question about periods

Im wondering if anyone else has the same thought as me...

it seems to me that as i am getting older my periods tend to be much more uncomfortable.  I have much more cramping and pain and noticed it just changes and is kind of worse as i age =(

anyone else experience this? just curious...

Hope you all have a great evening!

    A tmi warning is pretty much a given, right?

    Mine became much worse after having kids. The Pill helped. Well, the second one I tried did. I had to use a low estrogen pill. Also, switching to the Diva cup from tampons helped lessen the amount of bleeding and the intensity of my cramps, which is not that uncommon. I think it has to do with the fact that the blood is allowed to flow out more easily.

    Talk to your Gyn about this, there are a lot of things you can do to manage the symptoms. You shouldn't just have to deal with it.

    I don't have experience with this, but my mom's got progressively worse as she got older.  She ended up being diagnosed with endometreosis (sp?) and eventually had a partial hysterectomy.  Not trying to scare you but definitely talk to your OB.  You shouldn't have to just deal with it.

    Mine have always been pretty bad (like pass out from the pain bad) but they have definitely gotten worse over the years - more painful, longer and heavier. As it turns out I have endometriosis and also had a fibroid so that kind of explains it all for me.

    Yes!

    Mine have gotten worse after each baby and horribly worse after getting my tubes tied.

    Mine were pretty unbearable as a teenager - more due to perception than actually difference, I think.  All the cramping went away for the 3 years after I had my kids though, and came back with a vengeance when they did come back.  Instead of a day of aches and pains, I get 3 days of it.  Weee.  I think it's just making up for lost time.  Kind of like when I didn't have a period for 9 months while I was pregnant and then bleed for 10 weeks postpartum.

    Thanks ladies!  I will definitley talk to my OB/GYN, to make sure there isnt any underlying problem but also for recommendations on ways to alleve it.

    I used to have bad cramps, now I have none (except last month when I had an early loss). the flow has gotten worse though, especially the first two days.
