Watching this at 5am because I woke up due to my period. I woke up in pain and after one and a half hour sitting on the toilet i can finally rest again…. Watching this just gives me so much relieve. I‘m also relieved that I‘m finally getting to see a doctor (gynaecologist) in september. My Menstruation is not normal in my opinion. I have too much pain… I can‘t do anything… A painkiller helps for sure (after 1h waiting) But I still have this heat when I do anything. I can‘t walk 5m without feeling that heat and exhaustion. I have often have circulation problems so I could faint easily. I can‘t do normal activities! It definitely it affects my daily routine (work, studying) I definitely can‘t do exercises….. even if my pain gets relieved with a painkiller- In my opinion, it‘s not normal to a human of needing a painkiller to survive this extreme pain because of the menstruation. I take 600mg (Ibu) painkiller XD Anyway….I go sleeping now again….

Hello Mrs Sudeshna. When you say normal is 2 fully soaked pads twice a day,did you mean 4 fully soaked pads per day for 2 consecutive days?

[@dipalidalvi1357]

Mam, thank you for sharing this information. I had doubt on my periods as flow is very less. It's just for one day & other day my mood gets change. My tummy get blogging before periods. Blood flow gets very darker & it's like blood clotted. Please guide me if anything wrong in this or what can be done to improve this. I already visited gynaecologist regarding this, but he said there's no any issue. Sometimes menopause gets early. My age is 39. Plz guide me.

[@yoonah9076]

As I am studying this topic so I am able to answer your question. These are the symptoms of menopause:- Irregular menstrual cycles Heavy bleeding might occur for a day or two Excessive sweating during night Hot flashes Vaginal dryness, itching and pain during sexual intercourse Frequent urinary tract infections Mood swings Fatigue Weight gain due to uneven fat distribution It's true that menopause can occur early and Its fine. But if your still want to cure this try practicing yoga, stay hydrated and most importantly eat healthy. Thank you I hope you got your answer!!!!!!!!!

If periods comes in 23 days , then really it s normal? .Is n'T it short cycle

[@Lilac_Pearl]

Good info... But I cringed at the terminology used for a women's reproductive years when she referred to it as "reproductive career". Like... What? 😅

[@sudeshnaray8273]

Hi Pearl. I definitely owe you an explanation for this. First of all sorry for using a language that's common among the medical fraternity. This is a term we gynecologists often use in our articles and write ups to refer to the menstrual and fertility phase of a woman's life. The word 'career' can be used to sync it with any relevant phases of life replacing the word 'life' like One's Financial career/ professional career etc. We use it just to demark another phase so that it becomes easier for us to talk about the challenges and solutions of the reproductive career of a woman This is largely used within our professional fraternity. Please consider it as something synonymous to 'Reproductive phase'

is it right or a myth that we should not bathe during periods plz reply

[@deeptimayeerath1671]

This is a myth dear, if u don't want to take bath for 2 days ( only Or alternate days), then it's ok not a big deal if your skin type is not excessively oily. U can also take a bath without soap n with scrubing smoothly. Moral : bathe during periods is very casual. 😌

It's just a myth, you should actually bath everyday especially during menstruation cuz cleanliness is a must in genetal area

[@pusaeic]

help. im 15 (this is my 3-4th year having periods) and im having one of the most painful and intense menstral cycles. my mom said its normal, but i filled up about 5-6 pads today alone (the most recent took only about 30 minutes to fill completely), and i took a bath (it was like 1 hour and the whole tub was pink and the floor had several clots). my cramps are so intense that not even midol is relieving the pain. im feeling fatigued, but i just talked to my mom and she told me not to freak myself out and im really freaking out. what should i do?

[@yoonah9076]

As the level of prostaglandins increase, symptoms like cramps and heavy bleeding pops up. Try having ginger tea. Stay Hydrated. Practice Yoga. I am studying Gynaecology so you could believe me.

[@vaishnavisingh5491]

hey, I am 20 years old.... and what you are facing currently is exactly what I have faced during my teenage years... I've also had a the most painful and intense menstrual cycles.... and there was a time when I too used to fill around 4-5 pads a day... if I take you back from the very starting months of my period journey.... I started my periods quite late in my life... like I was already 14 years old by the time I got my first period, and I used to bleed twice or thrice a 'YEAR'.... and this continued till the time I was 18 or something...... and then after I crossed 18 my period cycle slowly got reduced to 3-4 months...... with the same amount of pain but the flow gradually started to become a little less during those 4 years....... and by the time I became 19 years old my cycle got reduced to 2-3 months.... and now I am 20 years old, and my periods are regular, but there are still sometimes when my period gets delayed by 5-10 days or occurs early by 5-10 days, and I still miss my periods sometimes.... so, you see that every 6 out of 10 women these days face such issues, and it is because of our food habits, or lack of physical exercise, or stress.... You don't need to worry about your periods till the time you cross your teenage years...... because right now there are a lot of changes happening to your body... so the hormones usually get disturbed very easily during teenage years... these are your days to enjoy and not to stress on these things... and remember the more you stress the more negative impact it will have on your periods ......

[@yoonah9076]

@@varshabharadwaj6483 See the problem you are facing is called scanty periods. This is one of the most common reasons for having a 3 day period. Being overweight or underweight Many people don’t know that maintaining a healthy weight is very important and even more are not aware of the fact that weight can be the reason behind irregular menstruation or even short periods. Period is lighter because of these possible reasons :- You’ve lost or gained a ton of weight. Stress is messing with your body. You have an overactive thyroid. You’re using hormonal birth control. Talking about if it's normal or not so If some tissue temporarily blocks the flow out the cervix, it may result in light flow, followed by heavier flow when it passes. This may also create the start, stop, start again pattern. Generally, day-to-day variations in flow are considered normal if your period lasts around 3 to 7 days. I hope you got your answer!!!!😇

[@anjaligupta2826]

I used to have normal period for 4-5 days mostly but recent a few months I noticed it gets less and now it's 2 day flow.

It's normal for a period to not come for until an year after you get it for the first time. I didn't get my periods for 3 months, my mother for almost 11 months after the first period. From the second period, it comes monthly though. Btw, did you say your period lasted from 26th Apr to 7th May? You were not sure about the dates.. It is better to note down the start and the end days, bcz if it lasts for more than a week, it's not good. PS: I'm not a doctor, so if you are worried you better consult one.
