Absolutely! As someone said before, the pain isn't the only problem with Endometriosis. When I stood up more blood would come out and I was constantly worrying, especially in middle school, if I had blood on my pants and that was humiliating when it happened twice. It caused me to be constipated and have trapped gas and I was so bloated that I looked pregnant. I didn't have some of the symptoms other people described but it's a miserable experience. My now ex husband thought I was exaggerating. I didn't have kids and sacrificed ever having kids when I got a Hysterectomy 3 years ago. I will never regret that. Most bosses will just think "it's a part of life and you just gotta deal with it." We can't just call in for a week once a month either. I wish every guy tried this once.

I had a classmate who was incredibly fastidious about her appearance, as well as her demeanor and outward presentation, basically very well put together, incredibly well spoken, and very driven by getting good grades...except one week per month, every month: she would come to class in pajamas, no makeup, tears streaming down her raw red face, curled up in her desk just holding on by a thread. That was when not many people knew or talked about endometriosis, but I swear to god, once I saw her and the amount of pain she was in, but still showing up to class because she was so driven (and they wouldn't let her miss much class anyways), I KNEW that endometriosis was real and not something to take lightly. I have had cramps that made me want to throw up, cramps that have left me crumpled in a ball on the couch, and cramps that have made me feel like my guts were going to spill out all over the place, but I still don't think they were anything like what this girl went through. Hope she has gotten some sort of relief from it by now, or at least has a doctor who takes her seriously.

Several times I passed out from the pain and my doctor told me to take Midol. I missed school, work, exams, major life events because I was curled up in a ball in between vomiting. I rejoiced with the end of periods - best day of my life. I was furious when I finally saw a medical notation on a scan report indicating irregularities in my womb. All that lost time.

The staff at our university couldn’t be less understanding - they told her to leave her studies for good. We were very lucky to have three wonderful children, but sadly she passed away from breast cancer in 2017 while our children were still quite young. I don’t understand how people can be so unsympathetic to women with these kinds of health issues. To the guys out there - stand by your woman and look after her - that’s what true love is. It’s very easy to cut & run, but the real men will always be found by ‘her’ side. I wish people would just generally be nicer towards one another.

I'd almost always just grit my teeth and tough it out through the day. Monstrous. On the few occasions when I gave in and took an aspirin or something, the pain level seemed to at least double, up to the point I'd have to just shut myself in a bathroom until I stopped throwing up. Then I did something inspired. I'd been brought up in a low-sodium household, thanks to having a sibling with high blood pressure. Well, starting about a week before the target day of the month, I'd cut salt down to near absolute zero and keep it there for the week. Using that plan, I rarely had any cramp problems anymore -- like, essentially pain-free from then on.

Every man, father, brother and husband ought to try this, not, necessarily, to cause them pain (edit: "in a mean way"), but to raise sensitivity for their loved ones for AT LEAST 7 days out of every single month. Yet she gets up and grocery shops, works, plays sports, does homework, during classes and meetings, deals with it on vacations, on dates, has to always be prepared just in case, etc. Some women only get 7-10 days' worth of 'good' days in a month. And bc women are so used to hearing that they should just "buck up and take it" we often don't get help with our UNnatural menstrual pain when it occurs. It really shouldn't be a 10 every month. If so please make your doctor check you out. Thank you to the men on this show for being willing to let other men know what it's like (to SOME degree) and to validate women!

Also for you’re statistics, you are saying that ONLY 16% of people DON’T get periods, I’m sure that 84% Of EVERY WOMEN in the world is a VERY large number. And the 43% only reported that it happened EVERY period meaning that a cramp will come to most women in a lifetime. When someone says “we need teenage boys to do this” we aren’t saying “boys have to take responsibility of our pain” we are saying that boys should be considerate of women who are on their periods instead of going “haha she’s pissed because she on her period” because that isn’t funny when you have blood dripping down to who knows where. Especially male teachers in Girl schools and general teaching systems/ governments are all ruled by men who have no understanding whatsoever of what it feels like and don’t allow a woman to go to the toilets even if there is a burst of blood going through her uniform. Sounds disgusting? Because it is. having blood leeks may sound disgusting but the behaviour of people who don’t consider it are even worse.

Endometriosis is a lot more than experiencing "painful periods"... although, it's definitely a huge red flag to have debilitating cramps, there are plenty of other symptoms that can go along with this horrific disease. Lower back pain Pelvic pain Painful bowel movements Painful intercourse Extreme fatigue Miscarriages Infertility Certain foods can trigger flare-ups (gluten and dairy) It's a complicated disease that often gets misdiagnosed for many years.

Right?! I'm getting ready to ovulate and I've noticed with this cycle I've had a huge surplus of emotional sensitivity, and I started crying when my husband didn't want to hold my hand because he was tired...I wailed "Well I'm sorry holding my hand is such a chore for you!" He instantly felt bad and took my hand lol...I feel bad for reacting that way but OMG the sensitivity is driving me nuts. Everything sounds mean.

I had a total hysterectomy at 38 and it was the best thing ever. My doctor had suspected I had endometriosis but didn't know officially until surgery. The endometriosis was not as bad as suspected but the amount of cysts were a huge surprise. To all the young ladies suffering out there, I am so sorry. I dealt with it from 14 until 38. Now at 45, I feel the best I've ever felt. There has to be something doctors can do to alleviate the pain without a hysterectomy. We need way more studies to be done in this area.

Thank you so much. From the age of 13, I had such bad cramps for the first 24 to 48 hours of my period that I would curl up on the bathroom floor in a fetal position as I endured the waves of pain. I would also vomit repeatedly and have diarrhea. The menstrual bleeding was very heavy and sometimes came out in clumps. This was my monthly reality from 13 years until sometime in my late 40's. And people would say to me, "Sorry, but it's just all part of being a woman." I was supposed to just accept that. I hope this device becomes widely available so that men and also the fortunate women who do not have terrible monthly cramps can have this reality check and know that we are not being dramatic.

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I wore tampons during my cycle for years, that is, until after I had my first child. At around 30 I stopped using tampons. Those tampons caused me so much pain in my vag and they also caused my cramps to be far worse than I was use to. I am 50 now and I still use pads. I have no unusual or outrageous odor. No one knows I'm on my period unless I tell them that I am. Pads allow the menstrual blood to flow naturally as intended. Tampons hold blood in place and can cause things like toxic shock syndrome do to the blood pooling inside. No judgements, just something to think about.

These comments are so right about the cramps being only one aspect of having a period - this demonstration doesn’t even touch on the mess it makes, the diarrhea, the back pain, the hormonal changes, the irritability, the cravings, the acne, the migraines, the nausea etc. Imagine putting up with all that and still having to go about your day like nothing’s wrong. Then imagine being actively derided and made fun of if you complain about it. It’s the worst. And we just have to live with it! 🤷🏻♀️ One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention that I think is also important to remember: HAVING A PERIOD COSTS MONEY! Most people rely on disposable pads/tampons for their periods so you are constantly having to buy them. They are not cheap! And you can’t rely on public restrooms having any in an emergency either, you always have to bring your own. It’s always a game preparing for your period to start - if you wait too late you bleed on yourself but if you start too early you waste the products you’ve bought. And not only that, but wearing a pad or tampon too long can give you Toxic Shock Syndrome, so you are constantly having to change them. You go through them FAST! And even on top of all this!!!! Most of these products are full of toxic chemicals! I’m talking lead and arsenic have been found in tampons! Having a period SUCKS!!!!!!!! Anyway, tune in next week, where we will discuss the bodily effects of a woman’s only alternative to getting her period every month: PREGNANCY! Yeah, women have to do that one too!!!

From age 12 to 48 I had period pain almost every month. I missed school and work so many times because of it. At 43 I went through menopause seemingly overnight. Drastic changes, periods lasting up to 6 weeks but then starting again after 7-10 days and cramps worse than I thought possible. Had shots and took pills, a couple of D&C procedures, multiple ultrasounds. Was told by the physicians it will pass. I was begging for a hysterectomy and finally after 5 years I had it done. The surgeon told my I had so much scar tissue from endometriosis he had to dig out my ovaries, they were like little black rocks. It was so frustrating to have repeat my story over and over for so long.

I just want the entire uterus OUT at this point.

Enjoyed this way too much! I do NOT miss those days. My cramps used to be an 11. A number of times I ended up throwing up in an ambulance on the way to the ER. One time I was in the ER, on the table screaming, and they gave me a narcotic drip to get me out of pain and it still took several hours to get any relief. Planning your life is a nightmare when this happens every 3-4 weeks, unpredictably. I would be fine, then it would come on suddenly and within 15-30 minutes I would be decimated and have to spend the rest of the night in bed and sometimes several days. It's hard to schedule jobs or events further out and you end up having to cancel and you just have no control over that. Especially when you are booked to work at a special event. Good riddance to the periods! I got no relief until my 50s.
