Q: 13/f
ok well i just recently started getting my period a few months ago...i've had like 4 or 5 so far. and whenever i get it, i constantly feel like i have to pee. that might not sound so bad but its like painful...theres like a pain in my bladder and vaginal area, ussually i have to sit in the restroom for hours for it to go away...i've even had to come home from school it's gotten so bad.
is this normal? and is there anything i can do to either make it go away faster or all together?
thanks!

OMG this is soo scary, i have the exact same thing! You probably have a Urinary Tract infection. Go to your doctor and get a urine test, i have the same symtoms and i had too much protein in my urine and thats what caused the pain. The doctor will give you some medication and you will be back to normal in no time!

hi. my name is natalie, im 17 and im really good advice giver, all my friends say so. I've been through a lot so i can probably relate to you. Ask me anything, i wont judge or laugh just be honest.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.

really just express yourself and dont care about what others think, its a waste of time and they're opinion is not as important as yours.

i truly hope i can help.
