a bug. No fever or temp. Just this really nagging pain in my hip. I took some t acid and paracetamol. But as soon as I close eyes I feel sick again.

Could this by the fibriods or cysts? The cysts are in my womb lining, not my ovaries. I'm getting shooting down down the other leg now

Hi op. So sorry you are feeling ill.

I am not medically trained whatsoever but If you are worried, I would seek medical advice or call 111. I know you say that the scan showed cysts in your womb, not your ovaries, but maybe one has grown there since the scan? The pain you describe does sound like that I used to get in my ovary which was horrendous. Also ovarian cysts can burst or twist which is a medical emergency.

Also, have you considered appendicitis; although it’s less likely I suppose that it would start exactly at the same time as your period?

Generally speaking, I also used to vomit from the severity of the pain of my ordinary periods, the cramping I mean, and I believe that is due to prostaglandins which causes the cramping?

I suffered horribly with nausea and vomiting for years, associated with severe period pain and no doctors took it seriously!

I had fibroids and large ovarian cysts and it got so bad during menopause that I would vomit on a regular basis after I had eaten, or early in the morning, whether I was on my period or not!

A gynaecologist and the surgeon who eventually performed a hysterectomy, told me repeatedly that my digestive problems (regular vomiting and loose bowels) were nothing to do with my gynae issues but the minute my uterus and ovaries were removed; they all stopped immediately!

Hope you feel better soon! Don’t let them fob you off with “it’s just women’s issues”.

Thank you. I did eventually drift off but had to sleep sitting up as as soon as I closed my eyes laying down I was heaving again. Do ovarian cysts hurt during your period? I only have the pain during my period. When I ovulate it's nothing like thus bad although I do normally spot when I ovulate as well. I haven't eaten today..just popping tablets as often as I can. Pain is definitely gyne pain. I'm getting shooting pain down bot legs today. I honestly was Googling internal bleeding and etopic pregnancy last night.
