I just love the fact that this video showed the real color of period blood instead of blue like in ads..! I am among the unlucky 70%, btw.
It is okay, I am also unlucky. And the worst part is that almost my entire family is not part of that 70%... 😔
I understand.. Same here.. I m starting to take it as some bad days which will go away soon😅
No schools colleges or any institution give us leave when we go through some harsh time like this. A day leave will be more than enough without a leave penality. It's sad not even all girls school are supporting this idea.
Exactly! Some countries have period leaves, so helpful
Zomato started period leave let's hope people accept it
@@tbhkashish ironically I just spoke to a Domino's employee in Mysore Karnataka who was insulted by her manager for asking leave twice in a month for periods. Unfortunately she has irregular periods all she needs leave is in the first day of periods due to pain. And that poor woman was insulted saying "how much time in a month will you have periods". It's hard to even hear that from another woman. If Zomato is giving leave let's hope it's a beginning of a change for better. No woman should go through insults like this..
That's right. When I asked my female boss for a leave, she said it's a monthly thing, try to manage it.
@@wildrose2004 that's really sad I have also heard of such instances the shocking thing it has happened with women's who are at a senior level in companies don't know what normal female employee's would have to face
In our schools when we tell the teachers that we were absent because of the cramps and all that we get during periods, they are like 'this is not a excuse','you have to avoid these type of situations' like seriously!!!how to avoid our periods??
Really.. how fucked up is the place we live in ..
Ikr? To be thinking some women teachers say this... saying like "you have to cope with it we did too" like wtf? Are we the same age as you? Smh
@@kdjoshi726 I completely agree. When I went replying to my teachers on this topic they reduced my marks in internals and told my parents that I behave badly and don't respect them at all.
I donno why period pains are not considered in the same category as normal pains
in our schools we were excused from physical education class but then many girls started using it as an lying/excuse to get out of the class so that was a shame.
It's 2020 and it's ironic how some people still think that this one's a myth. As someone who has no choice but to stay dosed up on medication throughout the entire first half of my menses, it makes me glad to see people, and not just my medical colleagues, talking about it
How schools don't even consider own pain. Brush it off when the teacher asks us the reason for an absence and we reply to as a period. We need more awareness
I suffered from primary dysmenorrhoea for years, right from the time I started to get my periods. Most people said it gets better after you get married, which is a euphemism for becoming sexually active. But I was too young to understand then and thought it to be silly. It did nothing to help the terrible pain which sometimes made me cry, toss around in bed and stay bedridden for the entire day.I coped with it with pain medication specialised for dysmenorrhoea, a hot meal and sleep. Thankfully, it did get better over the years and it didn't cause any fertility problems.
It's literally my story... Gynaecologist telling me that it will be better after marriage.
What medication do u take?
@@aquaanjy I don't take any now, but in the past i took decolic U or Dysmen. They were specifically prescribed for dysmenorrhoea. But I still had to miss classes and later on, office. Hope it got better for you now.
@@snigdhadas3507 I m 30 years old married person and it still hurts for the 1st 36 hours of my each menstruation cycle. When I was in my teens I did take decolic U for a couple of times, which could not help much. About other medicine, dysmen , it reduced pain for sure but certainly in exchange of profusive , unmanageable bleeding. Now I take nothing except having some rest and diverting my mind towards other things.
@@sudiptachanda4490 oh, dats so bad. Did you consult a gynecologist, maybe it was some other condition, not just dysmenorrhoea? Along with the medicine, I also had something substantial to eat and took a nap. Try it, maybe it will help.
Extreme pain and cannot get out of bed on the first day of my period.. Generally one painkiller helps.. Ultrasound done nothing came.. Gynaecologist says its normal.. But i can't bear the pain on my first day..my life gets disrupted in all sense..😢
Actually menstrual pain and dysmenorrhea are the things that are never given importance in our society as we women are too shy and stereotyped to talk about our own problems. I am a patient of dysmenorrhea since I was 15 and my mother always tells me not to scream much and behave awkward around my father and elder brother on the first day of my periods, because that is considered to be a shameless act. My female relatives advise me that I should not take 'dysmen' ( the painkiller) and according to them it is a 'normal feminine disease ', although i suffer from terrible pain, headache and nausea. I remember, my ex best friend (female) saying one day, during a fight "you are an attention seeker and that is why you fake illness during your periods... there is no such thing!". She said that because she saw me shivering from pain on the class as my periods began without any notice. Even, one male gynecologist called me 'weak' and 'fragile' because in his opinions, I should be able to go through this as I am a female being and one day I have to be pregnant and give birth to children. Really, we are still so much underrated!
You're very brave. Sending more strength and love, sister. ❤️
@@hayleymurkute3586 thank you!
I'm also suffering from the same condition but my mother never lets me visit any doctor. I'm having cramps and heavy flow since when I was in class 6 . I can't live like this🥺
@@shreya3702 wow, why? How old are you? Does your mother know that it can cause serious issues?
One of the most informative infos about dysmenorrhea :)
Sorry. Should disagree. There are a few mistakes. Kindly read my comment.
*Fact:* Primary Dysmenorrhea is not an issue with the woman's body structure, it is because of the increased myometrial contraction which is because of the release of PGF-2alpha (produced in response to vasoconstriction from decreased progesterone every month). This is absolutely normal and needs evaluation only if the pain is not getting relieved with painkillers and other medications. It is seen in young females particularly in late teens and in the 20s.
Secondary dysmenorrhea on the other hand is because of a pelvic pathology, seen in women in mostly in the age grp 30s and later. It is pathological and needs consultation with a doctor.
Decreased progesterone what does that mean? How to boost it.
@@sharmashivi4036 It cannot be boosted. Decreased progesterone occurs naturally and is the mechanism for menstruation to occur. It is absolutely natural. Just the amount of PGF-2alpha released varies and also the pain pathways in different people and hence perception to pain varies.
@@aparajitayograj but why it decrease ?
@@sharmashivi4036 It decreases because of our body's mechanism, in response to a number of changes that take place inside our body. Every month the hormones inside have to increase and decrease for menstruation to take place. The decrease is important to cause menses. If it doesn't happen there will be no menstrual cycle and that can cause problems.
@@aparajitayograj OK... Such a complex body we have. 😁
I feel so grateful I'm not a part of this 70%, the ones who are, you guys are the real MVPs, feel better. ❤️
I remember teaching in school and a 13 year old girl had a hideous dysmenorrhea attack that began sometime in the beginning of the class. Within 10 minutes the girl withered as an epileptic patient, lying on the bench flat and rolling hither to tither. It became a scene as the whole class was worried. She cried bitterly. The school nurse was called. All the classes next to mine were disrupted and the girl was rushed to the hospital. Period pains are real. Most women are lucky enough tp have just stomach pains. For few, its kind of an embarrassing attack of epilepsy.
This channel is so so underrated
when I was in school... I would sit silently refusing to interact with anyone and dealing with pain alone and sad. Still doing the same.
Swaddle you'll missed to mention that in many cases, despite "hot water baths" and "pain pills", women may still suffer. Sometimes women try everything from home remedies to over the counter pills to consulting doctors and are still left to just deal with the pain, because there's no fool proof way of "dealing with it" yet. Dysmennorrhea especially primary often goes undiagnosed and brushed under the carpet even by gynaecologists.
This video needs more research. 😅but a good effort in the right direction
It doesn't get undiagnosed. People don't know what it is. It is the physiology of the woman that causes her pain. And this pain gets relieved by medicines, if you consult the right person. The only pain that has no painkiller is the labor pain.
In the end, womens are left to find a cure themselves
Sometimes I'm in the 70% and sometimes in 30 % I have observed when I eat healthy ,I don't feel the pain like its nothing while in months when I eat fast foods or skip meals I feel horrible pain in the later month period ....
So True.. Feel Pain in alternate month
Your channel is informative enlightening with a touch of sly humour. Loads of appreciation and love to y'all
I always feel that these videos should be recommended to men too..especially in rural areas considering women education is a big issue there so that atleast the husbands/brothers/fathers can help the woman of the house
I'm faint in bed, can't even breathe properly, can't even stay still, I'm rocking madly...
Sameeeeeee
Really great initiative I don't even have a slight idea of what is dysmenorrhoea , but now I not only known to it but also aware about it 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lucky that I'm not a part of the 70%
Same....😇
Who knows? If you don't have now, may be in the future. Better to take precautions
@@tribesail1336 after pregnancy the menstural pain reduced
Blessed
@@megha_speaks435 It was opposite for my mother
Can you make a video on endometriosis? It potentially affects 1 in 10 women worldwide and has no cure as such.
I would like to know more about this?
It has a cure. Consult a good gynaecologist for this. Do not consider all the facts of 'Swaddle' to be true, there are mistakes in this video as well.
@@aparajitayograj hi, my gf has this and she's already had surgery once and the doctors have told her that it will come back and be aware about any pain. Her gynaecologist has suggested birth control as a preventive measure but that has its own health issues.
@@mihirvelapure2258 I know it must be hard because of the severe pain, if you stay by her and take care of her it will get better. If she had a surgery before, and she is young, most likely a type of minimal invasive surgery would have been done on her (Like cauterization, Laser, Laparoscopic breakdown of adhesions, cystectomy, LUNA, something like that).
Following the conservative surgery, recurrence rate is 10% at the end of 1 year and 25% at the end the 3 years. So there are majority chances that it will not recur. But a doctor can never tell to the patient that the future is all well, otherwise they will be blamed later on. So that is why they have said to beware of the pain. If in the least possibility she has pain, a second surgery can be done. And there is another alternative to repeat surgery, which is Mirena IUCD.
As of the previous surgery, Mostly combined therapy is given along with surgery, that is surgery and drugs both are given. I don't know which treatment she has undertaken, but if she was put on drugs along with surgery, which further decrease the recurrence rate, the only side effect of the drugs is it delays pregnancy. So you don't have to worry much.
Regarding whether to pursue birth control or not, that depends on the severity, the surgery undertaken, the age and much more. You can ask the doctor why she has been asked for birth control, or consult another doctor maybe. As of now, you don't need to worry much. Only if she would ever want to plan a baby in the future, there are various techniques nowadays for the fertility issues, including IUI, IVF, ICSI, etc, that can be dealt with when that situation arises.
As of now, just take care of her, check for any symptoms of dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, menorrhagia, etc. And if anything happens, consult the doctor.
All the best. God bless both of you! Take care!
@@aparajitayograj are you a doctor or some I like you sis I learned so much from your comments 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😂 ugh I felt smarter after reading your comments
This channel is damn underrated...
Please make one for PCOD/PCOS
Hey The Swaddle! You guys are doing brilliant work! And I love your channel. I have been trying to get information on Pre Menstrual Syndrome and it's management. A lot of individuals who go through PMS report extremely low moods and I personally go on to experience low self-esteem, depersonalisation and other symptoms of a depressive episode. I have not been able to come across any reliable source that can provide me aid with how to manage these symptoms. Would love it if you guys could consider making a video on Pre Menstrual Syndrome, it's management and also your take on it being classified as a Psychiatric condition in DSM-5.
Yes most people, In fact women, cannot relate to this condition. They say it's an excuse, but now I believe even more that what happens every month is not my overacting or misunderstanding but its 100% real
It rarely pain for my side ... sometimes i forget if its the 2nd day or 3rd 😂.... lucky me😌..... i reccomend to exercise really well ... i had really dont good workout since i was small and the positive side is now showing
😤❤
Take a half table spoon of black pepper powder with a glass of luke warm water. Believe me girls......it works like a magic in severe period pain. Do try then reply whether it worked for u or not.
I also tried ice cream during period cramps n yes......it also worked for me!
U can try any 1 of these😊
U should try taking aamla and honey as well....its seriously works like magic ....
I'll try!
I've tried the lemon water , it was good for temporary relief . Also fresh mint in hot water or hot chocolate are good options as well as warm showers . Just stay away from caffeinated teas and coffees , they just make it worse .
I was having terrible period pain before giving birth of course naturally. I am not sure for women who have had a c section though.
I think it gets better after one becomes sexually active. That is what people used to indicate in my hometown when I had it. And i think they were on to something. Because i had my son by c section and for the last few years, dysmenorrhoea is not troubling me.
Lmaooo I had terrible cramps one time at work and I asked to go home even though I was afraid of getting fired. I was honest and said my cramps are terrible and I didn’t want to work slow because I was a buss “boy” at a high end restaurant; my boss said no and I proceeded to have cold sweats, walked with my back hunched over, felt like I was getting kicked in my stomach, nauseous, and felt faint. I finally got sent home and the next shift was being made fun of because my boss said I looked like I was a addict and was coming off of something. I quit and never got the chance to report him.
I have secondary dysmenorrhoea. Due to both cysts and endometriosis.
Please make a video about PCOS
Thankyou...great help
I even end up throwing up yellowish stomach acid sorta thing or whatever the hell it is, is it normal?
Can you talk about periods which exceeds more than 10 days
My menstruation once lasted for almost 21 days
there was a break in the 10th day, it started on the 14th day again,
I had to take medication to stop the heavy bleeding
@@tobago3306 what medicine you took can you share please?I am taking pause 500
I don't remember the name ma'am,
I was 14 then, I am 20 now...
I just remember it tasted very bitter, such horrible experience
@@tobago3306once even i had such horrible experience
My periods continued for 3 to 4 months. With intervals of 2 to 3 days with less blood, rest days were very painful and also caused more bleeding
Welp now its fine
If your period lasts for more than 10 days, you are suffering from menorrhagia. Please consult a gynaecologist for the same. It is not a serious problem but needs intervention.
I have PCOS and suffer from severe pains during my periods, I take painkillers to survive school, college, office !!!
Yess.... Someone please tell these men that it is not. Normal and we don't get used to the pain and it is a Big Deal
My period pain make me faint😭
My mom has this although me and my sister don't have this
Is PCOS same as this?
No. In PCOS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome) periods are absent for majority case. Periods may stop for few months to years.. with other symptoms.
No PCOS, is an entirely different condition, and usually there is no pain during periods, if you have PCOS. It consists of no periods or missed periods along with associated problems (which may or may not be present) such as weight gain, occurence of chest hair or more precisely hirsutism, alopecia, acne, increased blood sugar levels, etc.
@@aparajitayograj please start a RUclips channel..... I will definitely subscribe you.....
@@thedoublep That is so sweet of you❤, but I do not have time for that. Maybe sometime in the future.😊
I need to drink lot water then I won't get pain that ik in my case

Wow, Nefertiti for the graph :)
If its experienced by 70% women shouldn’t it be considered normal?
Oh I thought it was normal
OMG :(
I love y'all
👌🏻
When you realize you too are part of that 70%
Did you say sugar? But aren't we given chocolates to eat? Is that capitalism trying to milk money on periods too? Woman this is fucked up!! Pardon my paranoia I am suffering from this very thing discussed in the video rn😂😂
Oh I thought it was normal
