Period Pain Nobody Believes

This investigative series exposes the quiet harm women face when their period pain is dismissed in hospitals and inside their own families. Through interviews, case files, clinical insights, and lived accounts, the story traces how disbelief becomes a system. It follows women who ask for help and are told their suffering is normal. It examines the roots of this silence, the delays in diagnosis, and the cost of being unheard. The series pushes toward a single conclusion. Severe period pain is not weakness. It is a signal. And the failure to recognize it shapes years of avoidable damage.
