Why do women hate their periods?

Question

i have hardly any problems at all with mine so why have i seen women

countless of times on here p**s and moan about how they hate theirs! personally i don't have a problem with mine because i have mild to no cramping at all but even if i do i am still able to get on with my day to day life. even though i am very self conscious i still am able to bear the thought of embarrassment and that has enabled me to just check once before moving on. basically i am just asking why do you hate your period. thanks for all your responses in advance.

Answer 1

I completely agree with you!!! Yeah i have a period every month and stuff, but its not that bad!! I have little to no problems with it!!  I am also wondering why they hate it but here are some possible reasons:

cramps

PMS

annoying to always change pads/tampons

stained underwear

sore b***s

bloating

cravings

Answer 2

well good for you

but some some of us aren't that lucky

a lot of us get horrible cramping, awful back pain, heavy bleeding, bad bloating, mood swings, tender b*****s, and having to worry about leaking all the time

which is why we hate them

and btw, thanks for gloating about your problem free period, that really makes everyone else feel just wonderful

Answer 3

some women are lucky that they can sail through their periods without too much of a problem. I get bad cramping, headaches and heavy flow but thank goodness I don't get any of the moodiness or depression or crankiness. plus as you get older or have children your period can change. and I agree with the thought that the plumbing is working!  haha

Answer 4

Some women are luckier than others.  It affects their mood and everything else.  My friend gets really moody and I don't even wanna be around her when she's on hers cuz shes just that bad.

Answer 5

I view my period more like you do. I pretty much see my period as mostly just a little messy but even that isn't bad.  

Answer 6

Speaking for only myself . I have Very, Heavy, Periods.  I suffer from very , very, very large clots to the point that I can actually feel them pass through my cervix and I'm in Great Pain!!! Along with the pain  and huge amount of blood loss, I have to increase my vitamin intake the week of my period, so I'm taking liquid iron to help with that.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad that it comes every month , but if I cold decide how long it lasted would make me happy.

I know that some people take birth control to help ease the symptoms of a period...like clots, blood flow, and how long it would last. I can't do that because I take injections of heparin on a daily basis.  

Answer 7

because not everybody is lucky enough to have a period like yours. some like myself get it really heavy and stops you from doing stuff.

plus some get all the other c**p stuff like bad cramps.

Answer 8

because some girls (like me) get all the symptoms full on and it hurts like heck with all the cramps and stuff, and your constantly craving sweet and salty foods, and it seems like it comes at the worst possible times, like i just went to california for two weeks, and guess what i got my first day there oh joy!

Answer 9

I don't get cramps either! Actually, I never even have! And I have no appetitive, I don't have mood swings, I get like everything opposite of what most people get.

But I do feel really self-conscious.

Answer 10

I'm like you, no cramps or anything bad like that. But some things people get are..

Back Pains

Acne

Cravings

Constipation (worst thing ever GRRR)

Feeling Grumpy

Gaining Weight

Feeling Tired

Bad or Slight Headaches

Mood Swings

Sleeping Problems

Wanting to be Alone Usually

Answer 11

Because,

I get cramps and PMS, and also, a lot of people on here flaming their periods are girls in grades, 6 - 12. I hate trying to figure out how to go to the bathroom and get to my bag at the same time, and also, if someone found out, I'd be a laughing stock.

Answer 12

Because I feel really sick and most women have these problems. I just go on with my life though. Pop in an aspirin and im on my way. I never complain.

Acne

Back pain

Bloated abdomen

Changes in appetite, including cravings for certain foods

Constipation

Crying spells

Depression

Fast heartbeat

Feeling irritable, tense or anxious

Feeling tired

Headache

Hot flashes

Joint pain

Mood swings

Not feeling as interested in s*x

Tender and swollen b*****s

Trouble concentrating

Trouble sleeping

Swollen hands or feet

Wanting to be alone

Weight gain  

Answer 13

i feel that the death is veryyyyyyyyyy near to me everymonth

i cry from the pain

Answer 14

i hate mine because i love s*x, lol, and i don't like haveing s*x all the time when im not my period, lol. so thats my reason. But everybody is diffrent, i get cramps pretty bad, but i deal with them, my mom on the other hand gets cramps and takes pills non stop to deal with them, everyone is diffrent!

Answer 15

well just because yours is perfect doesnt mean other girls' periods are too.

some girls have a really hard time with theirs, from super cramping, to really heavy flowing, and backaches, and major PMSing.

your one of the lucky ones i guess!

Answer 16

Honestly, the cramping is never my issue, why I HATE having a period is it's gross. Simple as that. Having this nasty, sometimes mildly odd smelling bloody mess oozing out of your v****a each month, gee, why would ANY woman hate that?! lol... sorry, but I just despise it. And it's embarassing. I hate going in to change a tampon only to have this thought going through my mind of who can hear me unwrapping those uncomfortable little buggers, making it that much more obvious I'm on the rag.

Sorry, but I HATE HATE HATE it. And ironically, since being married for basically 5 years, I've had my period maybe 6 times due to getting pregnant and then nursing, so I guess I shouldn't really complain! :)

Answer 17

mines isn't that bad either, but it feels so disgusting.

and i hate having that insecurity of whether or not it stained my pants and stuff.

its just horrible for me -_-
