Fibro can cause issues with your period. I had issues with my lady bits since I was a teen. I recall calling my mom to pick me up from high school because I was in so much pain from my period. I had heavy bleeding, terrible cramps, stabbing pains, it would last for days upon days upon days, no regularity what so ever. I took BC pills in my teens. They helped at first, but quickly didn't do much for me.
When I was 19 I had some massive abdominal pain that I thought maybe was my appendix but wasn't allowed to go to the doctor's to find out (yay military - my sgt. thought I was faking). It lasted for about 36 hours, it was so bad i couldn't even stand up right to walk more than a foot every 5 min or so. Afterwards, I could feel tugging in my abdomen when I would move in certain ways. About a year later, it was accidentally found that I had two extremely large cysts on my ovaries. A 7 lb cyst the size of a softball and a 10 lb cyst the size of a volleyball. I had immediate surgery to remove them and it was found that I had had numerous cysts pop over the years. Including one that the doctor told me I was really lucky to have survived since it was so big it could have ruptured other organs (gee, thanks sgt). The tugging came from the gunk on the inside of the cysts. It causes organs in the area to adhere to one another.
It wasn't until I was 30 that I started having more issues beyond the numerous, painful popping cysts. I started to feel like I was bloated, all the time. It finally got so bad I went in and found my uterus was one giant fibroid mass. A hysterectomy soon followed and by the time it was removed, it had swollen to the size of a woman's who is 16 weeks pregnant. Sadly, I asked the docs in the Army who cut me open to take out the cysts to remove my uterus. They told me I was too young to make that decision. Yet they removed both of my tubes....
Now I laugh at other women buying tampons and pads - I'm evil!
Maybe for female issues you can go through something like Planned Parenthood? I don't know if they do that kind of thing, but maybe they can give you a route to look down.
Thank you for sharing the information and ur experiences. Ill be insistent on doc/the office to get my female organs checked out so that can be ruled out or if the problem taken care of. my mom hates that office..she is almost near wanting to go with me cus im not assertive enough, gotta luv her. but yeah im not as assertive on docs as she can be. Like u I always feel bloated..i feel like my waistline hips and tummy are big as a 700 pound person not a 260pd. I get sprouts of cramp/pain that shoot but a lot of dull aches, back pin, feel like tightening rubber bands in my lower sides of tummy faint burn in vaginal area, sometimes some naseua etc.
