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.

How do you wear wispher napkins?

You will need to remove the pad from its pouch and remove the paper backing from the back of the pad. Then place the pad in the crotch of your panties between your legs, making sure that the adhesive is secure. Then just pull your panities back on.

Whisper napkins are worn in the underpants. You want it centered between your legs and remove the paper strip to adhere the tape strip to the panty to prevent shifting. Change every 4 hours.

If you had your period early n skipped the sugar pills n went right into the next pack will it stop your period?

I'm going through that myself, bottom line, according to my ob/gyn it all depends on when your body stops having enough progesterone to keep your period from happening. Then it would be 3-4 weeks after you started a pack of pills regularly again.

How should you tell your mum you have your period?

Can being a vegetarian affect your menstrual cycle?

The consumption of soy can change your mentral period. It has a natural form of estrogen in it and just 2 cups a day is like taking birth control pills. Soy can actually change your memstral cycle.

Also, I have been told, read and experienced that if you have a change in diet or excercise (meaning a sudden increase in excercise) that can cause your period to be late. It happened to me twice. I was a week late both times, but not pregnant.

Can being anemic cause a late period or no period?

I read on a website that yes...this can make you miss your period. This causes your body not to get enough oxygen and inturn when the time of the month comes you don`t get your period. Good luck!!

Does your discharge get heavier before your first period?

Yes, discharge does normally get thicker closer to menstruation...but you're unlikely to see the changes at first, it takes time to recognise how your body changes leading up to menstruation. Typically 2-3 weeks beforehand you will get a clear stretchy dishcarge like eggwhite, then 1-2 weeks beforehand discharge will get heavier and white like lotion.

Your breasts may be tender starting normally 1 week before menstruation usually ending within one to two days after beginning. This is what my female patients have told me.

How can you do pe when your on your period?

You can do PE on your period just the same as any other time of your cycle, just make sure to use the right sanitary protection to prevent leaking.

When active you may want to avoid pads, if you still want to use external sanitary products rather than pads try period panties such as Lunapanties which are underwear with pads built-in - they give the same protection as pads but you can't see any wings under your shorts and they move with you so won't bunch-up like pads.

If you're comfortable using internal sanitary products you can use tampons, sponges, softcups or menstrual cups - menstrual cups are best as they're safer than tampons, this means they can be worn for 12 hours with any flow so more convneient and safe to use with light flow. Menstrual cups are best when active as they don't add to cramps as tampons can, and they don't leak like other options so better when active.

What does it mean when you miss a period one month then the next month you get it twice and there was only two week interval?

Can you get your period at 8 years old?

It can happen. It mainly depends on the individual's system. I started my period when I was 10 years. The main worry is that starting this early can result in irregular periods(at least mine did). My pediatrician put me on birth control pills to regulate my cycles. While it might be rare to start menstruating at the age of 8, it's not entirely impossible.

Pictures of how to use a tampon?

We can't post pictures of tampon instructions on this site - no option to include pictures.

Tampon packages have diagrams on how to use tampons included, although ideally don't use tampons if you don't already have an idea how to do it - it's not rocket science. You can also use Google to do an image search for inserting tampons, whatever type of tampons you're curious about.

Can you put a tampon in the wrong hole?

Not possible, unless the person inserting the item deliberately does it, has absolutely no feeling in the nether regions or somebody else is doing the inserting and has no knowledge of what the item is used for. It is not a butt plug.

It would be extremely difficult. You have three holes, the anus (the ***hole), the vagina, and the urethra (the hole you pee from.) The urethra is really small, so it wouldn't fit, and it would hurt A LOT putting it in the anus, and it would be hard to do.

When your periods have odder?

You should get your period about once a month, but every girlis different. In your first year of having your period, it will be very irregular, but will start to settle into a pattern during the second year.
