Rinnei again came with teary eyes and maksheet in her hand. She went to her mom and said emphatically, " I want to become a boy. I dont like this. If exams would have conducted on different dates I would have scored more, infact I would topped in the exams. just because of this female thing I couldn't make it."


Rinnei's mom tried to console her by saying not to worry. By staring at marksheet she replied the she had scored very well. "No mama I lost the 1st position just by 2 marks & all this only and only because of cramps. If I was a boy it wouldn't happened to me n would have score more." She Replied. 


She Further went on crying, "Not only this mama, since this crampy periods has started I cannot even enjoy life as per my wish, everytime I need to check the dates and plan accordingly. My school doesn't ask me when is your period. I don't want all these. I am Fed up of this."


Rennies mother Radha tried to console her. When she was unconsolable, she made her favourite Pizza.


In the evening Rinne continued, "Mom, it was my test exams , but what if I get periods on my final exams and what if i couldn't write paper, I will fail, I wonder how do other girls manage?" 


After listening this Radha decided to take her to Family doctor for counselling.

Rinnei's food habits were not at all good. As she was the sole child of Radha, all her demands were fullfilled. It was the same during menses.

The doctor also advised excercise with a lot of emphasis on yogasana. She was advised fomantation with hot water bag in case of pain. As well as that doctor prescribed some medicines to stop the pain immediately in case it arises.

Rinnie giving it another thought felt that medicine the best solution for pain than exercise and wondered how her diet gonna treat her cramps ?




This kind of chill pill is the solution people usually look at.
