Advicedysmenorrhea in teenage daughter
Posted September 2, 2024 by squelchito in Women

My 16 year old daughter has very painful periods, something I have little personal experience with. We've been trying heat, NSAIDs, supplements/teas, etc. and she says it's not helping. She wants to go on BC pills and says a lot of girls at her school are prescribed BC for painful periods, some even have BC implants, this is routine, etc. But I never took BC myself and I'm leery of giving her synthetic hormones (then again I take synthetic estrogen for menopause so maybe I'm overthinking this). Another challenge is I'm having difficulty finding a new gyno for her. Does anyone have experience with/ thoughts on hormonal treatment of dysmenorrhea?
