    I've not had kidney stones, but I've had gallstones and I've given birth. Childbirth is definitely the worst, but period pain isn't exactly a walk in the park. Neither is, as was mentioned, "cleaning up a crime scene." I was hospitalized twice for it as a teenager, to the point that I even needed transfusions (which didn't make my Jehovah's Witness family members very happy), and I'm anemic to this day because my hormones are weird and insanely imbalanced.
    You dudes definitely have it easier in biological terms. 😅

      That sounds awful! I'm so greatful to people who donate blood. I'm anemic and had to have transfusions during half of my pregnancy because certain hormones cause my red blood cell count to drop like crazy.
      I don't bleed a lot during my period though but before my pregnancy I had really bad cramps. I thought childbirth wasn't that bad because I had experienced that level of pain before. I'm not saying childbirth was pleasant but at least those cramps have little pauses.
      I once called my bf to get home from work because the period cramps were so bad I couldn't get off the bathroom floor, it had hit really fast and I couldn't get to my medication.

    I am a 46 year old woman and I have been having periods since I was 11. They started slowly becoming horrific when I hit 35 ( as it happens to almost 1/3 of women) and I dont know if I will be able to cope with 10 more years of this. Despite being a doctor and having in theory access to every service, I have to say that period pain is widely misunderstood, dismissed or ridiculed even by fellow women. This past summer I really understood what "wanting to jump out of the window because of the pain" means.

      Kidney stones vary in how painful they are, just like periods. Some women who have both given birth and passed a kidney stone say that kidney stones are more painful, others say childbirth is. I don’t think you would say that to a woman who says that kidney stones are the most painful thing she’s experienced

      @@jackotrades0888 Kidney stones were close to my child births in pain, and those births, especially the first one, was not an easy one. The doctor specifically said to me after that first birth that if I felt this had been bad, it was because it was, and that so much pain wasn't the norm.
      I will not go into detail, but the kidney stone, like the births, brought me to a place where I just couldn't handle the situation myself, and felt like a little child wanting my mom to make it go away. And I was a grown up and had been for at least a decade.
      I have gone to work with cramps and just like - been there off and on, as the pain came and went, and I crumbled gasping over the piano, untill I had to say to my students that I could not call this "a lesson" and that I would have to substitute this later. And I also once went home and threw up from the pain on the way. SO it's not like I don't know period cramps can be bad. Just that kidney stones were way worse.

      Similar experience here. I hope you're able to get access to an OBGYN, if you haven't by now. You could have Endometriosis and there are ways to treat it. If it's not Endo or another distinct issue there are still a lot of decent options for reducing period frequency and pain. It can take a while to find the right treatment, but when ya do? It's amazing!
      Dealing with this level of pain and getting people to take you seriously can be an exhausting struggle. Even though the whole process might make you want to scream in frustration it's still worth fighting for decent care. Getting the right treatment and relief makes the frustration quite a bit better in hindsight.
      BTW: I'm not a doctor/OBGYN/medical professional. Even if I was a doc I certainly couldn't diagnose anything based on a single comment. I'm sharing what I know from personal experience, the shared experiences of others, and countless hours spent researching the topic. I'm not sure if it'll be helpful and I realize unsolicited advice is THE BEST 🙃... and yet, getting advice from others going through similar pain has been _extremely_ helpful for me.

    men who complain should take care of those with endometriosis. my best friend became practically paralyzed for a few days when she had her periods before she finally got surgery to help with that. she would become bedridden and her husband would have to carry her around as well as use a wheelchair. she had to wait ten years on a waiting list to get that surgery so she endured ten years of excruciating pain. sometimes her periods lasted two months. she was diagnosed at sixteen and had her surgery this year at twenty seven. she is also desperate for children but endometriosis makes it almost impossible. each time they tried she always miscarried. i truly wish we could donate your uterus and have it transplanted into another. it's still pretty experimental. i never want children so i would have been the first one to jump onto that opportunity so she could have a chance. the physical pain that comes with endometriosis often overshadows the mental and emotional pain of it. i truly wish there was a cure. i feel sorry for those affected by that disease, and i hope it gets better for you all. ♥

      Thank you for speaking up. I'm so sorry your friend had to go through that pain, the wait, and the miscarriages... and I'm pissed because her story is so incredibly believable and common and there's no reason it should be!
      I have endometriosis. I was told I "probably" had it at 14, but couldn't find a doctor willing to do the surgery until I was in my 30's. My other docs wanted to control it with hormonal birth control and pain medication. It helped, but it didn't come close to the relief I got from Endo surgery. Luckily fertility was never a concern for me so I didn't have that worry. I know it's huge for others and it's beyond upsetting to hear about women losing their fertility. I know sometimes it's unavoidable. Yet often it *could* be avoided if proper care/treatment was provided in a timely manner, and that's....🤬. Unacceptable, yet it's the norm!
      It's hard to get taken seriously, no matter what your feelings are: I like kids but knew they weren't for me at an early age. I wanted a partial hysterectomy in my 20's. I was told I might change my mind about kids, so: nope. Years and years of "you never know!" as a *legitimate* reason for docs to prevent access to a hysterectomy.
      I knew. I never changed my mind.
      I finally had it this year: my cervix, my uterus, and my fallopian tubes were removed (I would have loved to donate mine if it were possible! By that point they weren't in great shape... still fertile, though).Ovaries stayed to prevent medical menopause. Healing was difficult, but it's over. Now?
      I've never felt pain free like this in my life. I never have to have another period. I don't have to worry about pregnancy. I'm so happy with my decision.
      Your friend shouldn't have had to wait for treatment. So many of us shouldn't have to wait, or be forced to maintain fertility when we don't want it, or be forced to lose fertility when it is wanted!
      Ugh. Hopefully, sooner than later, things will improve.
      Thanks again.

She's the one who got me Endo surgery (soon after I became her patient!) and did my hysterectomy. We need more docs like her: taking us seriously and willing to work *with* us (she didn't take the whole hysterectomy businesses lightly: she worked with me to find alternatives, but in the end they didn't do what we hoped. Though from the start she said "If it's what you really want, I'm not going to tell you no..." I have utmost respect for her and how she approached what I wanted with REASONABLE concerns _and_ respect for me).
      I really, really hope you find a specialist soon. There are Endo research/support organizations that have lists of "good" doctors but of course your location, insurance, and income can make things tricky...

    Gentle reminder that periods aren't supposed to hurt so much that you're unable to do daily activities or pass out!!! If painkillers don't help please, please go to the doctor, you may have endometriosis or PCOS. Hormonal birth control can help so much, and there are surgical treatments. Don't glorify horrible period pains as "normal woman stuff" please, young girls need to know what is a normal amount of pain and what is not.

I went on birth control when I was about 16 which helps immensely, but there's nothing medically wrong with me, I just got bad cramps. I remember the second period I ever had at age 11, I called my mom at work crying because it had been like four hours of nonstop pain and I just wanted it to go away and she was like "I know it sucks but there's nothing you can do, just take some Aleve and lay down" 27 now and still so happy to be on birth control, but I dread when I start trying to get pregnant, cause if it doesn't happen right away I'm gonna go back to 9-10 hours for a couple days of feeling like someone is slowly squeezing and releasing my internal organs.

      @@heathercrary6002 Basically it's like it can kinda halt stuff, there can be phantom symptoms (you know cramping as that peak of female dominate hormones have its peak) because the E is still going through you at full strength just semi suppressed by the T to (hopefully) stop changes. But mensus can still occur or range in the spotting section. While masculinizing the features some E changes won't change, or as with me have gone more male-like but have the undertones of the original framework.
      Unless all of the assigned sex hormones are removed from what I have gathered there is the chance for things that can be there. One thing is T is not a method of birth control. Meaning PIV can still get you pregnant with no protection. And as I already mentioned, phantom symptoms of cycle/ Me, i get occasional cycle pains. Now with IBS it is rather triggering with the way my severe pains would be. So I am working with dysphoria decreasing on that.
      On another note, if an AFAB person had no E going through them and just T at the time of puberty the difference, besides
      lower anatomy and don't ask about that, will have a traditional masculine work.

    But for real, as a woman who has also had kidney stones, it's NOT the same and I definitely demanded my husband take me to the emergency room. I was crying and shaking in pain from my kidney stones (4mm, that's like the upper end of "passable" without needing intervention). Period pain is definitely bad, but I wouldn't want another kidney stone ever.. IDK maybe if the morphine had actually worked I'd be singing a different tune....

      I’d take the three stones over periods for the rest of most of my life. Pain is temporary.

      Plenty of other women have also had kindey stones and don't agree with you. That might be because both period pains and kindey stone pains actually differ from one case to another.

      I'm with you. My kidney stones were absolutely horrible! Also 4mm. No fun at all. Tears from the pain and morphine didn't even touch it. Misery.

    I've had what my urologist called a "kidney boulder," no joke and it couldn't possibly be passed, and I have primary dysmenorrhea. Nexplanon implant keeps that in check. I have fibromyalgia and an abnormally high pain tolerance too. BUT kidney stones hurt way worse than menstrual cramps! My urologist said multiple female patients of his said that they'd rather give birth again before having another kidney stone. If you've never had your kidney swell or ureter stretch, neither are made to do so so it causes extreme pain, you can't compare the two pains.

    Like a cramp? It's like when your kids step on a toy and come crying to you. It's just not in me to feel bad in that moment, the amount of times I've bruised my feet on their shit.. Lol

    I got my period when I was ten, so from a young age my little sisters would call it my “bloody underwear”. To this day we still refer to our periods as bloody underwear, which gets absolutely fantastic around men!

    No, I had horrible cramps, especially as a teenager. Stones are truly much much worse, I hyperventilated with the pain and took a couple of vicodin I had in the house and it did not touch it at all MUCH worse w stones. We cant judge other people's pain I guess. This is cute but her poor husband.
