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.

Your cramps can last a few days to a week. To help your self stay off of sugar, salty foods, quit the junk food and soft drinks. These things make PMS worse and the cramps worse.

What is brown stuff on your underwear after a week of being off period?
Its probably not from your period, its just probably poop stains. You probably don't wipe yourself good. :) I got it too. If it smells like nothing, then its dried blood before you get your real period. If it smells of poop, then it is poop!
It is normally called "pre- menstrual shedding". Getting it for a whole month at a time is not uncommon. It just means you have a build- up. if your period comes and goes with no problems then it is fine. If it doesn't then I would ask a doctor. Good Luck!
AnswerSpotting browm blood is a little unnormal. I've had that same problem and went to the doctor, turned out I was 8 weeks pregnant. I was having an ectopical pregnancy. I had surgery to remove the fetus immediately. See your local doctor soon.How do you know your period is due?
Count 28 days from the day that you started last month. It is ok for you to be a day or 2 late every few months. Also the breast get sore, face breaks out, swolen stomic, some foods make you not want to eat at all.

Your menstrual cycle ranges from 3- 8 days. You can count from the beginning of your cycle to the end it will equal 28 days
Can going off the pill mess up my period?
If it is a 'Hormonal Method' (ie: pills, patch, shot, ring or implant) it will most likely effect your cycle. What normally happens, however, is unique to each woman. May not bleed for days/weeks/months. May bleed immediately. May be heavy/spotty. Short/long. Everyone is different.
Can you run when you have your period?
Yes, an increase in exercise can cause your periods to stop. If you are sexually active you should take a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant but otherwise you can relax if you have increased your level of exercise and your periods stop or decrease dramatically.
How can you get rid of the smell of your period?
The vagina should smell musky but clean - it will change with hormonal changes and when you are aroused, you may also have temporary strong or bad odour due to temporary imbalances in vaginal flora such as after sex or when you need to have a shower.
When you do shower or bathe use water only - DO NOT use soaps, washes, wipes, sprays, douches, or even so-called feminine washes - your vagina is self-cleaning so all you need to stay clean is to wipe your vulva using water, anything chemical can interfere with vaginal pH and soaps kill healthy vaginal flora. Soaps and other cleansing products can also cause irritation and dryness.
If you have a bad vaginal odour which continues for more than a couple of days then you likely have a vaginal infection which would require a visit to your doctor for tests and treatment.
What to drink to clean up menstrual periods?

Are late periods on birth control normal?
i really don't know but i didnt get my period for like 5 monts and it camee soo i think its normal to some people but if u think there is somting going on contact ur doctor hope i heled thanks :)
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - some tampon companies say up to 8 hours to make their products seem more convenient, but this is not safe or hygienic to do regularly. If you leak before the 4-6 hours then it's perfectly okay to remove the tampon sooner. In time you learn what absorbency to use and how often you need to change to avoid any leaking.
Can sex effect your period timing?
Well theoretical no, BUT it happened to me and I thought that something was wrong but it turns out that I was fine. Doctors and just about everyone says that it can't happened but all women are different.

Is there a way to prevent menstrual cramps?
A khichari cleanse with some castor oil at the end made my bad cramps disappear. Keep a clean digestive system, and don't eat cold foods or invert yourself during your period.
There are lots of different ways, and each apply differently to everyone. Try getting a hot water bottle, lying down and placing it on your stomache. Also, paracetamol is good.
I went vegetarian 3 months ago and I haven't had a cramp since. There's a chemical in meat that your kidneys keep trying to get rid of during your period, but if you stop eating meat at least two weeks before you'll definitely see the difference- I guarantee it. The only problem I had is not knowing what to do with my left over box of Midol.
Why do you get yeast infections on your period?
Because your hormones are changing, which affects the pH balance in your vagina. It can also happen because some women have discharge before they have their period every month, so the moisture becomes a perfect place for the yeast to grow. Many women get yeast infections before their period, but some women never get them at all. It just depends on your body.
