Menstrual Pain

Breast tenderness is a common symptom prior to and just during menstruation, typically as a result of irregular hormones. If you normally experience breast tenderness then the best way to attempt to prevent this is to look to your diet: a healthy balanced diet will in turn balance hormones, it can also help to cut out dairy from your diet to see if this helps your symptoms.

1. A regular menstrual cycle (fixed number of days between periods).
2. A cycle between 21 and 35 days (varies between women, but usually constant in a woman).
3. A one-sided lower abdominal pain about 14 days before the next period is expected (ovulation itself).
4. Slippery cervical mucus in the vagina about 14 days before the next period.
5. Appearance of some acne a few days before the next period is expected.
6. Fuller breasts, tender to the touch, a few days before the next period.
7. And, according to one prof in OB-GYN, slightly cramp-y periods.

Yes, if you have been sick, under stress, over exercising ( like training for a marathon) or on an extreme diet these things can delay a period.

* There are several reasons for cramps but it has nothing to do with yeast infection. * Yes, it can be related to yeast infection.

Bleeding from the genita eria usually meens your either on your period or you've recently had sex and the vaginal hymen has been broken.

If your not sexuay active or your period has allready gone past this month, it's possible is dotting and a little more blood id being past throu. It's totaly normal.

If it's after sex but your not a virgin it just meens that the skin wasnt broken propaly before.

If your still worried then contact a doctor, but I'm sure it's one f the above.

Yes, tampons can commonly increase menstrual cramps so if you keep experiencing this you may want to consider other options like pads or cups. Tampons can hit your cervix if it is low, or expand into the cervix as they fill with menstrual flow. Also if the tampon is too low down it may hurt as you sit or move about, so make sure the tampon is far enough in as this may be the cause of pain.

It is most likely a urinary tract infection. Go to your OB/GYN or if you do not have insurance buy some cranberry juice and drink plenty of water and that should clear it right up :)

answer: maybe!

No.

The medical term for menstrual cramps is dysmenorrhea. There are two types of

dysmenorrhea, primary and secondary. Read below in recommended links - "Menstrual Cramps" and "Natural Remedies for Menstrual Cramps".

In primary dysmenorrhea, there is no underlying gynecologic problem causing the pain. This type of cramping may begin within six months to a year following menarche (the beginning of menstruation), the time when a girl starts having menstrual periods. Menstrual cramps typically do not begin until ovulatory menstrual cycles (when an egg is released from the ovaries) occur, and actual menstrual bleeding usually begins before the onset of ovulation. Therefore, an adolescent girl may not experience dysmenorrhea until months to years following the onset of menstruation.

In secondary dysmenorrhea, some underlying abnormal condition (usually involving a

woman's reproductive system) contributes to the menstrual pain. Secondary dysmenorrhea may be evident at menarche but, more often, the condition develops later.

There are several things that you can do. A warm bath is always a good alternative. Try putting Epsom Salts in the bath water, it will help relax the muscles.

- Also try Chelate Magnesium supplement it is a muscle relaxant that has been a miracle to me, I have also been using soda crystals (pure bath salts) to help relax the pain of cramping. It helps with irregular heart issues, sleep problems, digestions and absorption of vitamin C and protein absorption.

A lot of people are lacking in magnesium which causes issues like headaches, cramping, insomnia, malaise and nausea. You can buy it from any chemist.

though, If you really want to solve the problem fast, light up a spliff and wait 5 minutes. It has the longest lasting immediate pain relief effects for this particular case, is cheap and should be legalized for people who suffer all year around with this.

Eat dairy on the regular if you can. A growing body is already stressed with making new body parts, and calcium is key to muscle production. Milk, cranberries cheese and yogurt with live cultures. Don't forget the orange juice! Vitamin C will help your body absorb the calcium better. Even calcium tablets with C and vitamin D are great to slow those cramps. Cheaper however to go for regular walks in fresh air and natural sunshine to get doses of VD, also if you are lactose intolerant there are various substitutes from calcium supplements to berries veg and fruits.

It may also be helpful to assess your bed to make sure it is not messing up your sensitive back.

Exercise! I know that it sounds mean, but the muscles down there need some exercise to become stronger and work more efficiently. You know how your body is when you've done exercise..it hurts. These are new muscles that your body is using and it's unaccustomed to working these organs. Now you have to make those organs stronger so that they can do their job efficiently.

Try this exercise. Lie on your bed and let your body relax. Now put your hand on your lower tummy and push your tummy out. Then make it go down. Put your hand on your lower tummy and push against it. With a little practice, you can do this standing up and no one can see. It's great for the internal organs..and a great side effect is that you won't get constipated.

Sleep with a heating pad. A heating pad provides the muscles with warmth which will make them relax. keeping your hips warm will help the muscles do their job more efficiently, so that they don't have to work at being warm AND doing their job.

Finally, chocolate! There are natural chemicals in chocolate that eases cramps. Women have been auto medicating with chocolate for ages to help with cramps.

- Be careful, chocolate is a known trigger for migraines when consumed during menstrual times and has never helped me with cramps as far as I know unless through the sheer distraction of yumminess. There is no better advice than to visit the G.P and make sure you don't have anything more serious going eh: dysmenorrhoea

I sounds like you have developed some type of infection in your bellybutton. I think I'd go to a doctor about it.

Pamprin, Ibuprofen. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the bottle.

personally if i have menstrual cramps then i do NOT stay at home lying on a bed all day with a hot water bottle feeling sorry for myself... what i do (and it really helps) is i exercise to keep my mind off it. i do ballet, so i would attend ballet class. When i arrive at ballet i have cramps but during class, i realise they GO AWAY!!! also if i take a walk they seem to go, but i find that dancing is the best way to get rid of the cramps...

then theres the other option which is to take medication, but i never have to, because the dancing helps!

hope this works for u!

It is quite common to miss a period and there can be a lot of different reasons for it. Although pregnancy is probably the most common cause of missing a period, there are lots of other causes as well. Some common causes are: Stress, losing or putting on a lot of weight or anything which will cause hormonal changes. However, there are occasionally other more serious causes for a missed period such as STIs or polycystic ovaries syndrome so it is worth getting checked out if none of the other causes such as stress relate to you. If you miss more than one period then you should definitely see your GP.

Yes, many people leave tampons in overnight, it is recommended to change your tampon every 8 hours at the max. Most people don't sleep for that many hours, anyway.

However, there are things to watch out for.

For example, you should stay away from leaving in Super Plus tampons overnight, as this particular size is most susceptible to TSS (Tocix Shock Syndrome), which is very dangerous. You should change your tampon as soon as you wake up; DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE IT OUT.

As long as you are responsible, and change it right before you go to bed and right after you wake up, you can leave it in. If you are uncomfortable, just use pads.
