So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor
If any of your symptoms go beyond “just like, super annoying ugh whatever” levels you should probably go see a doctor about that
You should not feel so depressed you want to die, you should not be getting mood swings so bad that you become violent, your cramps should not be so bad that you can’t get out of bed, your period should not last more than a week, you should not be losing so much blood that you feel dizzy. Go to the doctor.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Endometriosis
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Uterine Fibroids
(Cleveland Clinic & Mayo Clinic are both pretty good about using gender-neutral language in their articles).
