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 taking an extra birth control pill make your period last longer?
Yes it can make your period arrive one day later than usual
In most women the hymen doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening - often it's nothing more than a narrow cresent shaped piece of tissue on the back of the vaginal opening, thus often at most all that happens is that the tampon gets sutck behind the hymen and it just takes re-angling to remove the tampon.
If the hymen covers a little more of the vaginal opening then yes the expanded tampon may stretch the hymen - the hymen stretching is perfectly normal, it shouldn't cause any pain and doesn't mean anything.
What does it mean if your 12 and you got your period for the first time and its brown and poop like?
It probably means that your period was very light and thus didn't come all the way out. That gave it time to get old, and old blood turns brownish and thickens.
How do you get rid of an eggy vaginal odor?
The advice I would give you is to go and see your doctor as an "eggy" smelling vagina doesn't sound too good to me and you may need a few simple tests which your doctor can do for you in order to see why your vagina is producing this smell.
The questions you need to ask yourself are:
* Do I wash often?
* Have I had unprotected sex with someone who is not a long term partner?
* Do I use anything to wash with that could make me smell this way?
Please contact your doctor as you need to see what this smell is
I hope this helps

What is best tampons or towels?
That comes down to personal choice, but generally speaking it's best to avoid commercial brands like Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, Always, etc. as these are made from synthetics and chemically treated - thus more likely to cause irritation, bad odour, vaginal infection, and toxic shock syndrome from tampons.
Cloth pads are the best option, all-in-one pads like Party In My Pants Pads are more comfortable but some people prefer insert style like Lunapads or Gladrags to add extra layers if needed. If you'd prefer disposable pads then organic brands like Cottons, Natracare, Emerita, or Maxim are best.
Tampons always pose risk so it's worth looking at safer options like menstrual cups or softcups. If using tampons you can use reusable sponge tampons like Sea Pearls which are more comfortable than disposable tampons, but if you want to use disposable tampons then use organic brands listed above.
Is it normal for you to have your period twice a month and it has always been like that?

What is the difference between menstrual cramps and PMS?
Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, are painful sensations in the lower abdomen that occur during menstruation, caused by uterine contractions. PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, involves a range of physical and emotional symptoms, such as mood swings, bloating, and fatigue, that occur in the days leading up to menstruation. While both are related to the menstrual cycle, cramps are specifically associated with the period itself, whereas PMS occurs before it starts.
Why does the urine turn reddish in females?
Red urine in females is a urinary tract infection. See a doctor. If this happens after treatment, get your sexual partner treated too.
Rubbery tissue with menstruation?
I was just seen by a Gynecologist for the same problem. I am 29 years old and have lived with endometriosis since a tennager. I always have painful periods and pass a lot of blood clots during my cycle. Duiring this period I passed a piece of tissue the same as you described. I was told that it was a piece of the lining of my uterus. Sometime it thickens and the body expels it. It is nothing to be concerned about unless you have debilitating cramps and bright red bleeding. I was just seen by a Gynecologist for the same problem.

I have had the same issue. I have officially hit 1 week since my period was suppose to start. My gynecologist stated it could be due to my increase of exercise, because testosterone builds up and estrogen is lower, so a woman will miss her period. I quit exercising in hopes of bringing my period back. No luck yet :(
My question is similar. Should I continue exercising, since I want to have exercise in my daily routine, but will it continue to keep my period at bay? Or will my estrogen catch up to my testosterone levels of exercise?
Why do you get constipation before menstruation?
The following information is quoted from: http://www.asiaone.com/Just%2BWoman/About%2BMe/Well%2BBeing/Story/A1Story20080926-90128.html During the menstrual cycle, the body goes through certain hormonal changes. There is a surge of progesterone just before the onset of menstruation and the progesterone level falls when the menstrual flow starts. Progesterone causes delayed gastrointestinal transit time, meaning that it slows down the gut and hence aggravates constipation. With the fall in progesterone, there is an increase in bowel activity, which is why your constipation goes away with the start of the menses. Constipation can be due to various causes. One of the key causes to exclude would be that of colorectal cancer. Other causes could be hypothyroidism (hormonal imbalance), electrolyte imbalance, certain medications, slow colonic transit (a slow-moving colon) or pelvic outlet obstruction (incoordination of muscles involved in defaecation). Simple measures to try to help the constipation can include increasing fluid intake, increasing fibre intake and exercising. Should the constipation still persist, it would be better to see a doctor to help you sort out this problem. Dr Aileen Seah
Can your partner feel if you have a menstrual cup?
Menstrual cups are a bell-shaped reusable cup, normally made from silicone - these are not meant to be used during sexual activity, although if fingering orreceiving oral sex your partner will be able to feel the cup. If you mean softcups rather than menstrual cups, some partners can feel if you're wearing a softcup during sex, some can't - depends on your anatomy and his.

Thanks for answer, as I said though I was 21 before i had my first ever period...I have type 1 diabetes, don't know whether that affected it in anyway...i went through puberty in all other respects at the usual age 11 + ... I've also read primary amenorrhoea can be caused by stress, and i know i went through a period of this before starting menstruation
14 days? Menstruation is only suppose to last for not more than 10 days. If it goes beyond that you should go see a doctor. So NO its not normal.
Why is my tampon bending when i insert it?
maybe your not doing it right... try to relax and sit down on your toilet and try to insert it at an angle. Most women don't know where their vaginal opening is so when your not on your period try going to a mirror and see where it is or try to visualize it. Maybe use your fingers to navigate yourself thru and next time when your on your period since you were discovering your body and know where all these parts are at it will be easier to insert.
Does really bad cramps along with body stiffness and a missed period indicate pregnancy?
It could indicate pregnancy or it could also be a sign that you are stressed out. Some women, speaking from personal experience, have missed their period due to stress. Stress can cause you to miss your period and put a strain on your muscles causing them to be stiff. Just to be safe I would advise you to make an appointment with your local gynocologist and get a pap smear and a pregnancy test done.... I am concerned that you are having really bad cramps, especially if you don't usually have bad cramps during your menstrual cycle. Not to scare you but severe cramping could be a sign of a more serious condition so to be safe consult your gyno doctor. I hope this helps you.
What did Pioneer women use for personal hygiene when on their menstrual cycle?
Cloth Rags, Women would have a belt around their waist, and long rags were tied to the belt device in the front, thru the legs and tied on the belt in the back. Extra cloth was put in the middle. I am not sure of the material of the belt, could of been cloth.
