i get some discomfort especially during the first 2 or 3 days, but it's not too bad would you say that your periods are quite light, average or heavy

i would say they are about moderate, doctor

yes, that's right, although if there are any abnormalities on any of the smear tests you must /should/ come back more regularly than that. do you have any pain or swelling you've noticed in your breasts

well, i don't have any lumps, doctor, but i've sometimes notice that they get a bit sore, especially just before my period. also, sometimes they feel a bit /little/ lumpy, but when i check them a few weeks later they all seem to have gone away.

3-2-A

D: what seems to be the problem?

P: over the last a few months, my periods have been getting terribly painful.

D: is this a new thing?

P: my abdomen is alwasys a little bit sore in the first couple of days, but over the last few weeks, i have been getting really sore.i have been getting this terrible crampy feeling in my tummy /stomach/ and some back ache as well. it's been coming on before the bleeding begins / it starts before the bleeding/ and it's been so bad that i had to have some days off from work over the last few months. i've also got another problem, i get so up-tight just before my periods. i feel as though i could murder everyone.

D: that sounds typical of PMT/PMS/- pre-menstrual tension. it's difficult to treat but some people are helped by vitamin B12 or evening primrose oil. there are some self-help groups that you could join, the receptionist will give you a pamphlet if you ask her.

3-2-B

D: what seems to be the problem?

P: my periods used to be quite/fairly/ light, doctor, but they seem to have been getting much heavier recently.
