Do African women have monthly periods?
Yes beucause every woman in the world gets a period every month beacause all women have eggs in their body if the egg does not get fertilized by male sperm it will break down and bleed and the only way to get rid of the blood is by letting it drip down through the vagina we all have eggs to make babies.
What is the right age to wear a tampon?
There is no correct age to start using tampons, you don't have to use tampons at all.
Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens as even if responsible enough to follow precautions to reduce risks, with lower immunity and more delicate vaginal tissues risks of TSS are far higher in younger women. At very least a woman should wait six cycles before attempting to use tampons so she knows her flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency to use safely.
It's recommended women start with pads, if they want to use internal options it's best to consider safer options such as menstrual cups or softcups, which are more convenient than tampons as well.
If you're 10 how do you know when you're getting your first period?
Most girls get their period around the same time their mother does. You may also find a small amount of clear to white discharge on your underwear about six months before your period. When you hit puberty you should probably start carrying pads around in your backpack or in your bag for summer camp in case you get it unexpectedly. No worries, when it comes it will come just like everyone else.

Truly, the birth control pill doesn't regulate a period. It replaces your natural cycle with its own cycle of no bleeding and bleeding. Unless something else in your body changes, you are likely to return to your previous menstrual pattern once you go off the pill.
That said, you may have irregular, unscheduled bleeding in your first three months on the pill. After that, you should settle into a more predictable pattern. Some women think the pill will guarantee that their period always arrives on, say, every fourth Tuesday. That may happen, but it's not likely to be thatregular.
If after three months you're still experiencing breakthrough bleeding, or if it's troublesome in the first three months, contact your health care provider to discuss the possibility of changing to a pill with a different hormone profile.
What if a virgin misses her period and still has cravings and before symptoms?
When girls first get their period it is common to miss it sometimes. Even when females get older they can still miss their period, but still feel the symptoms of a period. If you continually miss your period month after month you should consult your doctor.
On a personal note I miss my periods some months.I always have since I started menstrual cycle. I still, unfortunately, get the symptoms. My gynecologist told me I need to come and see her if I miss my period for six months in a row. If I were you, I would monitor my period and if I miss it again go and see my doctor. Every female is different and you wan to make sure you get the proper diagnosis from your doctor. Generally speaking it is not uncommon, especially for females just starting their periods for the first time, to miss a period here and there.
I am 21 and my period has stopped for a little over a year what could be the cause?
Your done with your menstrual period.
It is very well possible that you were dehydrated the day that you were thin. And/or you we're waterbloated the other day. Take care of your water and salt intake.
At this early in the game you cannot know for sure if you are having a miscarriage unless you have had a positive preg test. Many women experience miscarriages early but they don't realise it because they put it down to a "heavy period". It is quite possible you are having a miscarriage, but there would be nothing a doctor could do. Take it easy, take some pain tablets and good luck.
How long does it take to get your period after having a baby?
Unless you are nursing your period will return in six weeks.
What fruit can you eat to start you mentstral period?
When I need mine to start sooner I always eat dates and pineapple and it starts a few days before usual. Sometimes I'll drink green tea and put on a heating pad too.
Is the whole tampon supposed to go in?
Yes, the whole tampon is supposed to go into your vagina.
You can't leave some of the tampon hanging out, apart from the fact that it'd not be able to do the job properly if not inserted correctly but it'd be very uncomfortable. When inserted fully you can't feel the tampon, although if you're using tampons with a string that should still be outside your body.
Is it normal for a girl to start her period before she has breast development?
your body doesn't work in sync so it's very possible for that to happen to you.......... just like you can haveacnebefire you are a teen or even after when your like 20
Is it true that when you swim and you have a your period blood won't come out?
No, that's not true.
There is nothing about being in water that can stop menstruation, if your flow is light then what little blood leaves your body may be diluted so go unnoticed, however if your flow is heavier both the blood and uterine tissue will be noticed in the water.
To swim during your period you should use one of the following;
- Tampons
- Soft tampons
- Sponges
- Diaphragms
- Softcups
- Menstrual cups
Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safer and more hygienic than tampons so there is no risk of TSS or vaginal infections, also for swimming menstrual cups are best because unlike tampons they can be worn even with very light flow, they don't increase cramps, they don't absorb water, nothing shows outside of the body, and as menstrual cups hold more plus have light suction they don't leak like tampons or other options.
