Women's Periods Dont Hurt

Shane-KornSpace

New studies suggest that cramping due to the female mentrual cycle is nothing more than a "placebo-like effect".
Prof. Robert Austin from the Department of Biology in The Boston College, Boston, MA. may be about to single-handedly put an end to the popular complaint women have during their monthly menstrual cycle.

The common conception (no pun-intended) women have regarding their cramps is that It could be because you have higher levels of prostaglandins which make the muscles in your womb (uterus) contract harder or faster. Or because the blood supply to your womb (uterus) decreases during the contractions so there's less oxygen reaching this part of your body, making the muscles cramp even more.

During the three-year-long study, however (to be published in next month's Health Journal)Prof. Austin apparently discovered a mysterious unknown hormone which is now being linked to having a "placebo-like-effect" on the brain.
Which means that women are not actually experiencing pain and discomfort, rather they are experiencing the placebo effect. They "feel" pain because they believe that pain is to be expected with their period.

Prof. Austin will be releasing his new found results next month. This will once and for all end men's monthly missery.

Must be a pretty good placebo effect to bring me to the point of almost fainting on more than one occasion.

TheLastMohican

Just as I suspected. The basis of the word hysterical explains all

Shane-KornSpace

Ah yeah but everybody knows that women will be quite biased when it comes to this kind of research.

I would love to see Prof. Austin explain this to my ladyfriend.

Ave Sodalis

Punch him in the stomach and tell him he's not really experiencing pain, he's just imagining it...

I dunno about others but my cramps can happen at any time up to and during my period. I don't just go, "oh, I've my period! Must start cramping now..."

In my experience it hurts both women and their partners.

Of course not dear. That's why it's psychological

Oh good god.

Eh, yeah, sure Robert, whatever you say.

Only if it is that time of the month

Son Of A Vidic

So Prof. Robert Austin claims a woman's period pain doesn't exist. What next? Will Mrs Austin claim that men's 'morn horn' is only an illusion?

Tell that to my ovarian cysts. :rolleyes:


Even if it's just the stress or whatever causing the muscles to contract faster, that in turn causes pain so either way, it hurts.

You should all read the last line, there.

Ella

Yeah it's all an act. I dont get cramps so bad i want to die. The pain in my lower back is also put on. I do it all for attention.

The feeling that someone is using my ovaries as a stress ball is totally in my head. And sure i stick fake spots on my face at that time of the month too just for the craic.

pinkpetal

His findings are bollox.

Damn, learns me for reading too fast.

Whoops, just read the last line.

I guess that shows just how many of us read the first part and saw red (no pun intended).

I really like this line. Lol

Bipolar Joe

Prof. Joe, of Boards University, is going to conduct a study about how more than 97% of AH users don't fully read any post, and that more than 89% do not know Google exists.

The only way you're getting of of being branded a troll is by PMing me a link to this "study"
