Jemima Osunde laments as she experiences intense menstrual pains
Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has shared her struggles with severe menstrual pain in a recent online post. In a video, Osunde appeared visibly distressed as she described enduring intense discomfort each month.
The talented actress, known for her striking beauty, opened up about the various symptoms she faces, including severe aches, mood swings, food cravings, midnight snacking, and bloating. She mentioned that her gynecologist is always just a call away, and she relies on medication to manage the pain caused by dysmenorrhea.
Osunde also took the opportunity to remind men of the importance of treating women with care and understanding, given the physical challenges they face on a regular basis.
She wrote extensively on Instagram, “Whether it’s your first one or 100th one, periods are annoying! Point blank PERIOD! Just even the concept of ohhhh I’m bleeding not injured or anything, just bleeding will always be WILD to me! See why you need to treat us with care and consideration
My periods this year decided to do “new year new me” with some symptoms. Recap of my last period:
Bach aches from the pit of hell. I went to buy water at the supermarket and had to borrow the retailers chair for a min cause my back couldn’t take a few minutes of standing.
Mood swings. Omg! The sadness sorry to my friends, I’m so sorry to my friends it’s not me, it’s the hormonessss. Moody, don’t feel like talking with a sprinkle of crying.
Cravings!! Lmao! The way I be craving things and feeling like the world might end if I didn’t eat them
Midnight snacking. You people should just pray for my waist. I woke up last week to drink garri with suya I had in the fridge at 1am. Unprovoked. Sent my friend proof on whatsapp so I can use it as a reminder of my offense.
Bloating!!!! This might be the worst one cause it comes with acid reflux. My abdomen distends so much sometimes it’s like I’m in my second trimester of pregnancy
And then when it’s done, I have 2-3 weeks of sanity (if you’re not counting the wahala that comes with ovulation too) before I have to run it back madness!
Trust me, my gynecologist is on speed dial. I’m on medication for dysmenorrhea so this is me having it “easy”.
