DEAR DEIDRE: I’M 14 and have really heavy periods that are making my life hell. It’s been like this since I started two years ago.
When I’m at school, the flow is so heavy that I’m terrified I will leak through my clothes and other people will notice.

I get horrible cramps and sometimes feel so weak from loss of blood that I can’t do anything except lie down, so I’ve missed lots of school.
My friends don’t understand – they think I’m exaggerating.
I dread my period every month.
DEIDRE SAYS: It is awful living with heavy period pain. You need to go to your doctor to rule out any medical conditions.
You can also ask for treatment – the Pill or other medication can help – and you may need to be referred to a gynaecologist for further investigation.
Please ask your mum to take you.
