Menstruation

The essential oil derived from anise has been used since antiquity (i.e. ancient Egypt and Greece) to relieve menstrual cramps. Give it a try!

Yes, it's possible to hemorrhage and bleed to death during menstruation, but it's very unlilely as if a woman experiences excessively heavy flow she would go to her doctor or hospital who would be able to prevent this from happening.

It's also interesting to note that during the TSS outbreaks in the 1970's and 1980's due to tampons like Rely, many women also experienced vaginal hemorrhage - the fibres in these tampons were very rough so caused tearing in the vaginal walls, causing hemorrhage. For some reason this effect wasn't covered like TSS was, but this was very common with these types of tampon.

Yes, you can masturbate while on your period. It is safe and normal to do so, and it may even help alleviate menstrual cramps. Just be sure to wash your hands before and after to prevent the spread of bacteria.

Yes sometimes cramps hit you in the middle of a period, but that's the nature of the beast. You may be ovulating during that time. If you continue to experience cramps - seek a medical professional!

Yes it can. I was having excessive, extensive bleeding and I was prescribed Megestrol temporarily to cease the bleeding. It worked within 24 hours. However, I have breakthrough bleeding occasionally.

yes it is i had light brown blood and i was just find .

Brown just means it was dried and if it is bright red it is fresh. It might have only lasted three day if you are not yet regular. Once you get regular it will begin to last for about a week.

Just a little hint: My period didn't get regular for about a year so don't expect it to be regular right away.

No, you cannot get pregnant on your period because there is no egg to fertilise. You can however get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation because in the right conditions sperm may life up to seven days, by which time you may ovulate. Always use birth control when having sex.

I use Always overnights. They come in a purple package. I have an extremely heavy flow.

Yes

It's not possible to have a period during a pregnancy. If you see blood it does not necessarily mean something is wrong. There are many reasons for it and you should ask a doctor to find out why

I've vigorously searched the internet w no luck. I was Out of the country all summer n stopped birth control right before I left but still had regular periods (usually long and heavy), and had sex while I was there. When I got back I skipped my period and gyno took a blood test which was negative n gave me drugs to induce it and it came normally again. I continued having protected sex over the months following. The next month (sept) it lasted weeks, oct was extremely heavy and long, and now nov and dec I'm not sure if it's there or not because the timing's off and it's been one brown spot daily w some white discharge when wiping only lasting about 3 days. In addition I have tender breasts and back pain and slight lower abdominal cramping, took a drugstore preg test and it was negative. So...wtf??

The menstrual cycle varies between women. It usually lasts between 3-7 days.

This depends entirely on the individual woman's menstrual cycle.

To determine 'safe days' a woman would have to use fertility awareness method to track her cycles.

It's okay don't freak out if you or one of your friends yet there period at 9.

You cannot flush tampons down any toilet.

Although tampon manufacturers claim their products are flushable they say this to make their products seem more convenient and don't care about what they can do to the sewage system: blocking the toilet or pipes further-up the system, which can cost billions per year for water authorities to fix. Furthermore tampons can bypass sewage treatment and make it into the sea.

Always wrap-up your tampons and throw in the bin.

Hormonal birth control works by suppressing the menstrual cycle in order to stop ovulation, no ovulation means no menstruation - the bleeding women experience while on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. It's normal to experience irregular bleeding for the first three months on the pill while the body adjusts to going from a normal cycle to this new pattern of bleeding. Coming off the pill cycles can be irregular for up to 12 months while the body gets into a regular menstrual cycle again.

yes

No, when counting your menstrual cycle day one is the first day of true bleeding. Brown discharge is spotting, small amouts of blood mixing with discharge as you start to bleed, but you don't count this as day one.

If you have never had your period before, than your period will start when your body is ready. That is proberly why some of yoour school mates (assumed) start at different times.

No. Not at all.

Increased vitamin C intake, up to 1,500 mg per day, once menstrual cramping has set in as a means of reducing pain. Citrus fruits such as oranges contains Vitamin C.

One of the remedies that can be useful in reducing menstrual flow is to consume citrus fruits like oranges, sweet lime or guava. These fruits contain Vitamin C which will enhance the absorption of iron that has been depleted during bleeding.

Menstruation usually lasts 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 8 days is considered normal. Having a shorter (or longer) period is nothing to worry about.
