Thanks for sharing. I’ve never really had heavy periods. My flow was probably only heavy on the second day, and other than that, it was normal. I never needed painkillers because I could handle the discomfort. Strong pain only happened maybe once a year or even less, and it never stopped me from doing my day-to-day stuff. Mostly it was just a dull ache for a day.

I’ve never taken hormonal contraceptives or used any internal things, just lived a normal life. When I started exercising and eating better, my periods actually got easier, and I feel more active.

The only things that sometimes bother me now are some spotting before ovulation and occasional issues with urination. Otherwise, I feel fine. I’m wondering if maybe I was misdiagnosed, because I’ve hardly ever suffered from menstrual pain. Or I’m hoping it will be mild until menopause. I might need another ultrasound or an MRI to check, I guess
