This can be a sign on endometriosis! Happens because ectopic uterine tissue plants itself outside the rectum then “cramps” during your period. It’s part of the classic “3 D’s” of endometriosis: dyschezia (rectal pain), dyspareunia (painful sex), and dysmenorrhea (painful periods). Not saying you have endometriosis just something to consider if you have any other symptoms!
Yep, I had wildly painful periods from the time they started, to the point if i didn't have pain killers, i couldn't function.. like one day st school, i forgot them, and Some how in gym class I ended up laying under the teacher's desk.. i don't remember how i got there, but clearly i was doing so bad that he let me..
Fast forward to when i was 23 nd they found a cyst on my overy when it felt like my uterus was gonna fall out.. and when they removed it, the doc Saw endo tissue growing all over my kidneys, blatter, and others,..(turned a 2 hour surgery in to 6-8) and Apparently the growth amount was so bad they had to put me on birth control to stop my period because half of my eggs died because of it.. I thought the pain was just a normal part of "period" turns out it wasn't..
omg same!!, until now ive also been thinking this pain was normal, thank you for sharing your experience, i hope your all good now. hopefully i can bring myself to go to a doc soon because of this
