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.

You had your period about two weeks ago and about 5 days ago for the first time ever you are bleeding vaginally Is this normal?

If you had your period 2 weeks ago then that was your fist time. In the beginning it can be irregular and it can take up to 2 years until it is regular.

How do you tell your mom that you have slimmy stuff in your underwear?

If you are male, you are starting puberty, growing up and it is semen or seminal fluid, you may not have sperm quite yet. It's normal and nothing to worry about. It is just your body releasing it because you haven't started masturbating yet.

Female, is probably your ovulation starting which makes the discharge thicker and it will soon be followed by menstruation. This is normal and a part of growing up to be a woman. Tell your mom so she knows and can have pads at home. If you already have your period and the discharge smells bad it may be a yeast infection or similar, nothing too serious and just tell her.

What is the recommended age to start using a tampon?

Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens.

Younger women are at higher risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) which is where TSST-1 toxins produced by bacteria enters the bloodstream leading to something similar to septic shock, younger women are at higher risk as they're less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and their vaginal tissues are more delicate so more prone to be damaged by tampon use which allows toxins into bloodstream.

Tampons pose various health risks and younger women may not be mature enough to understand those risks to make an informed choice about using tampons. With so many other options like menstrual cups and softcups which are more convenient than tampons as well as safer, it seems many young women just want to use tampons because their friends use tampons and this isn't a good basis for making healthcare choices. A woman needs to be mature enough to follow precautions to reduce risks of infections and TSS with tampon use too, often younger women aren't responsible enough for tampon use - you have to make sure you're ready for that responsibility.

How is menstruation different from menopause?

Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle, a process involving ovulation and if conception doesn't occur the uterine lining is shed (menstruation) in preparation for the possibility of conception during the next cycle. Menopause is the process where you come to the end of your reproductive years, it's when ovulation starts to slow down.

How do you get your first period with green tea?

You don't. Green tea will not start you on your period. Hormones do. Ask your mom when she got her first period and most likely that's about the time you will. Don't be in such a hurry because you will have a period for at least 50 years. Your first year of period is also a time that will be off and on. It takes your hormones time to settle down so some months you will have a heavy period and other months nothing much. You may also skip a month. Same thing happens when you go into menopause.

Your period is heavier than normal with pain just below my ribcage feeling extremely tired constant sore heads do you think something serious could be wrong?

I can think of a couple reasons why you are feeling this way. First, you may simply be having a more severe menstruation than normal. If this is the case, your period should end after the typical number of days and you should go back to normal.

Second, you could be miscarrying a very early term pregnancy. However, if you have not had sex since your last normal period, this isn't what's happening. If you have had sex since your last normal period, you may want to make an appointment with your doctor to see what's going on.

Third, you may be starting to have symptoms of endometriosis. This is a condition in which the lining tissue of the uterus gets seeded in the abdomen and goes through a bleeding/shedding cycle within your abdomen. It can be excruciatingly painful and can have significant effects on your future fertility.

Fourth, you may have a viral infection on top of your period - always not fun. Therefore, in addition to the normal "period unhappiness" (bloating, cramping, hot/cold flashes, headache, mood swings, etc.), you may also be experiencing influenza or the common cold (headaches, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, lethargy, runny nose, etc).

Depending upon how rotten exactly you feel, and what other symptoms you may be experiencing, you may want to see a doctor and make sure nothing serious is going on.

What are the ingredients of a sanitary napkin?

Inside most sanitary napkins is some sort of cotton or clothlike layer, an absorbant that turns into gel when it absorbs liquids and other paper like materials mixed together to form that middle layer, that have been bleached, disinfefted with various chemicals and disinfectants, sometimes there are odorized agents that help mask the odor, and a plastic bottom layer that does not permit any leaks, and the chemical glue that stays on our panties. Sounds good enough, except all of the above cause most women to have rashes, infections, viruses and other gynocological problems. Simply because they are not made of natural materials and provide an amazing environment for all sorts of bacteria and viruses! There is a solution however!!! Sanitary napkins "Love Moon" are made of 100% cotton, food grade material, even the glue on the bottom is made of the same stuff that is used in chewing gum. They are breathable which provides vetilation, eliminating that hot and web feeling. They are 100 times better absorbant comparing to all other brands we have on the market!

Yeast infection followed by late period with brown spotting?

I had the same thing happen to me and I was pregnant. I would take a test to make sure. You should not be treated for a yeast infection until you are 12 weeks along. I had to live with it for that long and then I could treat it.

What if our period only comes out when you go pee but it wont come out into the pad without going pee?

It's possible you have a urinary tract infection, and not your period. Right answer,and if you have pain,burning and a twitchy feeling in your urethra [wherethe urine comes out, the infection could go to you kidneys and you'll have a real problem.Do you have afever or abdominal pain? Go to doctor ASAP.

Is an ultrasound EDD accurate if your period does not last normally seven days?

the EDD is the estimated date of delivery, with both of my children the edd was not correct. my first was born a week after the edd which was the date of conception plus 40 weeks. my second was born 10 days prior to the edd but i also had 4 different edd.

Estimated Date of Delivery is just that, Estimated. A baby can be born from 3 weeks before up to 2 weeks after with no problems.

With my first, his scan EDD was 10 days later than my period EDD and he was born on the scan EDD.

Second time around (twins) the scan and period EDD were the same but I was induced 4 weeks before with pre-eclampsia.

The only EDD that is accurate from an ultrasound is one done in the first trimester. The earlier the ultrasound is performed, the better. We measure what is known as the crown-rump length (the measurement from the top of the head to the baby's backside), and this measurement is the most accurate in predicting an EDD. First trimester ultrasounds are typically accurate within a week of how far along a baby actually is. Second trimester ultrasounds are up to two weeks off; and third trimester ones are up to three weeks off. What we are measuring, though, is how far along the baby really is--not when the baby will be born. As someone else mentioned, a due date is only an estimate--and only 5% of women actually deliver on their due date.

Which day is the first day of menstruation when there is light bleeding for a day then nothing for two days then the full bleeding starts?

The day you first start the light bleeding. Because you don't bleed for 2 days after the light bleeding, then don't count these days as your period. But its still day 1 of your period.

You missed about 4 days worth of your birth control and you just took them you started your period early and you would like to know if this is why you started early please help?

You started your period early because you missed your pills. Remember, if you miss pills you are not protected, use a back-up metnod of contraception for this cycle, such as condoms.

What causes light periods?

Often a woman will have a light period if she has either too much or too little body fat. If that's not the problem, check with your doctor.

What could this mean I had my last period from Mar 2 to the 8th and today is the 20th and i spotted a little i am not on birth control but the last time i was active was over a month ago help?

You are at day 18 of your cycle, which means you are probably ovulating, and having ovulation spotting, which can happen to some women. Your period should still show up on time, but if its 4 days later than your longest period, consider a pregnancy test or seeing a doctor. But this is totally normal, so don't worry.

Can sex push back a period and if so how many days can it be pushed back?

No, sex cannot push back your period - think about this for a moment, if sex could effect your menstrual cycle how would anyone ever get pregnant? Your period is determined by your menstrual cycle, sex doesn't effect this unless you happen to get pregnant.

How long should you leave a slender tampon in?

Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours.

Regardless of the size or absorbency of the tampon they need to be changed regularly to reduce risks of vaginal infections like Bacterial Vaginosis and risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).


If the tampon leaks sooner then change sooner, if it leaks within 1-2 hours it's safe to use the next absorbency up from what you're using. If the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours then you need to use lower absorbency, if already using lowest absorbency then switch to pads.
