We are bonded by our often secret pain, and by the pure neglect from the medical community. I have experienced debilitating menstrual cramps almost from my first period at age 12. I write this as a challenge to the scientific and medical community: It’s time to prioritise women’s reproductive health issues. It’s time to stop dismissing women and girls’ pain and invest resources and time in finding real solutions. It’s time to stop recommending childbirth as a solution for menstrual cramps.
