I know it sounds unjust, but there are many women whose menstrual periods bring uterine pain that’s not responsive to over-the-counter medications. There may be back pain as well. In severe cases they may vomit and have diarrhea. They get little sleep because of the hormonal disturbance (just as women in the throes of menopause often can’t sleep, for the same reason). A gynecologist will prescribe birth control pills, but these may not work to control the symptoms and can have serious side effects.
Many years ago we used to recognize that some women were indisposed during their periods, and back in my grandmother’s day certain girls just took to their beds. Now women are expected to conquer the world, and a girl who has real pain is laughed and accused of malingering at if she tries to take a few days off. Is today’s system really better than the one our grandparents had?
