For a long time, I've had my monthly "ow", but I never found out why, until my visit to the ER last week for seemingly unrelated urinary problems.
Turns out, they're connected. And the reason?
FIBROIDS. Yes, uterine fibroids that, according to Wikipedia, heavy or painful periods, hereafter known as the monthly "ow". Simply because the fibroids cause the surface area of the uterus to increase in size.
So I'm going to see a doctor in October and see if she can refer me to a gynecologist and hopefully get rid of my fibroids, my urine problems, and maybe my "ow", once and for all!
Wish me luck!
