(Concern) My quality of life has decreased due to menstrual syndromeㅠㅠ

I started my period during winter vacation at age 12.

Since I was young, I have experienced mild lower abdominal pain before my period, and during my period, the pain was so severe that I couldn't attend school.

While touring the hospital and being told I was doing well, I took various medications, but I didn't get better.

I heard that changing sanitary pads can help with menstrual pain, so I tried using cotton pads, and I also heard that moxibustion or sitting baths can be helpful, but even when I endured the hot moxibustion and sitting baths, it seemed to only help temporarily.

The Korean medicine doctor said that my lower abdomen was cold, so I took herbal medicine for about half a year, but there was no significant improvement.

I only found out after turning 20 that I have a fibroid in my uterus. Since I have polycystic ovaries and the size is small, my doctor said it's not necessary to remove it and advised regular check-ups to monitor it, so I have been living with regular examinations.

Then, in my late twenties, my fibroids grew larger, and I had several removed through surgery, and my menstrual pain almost disappeared, which made me very happy.

But I hear that won't last more than a few years either.

Having a baby in my early to mid-30s and dealing with ongoing menstrual pain makes life really unbearable.

My period has shortened from 7 days to 4 days, but the flow has increased tremendously, so on days 2 and 3 of my period, I have to go to the bathroom almost every hour to change my pad.ㅜㅜ

Before, I only had stomach pain, but after giving birth, now my back hurts too, and when my period starts, I almost stick to the floor.

The obstetrics and gynecology exam shows no abnormalities, but my symptoms are worsening, so I wonder if this doctor can't find the cause. Even when I go to another university hospital, they can't find the cause either.

I am in my early 40s, and I feel so bleak and upset thinking that this will continue until menopause.

Because I don't feel well during my period, I become more irritable, and I really dislike myself for snapping at othersㅠㅠ

I'm sorry that my husband and child have to live with me watching over them four days a month.

I've tried almost everything I can, but since I don't know the cause and there's no improvement in the symptoms, I'm really frustrated and overwhelmedㅜㅜ
