Menstruation
Menstruation is the routine discharge, or release, of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus. This process occurs about once a month from the time a female reaches puberty until menopause. During pregnancy, the monthly menstrual cycle is absent while the womb nourishes the growing fetus.

Can you make yourself start your period?
Many people have said that drinking Lipton's green tea for a couple of days started there period. Im trying right now and ill let you know if it works. If you search google there are many links that say Green tea or Red Raspberry tea or Persely tea. Mostly green tea. If it says anything about inserting things to ur vagina dont even think about it. Don't stress or excersize too much cause this will delay it.
Okaay so its green tea i will try this out but if it doesnt work i will cry ! s :)
How old do you have to be to buy a tampon?
There is no specific age to wear a tampon.
Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens as with more delicate vaginal tissues and lower immunity to TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) younger women are at higher risk. If you do use tampons you have to be mature enough to understand the risks to make an informed choice to use tampons over other options like sanitary pads or menstrual cups, you also have to be responsible enough to follow precautions to reduce your risks.
It's recommended that a woman waits at least six cycles before starting to use tampons, this is because it takes time for the menstrual flow to get into a pattern and for a woman to know her menstrual flow pattern to know what absorbency to use safely.
What could cause a change in the color of your period?
You say you have been told that you have a hormone 'imbalance'. Your hormones control your periods and so they are also likely to be 'Imbalanced'.
Brownish discolouration often happens when your periods are irregular, so don't worry. In fact most people have a wide range of 'normal colourations'. Any irregularities will settle down once you are regularly taking the 'pill'.
If you are still concerned, do something about it. Consult a GOOD Alternative Health Practitioner, who may be able to detect any more General Imbalances in your Whole Body and Mind, and help you to take better care of yourself. In addition, Fuyan pill is a herb formulation to cure irregular period issues.
Where is your cervix located right before your period?
Your cervix should be low and firm. During ovulation with cervical musus the cervix is high and open and wet. After ovulation it is firm, low, and closed. If you are pregnant it will be high, soft, and closed.
The whole process is about 28 days but in between periods it is about (depending on the woman or girl) 21-27 days of not being on a period
If you have your period, yes. If you don't then it is a reason for concern. See your doctor for a physical exam and more info.
This is a personal question and could have many answers. If your reference is general then the correct tense would be - Why do some periods come early? 1) Could be you're have inconsistent timings 2) You're body might be adjusting it's time of the month because you're adjusting to new changes - or just your body is getting ready for a new change. 3) If you are more advanced in life, then you might be stopping. Once again, the tense is personal.
What if your tampon is stuck and you are soaked but you still cant get it out?
Your tampon is in your vagina and does not need to be removed for you to urinate. Once you do go, your bladder will be less full and the tampon will probably be easily removed.
If several hours go by without being able to remove the tampon (are you certain one is in there?), then a doctor visit is in order.
Why do you get a backache when you get your period?
- A lot of women get lower back pain during their period and don't have endometriosis. During menstruation, the womb has to contract in order for the uterus lining to be pushed out of the vagina (similar to, but not as severe as, labour contractions). Because certain muscles are being used more strenuously during your period than usual, they tend to cramp (like you'd get cramp if you did a workout and didn't stretch properly beforehand). This is what causes period pains. Muscle and tissue etc is connected, so cramping in these muscles can sometimes cause cramp in lower back muscles/tissue. The pain is most probably caused by this; your body working a little harder to expel the uneeded lining. Who'd be a woman, aye? As it's usually cramp, the best way to relieve the aches and pains is to do some light exercise. Just a gentle walk can ease pain, if you can manage it. If not, just take painkillers, relax, and try and breathe through the worst of it.
- Oh, well, I got lower back pain from my period because I had endometriosis and also because I walked hunched over during my period because it hurt more to stand up straight. Why you get lower back pain might be different but there is a good chance that it is the same reason. If you are in good shape, sit up straight and have no other reason for back pain give your GYN a call. Endometriosis often goes unnoticed for years because so many women have mild symptoms or none or ignore the ones they do have. But, it is the number one cause of infertility in women. It can be a serious health problem. It might just be that you are more sensitive to pain or some other non-issue but it could be the sign of a real health problem.
How soon after a period can you get period?
When a woman is fertile during her menstrual cycle depends on her menstrual cycle - everyone is different, she'd only know when she was fertile if she was to use FAM. During a typical 28 day cycle she would ovulate on day 14, so be fertile around days 7-16 of her cycle.
Can you wear a tampon while bathing?
No, there's no need to use tampons in the shower (and don't use tampons when not menstruating).
You can shower while using internal menstrual products like tampons, sponges, menstrual cups, or softcups if you want to avoid blood coming out during showering and after when you get out of the shower. It is perfectly okay to shower without wearing internal menstrual products though, just rinse off at the end of your shower and have a pad ready for once you get out the shower - if you get blood on the towel rinse in cold water and then soak before washing as normal.
Yes, one may still get pregnant the week before menstruation.
Is it possible to get pregnant 6 days before menstruation?
The menstrual cycle refers to a woman's entire reproductive cycle - including ovulation and menstruation - thus a woman is able to get pregnant during her menstrual cycle. A woman will typically only be fertile for around 9 days of her cycle: ovulation, and around a week beforehand.
A woman cannot get pregnant during menstruation - however she may conceive as a result of sex on her period. Although there is no egg present during menstruation there may be fertile cervical mucus present so the sperm may live long enough to fertilize an egg if she ovulates directly after menstruation.
How do you calm the ache when menstruation?
Walking,exercising, warm blanket on the belly but if it's really bad we use Naproxen. It's a muscle relaxer and make it go, and stay, away.
How long does the menstruation process take?
Its differnat for everybody.
some people a couple weeks some 5-7 days. Your first period somtimes might be a little long/short than usall but your second/third time should be the right amount. example-if you have had 5 periods so far and you 4th and 5th have been around the same amount of time than thats ussaly how long most of them will last. each period is around one month apart. if they stop for longer than that you should see a doctor.

How do you heal pimple in pubic area?

No, menstruation is particular to mammals
Fish do not have menstrual cycles, but they have breeding cycles and they lay externally fertilized eggs.
Can implantation happen 2 days before your period?
That is not so most of the time. You normally get the periods after 14 days after the ovulation. It may be possible in rare case. It is more than common to have periods even after the implantation of the fertilized ovum. Most of the time the product of conception is genetically abnormal. That is the nature's defence against the birth of abnormal babies. At times there is hormonal imbalance.
Relax an push. If that doesn't work go to the doctors.
If you "lost" the string somehow, you're just going to have to put your fingers inside and pull it out. It's not really stuck because there is no where for it to go except the vagina.
go see a doctor
Hi, This could be pregnancy bleeding but it sounds more like irregular period bleeding. Do a test.
You start the new packet of pills the day after you take the last sugar pill, no waiting or delays - the bad thing about skipping a week is the very real possibility of pregnancy since a week of sugar pills followed by skipping another week of active pills means you may very likely ovulate before starting the new packet of pills.
You need to use back up (like condoms) until you have taken 7 active pills over 7 days to prevent pregnancy, if you start a new packet even 1 or 2 days late.
Hello. I am really not certain what this could be. If you have had unprotected sex within the last 2-3 weeks then I would rule out pregnancy. Once pregnancy has been ruled out then it is most likely a strange and unusual period for you as this does sometimes happen for no medical reason.
it is a huge pancake with a lot of golden syrup on top XD
