Period?

I just wanted to ask. I have helecobacter pylori (which causes my stomach to burn and get sharp pains if I am hungry for long) but I can deal with this pain however when I am on my period this gets 10 times worse and I start vomiting minimum 4 times each day for 4 to 5 days of my period. I don't go to school those days and can't get out of my bed.

Female | 17 years old
Medications: None
Conditions: Helicobacter pylori

What you may want to do is see a gynecologist and get started on a low-dose oral contraceptive. If you take it continuously, this will stop your period in many cases and also the pain.
I hope this helps.
