Dr. Chheda – A lot of teenage girls come in and say, “Oh, I’ve got cramps.” Cramps are normal, everybody gets cramps with their periods. Wrong! You are not supposed to get cramps with your period.

Please, if you’re getting cramps, there are things that we can do about it. We don’t want you to be in pain. I definitely don’t want you to be in pain.

So if you’re getting cramps with your periods, please talk to your pediatrician about it because you should not be getting cramps from period. We’re not supposed to normalize pain, so please try not to do it. There are ways around it.
