Period anxiety

NAS86473

Hi, looking for advice. Daughter has terrible fear of her periods. Not pain but fear of the sensations and the yuck of it and just can’t cope. Won’t leave house. Can anyone recommend a therapist or somewhere to get advice from someone who understands and can give her copying techniques for this particular fear, thank you

  • I would not take any form of pill again nor am I able to recommend due to my experiences but I do accept that some pills work for some. 

    I tried the pill & the mini pill during my teens and early 20s. I had mood swings, weight gain, bloating, and they did not stop my period.

    How is your daughter taking medication? I really dislike taking tablet medications and the tablet gets stuck in my throat which has resulted in me at times vomitting.

    I was recommended an implant that is inserted in the arm. I was told this stops some women’s periods. It’s was horrendous and made me nauseous being able to see and feel this small tube in my arm and it gave me irregular periods and longer periods that would last weeks. I wouldn’t recommend unless your using it to stop chances of pregnancy and don’t mind irregular periods. 

    I would 100% agree with Junipers advice. Prepare and plan ahead. 

    Each female is different and it could be trial and error to see what works best for her body and mind.
