Does anyone else ever experience outside physical pain during their period? It feels like I was punched in the crotch during the first few days. Anyone else experience this?

Hi there,

Yes, it is quite a common thing. I experience it as well. I also find that the discomfort is greater if I have been using tampons, than if I have been using pads. Something to do with muscle spasms or cramping. Plus our nerve sensitivity increases during that time also, so we are more susceptible to discomfort.
