Menstruation is ‘natural’, but I hate it when people use this as an excuse to negate the fact that it’s also extremely painful. The cramps vary from person to person and they also vary through the days, but they exist. Menstruating people are often told that we are overreacting or it’s probably not “as intense as we make it sound like.” However, a research had concluded that period cramps can be as painful as having a heart attack. So to re-iterate how serious menstruation cramps feel, here’s some context by menstruators. #SWEditDesk #Menstruation
