Everything Period

During your periods, you go to the bathroom and experience an odd and unpleasant odour, and as your menstrual cycle ends, the odour also vanishes. Ever wondered what this really is?

When periods enter your life for the first time, it’s entirely normal for you to be clueless about a lot of things. However, as months go by, it becomes imperative for you to learn more about them so that you can better manage those few days.

One would think that those monthly period cycles and the symptoms of periods that come as a bonus would eventually become just another part of a woman’s life!

The first thing to know about vaginal discharge is that every woman experiences it, and it really isn’t a big deal. In fact, it’s actually a good thing…

Between the ages of 10 to 14, your body suddenly decides it’s time to grow up! This natural spurt of growth seems unnaturally fast at that point, but is just in line with your expected physical development, required at that age. By this, we mean that puberty in girls is a natural change and you need not worry about it!

A tampon is another way to deal with your period. It’s a form of menstrual protection made of cotton or rayon which is inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual fluid during your period...

It’s a strange term, but a “sanitary napkin” or “sanitary pad” just means an absorbent pad that you wear on your panties during your period in order to absorb menstrual blood...

Like most things, it depends. Just so you know it may seem like you bleed a lot during your period, but most girls normally lose between 7 and 10 teaspoons of blood during an average period, which really isn’t a lot...

Exercise with peace of mind when you’re on your period.

Do you suffer from night sweats during your period? It is totally normal and nothing to worry about.

Once puberty has started, your first period is not far behind. It’s going to be okay—it’s just one part of your monthly cycle.

Experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding or blood clots? Learn about why this might be happening and how much bleeding is considered a heavy period.

Experiencing period pain due to cramps is not uncommon. Learn how to ease the pain and how things such as iron deficiency can make your cramps worse.

Before your periods start you might see some small amounts of blood. These spots of blood are the spotting before periods, which is a common occurrence.

It is quite natural that your menstrual flow changes due to fluctuating hormone levels. In fact, there are many factors that influence how light or heavy your period is.

Tampons should be disposed of in the household waste. Many women dispose of their tampons by wrapping them in toilet paper and throwing them in the residual waste.

Simply pull the string at the same angle at which the tampon was inserted. Check on removal that the tampon is intact.
