So, I've always been a very late bloomer. I'm short, have a baby face and seem to age slower than most. Nobody has ever tried to explain why. When I told my doctor I wasn't having periods, they did tests and told me i had very low hormone levels. They put me on Estrogen and started a forced period a couple of times but I hated taking the medicine so I stopped. Years went by and I'm 36 now and just got my first natural period 2 days ago. I still wonder what exactly is going on with me to have such a slowly maturing body. I just wanted to ask if any of you have tips for me on how to get over cramps or whatnot. I only had the false periods twice and thus didn't learn much from them. Thanks very much~

Maybe the reason you got your period is that your body produced slightly more estrogen than normal for an unknown reason. You will have to see if it continues next month.

It sounds like you may have a medical condition called delayed puberty, which occurs when the body's hormonal system does not start developing at the usual time. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetic conditions, chronic illnesses, or malnutrition. It's important to continue working with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your delayed puberty and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

As for managing period cramps, there are several things you can try. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help alleviate cramps. You can also try using heat therapy, such as a heating pad or warm bath, to soothe the muscles in your abdomen. Light exercise or stretching can also help relieve cramps. If your cramps are severe or interfering with your daily activities, it's important to talk to your doctor about other treatment options.

In addition to managing cramps, it's important to practice good menstrual hygiene and keeping the area clean to avoid infections. It may also be helpful to keep track of your menstrual cycle and symptoms in a journal or app to better understand your body's patterns and anticipate any discomfort or mood changes that may occur.

Remember, everyone's menstrual cycle and experiences are unique, and it's important to find what works best for you. Don't hesitate to talk to your doctor or a trusted healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions.

It's difficult to say why you may appear to age slower than most or why you had delayed onset of menstruation without a proper medical evaluation. However, it's good to hear that you have had a natural period recently. This suggests that your hormone levels may have improved or normalized, but it's still important to follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure that everything is functioning properly.

As for managing cramps, here are a few tips:

1. Use heat: Applying heat to the affected area can help to relieve cramps. You can use a heating pad or take a warm bath to help ease the pain.
2. Over-the-counter pain relief: Over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help to relieve menstrual cramps.
3. Exercise: Gentle exercise, such as yoga or walking, can help to ease cramps and improve circulation.
4. Relaxation techniques: Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, can help to reduce stress and ease cramps.
5. Dietary changes: Eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to reduce inflammation and ease cramps.

Remember to talk to your healthcare provider if your cramps are severe or interfere with your daily activities. They may be able to recommend additional treatments or medications to help manage your symptoms.
