Unfortunately all doctors do is prescribe medications to try and cover up a symptom. I had to take my teen daughter to her first GYN appointment yesterday because of painful periods, and without even conducting an examination the doctor started offering birth control to adjust her hormones. She was not happy with me challenging her when I started asking questions about how (or even if) it would benefit my daughter, what the side effects were, what lifestyle (ie diet and exercise) changes she could make, how long she would take it.... She couldn't answer any of my questions, admitted any treatment would be trial and error until they found one "that worked", and eventually admitted that none of them would do anything about the pain or discomfort and that my daughter would still just take ibuprofen and rest more after taking the pill. I asked why she wouldn't do some more testing and try to determine a cause in order to address that rather than mask a symptom. Which made the doctor even more frustrated. I'm so thankful my girlfriend prepared me for that discussion because she knew they would just try pushing birth control on her. This issue with doctors just unthinkingly pushing treatments and looking down on their own patients isn't limited to oncologists.
I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV, so the following is purely anecdotal and not intended as medical advice.
That out of the way, I can tell you that while I had generally tolerable periods with the usual, but bearable, "Ugh," feeling right before, every once in a while..? Horrible. I came across Christiane Northrup's book, "Women's Bodies. Women's Wisdom." She had a chapter on painful periods -- what causes them, how to fix it. Omega-3. Not "fish oil." Omega 3.
As a Mercola customer, I looked for Omega 3 on that site. There I found Omega 3 oil from krill. Began taking it -- three gel caps per day. My very next period started right on time (which was usual for me), but it started without any "signal" whatsoever. I felt nothing...Day before, day of, during...no discomfort at all. With God as my witness...I never experienced even the slightest bit of discomfort during my period ever again.
Crazy? Impossible? Well, that was my experience. I continued taking Omega 3 every day and had my period for another 20 years -- all without issue. Dr. Northrup explained in her book what's going on with painful periods and what it is in Omega 3 that addresses that. That I've long forgotten, but I will always remember my experience and my gratitude to Dr. Northrup. It might work for your daughter.
Interesting! I was unaware of its effect on leg cramps, but that's great news if it's worked for your husband in this way. Those things (painful leg cramps) are the worst! (Well, maybe second worst after painful menstrual cramps that last all day or several days! 😉)
Painful periods can be caused by a lack of calcium according to Adele Davis in her book Let’s get Well. And can be relieved significantly when calcium is replenished. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It’s about using food and vitamins to improve health.
My daughter was an Adele Davis baby 52 years ago. She thrived. When so many babies and toddlers had ear infections around us, she never got even 1 infection. She went barefoot and was outside all the time. I made baby food and had a little hand grinder at the table that I would use with our own garden produce. I can still see the face she made when taking the cod liver oil. Of course now, she’s a captive of the modern PHARMA machine. And her son also. Sad.
90% of doctors have never been taught how to properly manage the problem you present - they continue to do the same old thing and never find out what is the problem and treat the underlying cause.
If you want to find out why and treat the underlying cause go to:
And in the search bar put in Napro, and a list of Telemedicine Doctors will populate.
There you will find Physicians that are trained in "Napro Technology". These are physicians that undergo special Fellowship training to restore women's health back to normal using natural methods. "Physicians and medical consultants trained in NaProTechnology utilize technology, blood tests, hormone panels, exploratory surgeries, and strong diagnostic tests to identify and treat underlying reproductive disorders and hormonal imbalances. NaProTechnology works with the women’s body by understanding what is not working to treat the underlying issues".
You are 100% right. This gets overlooked as well as so many other causes.
PCOS is very treatable and it effects all of your body and metabolism.
You can pass it on down to your daughters if you have any. If they have any of your symptoms I would have them contact a NAPRO Specialty Trained physician so they can prevent the damage that will happen. They can prevent and reverse most of the metabolic problems. Contact:

Krill oil also stops painful leg cramps! After being on it for over 6 months now, my husband has not had any muscle cramps.

Thank you for this comment. I just ordered Zenwise omega 3 to try with myself and daughter.
You're welcome! I hope it may bring her relief! 🙏 Good luck!
Thank you!! I will have her try that!

That is a sad story. I wish I’d had the book when my kids were babies and hadn’t given so much paracetamol/calpol.
Let your food be your medecine? Gosh, I remember Adele Davis from my youth!
Thanks!
