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.

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.

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.

It should be started 3 to 4 days prior to the onset of menses and should be continued for as long as postponement is required. At the same time it should not be taken for more than 10 to 14 days at a stretch.

Yes, if boils are left untreated they can last a while. By untreated I mean without antibiotics, warm compresses, or warm baths with Epson salt. Without these treatments they will continue to be painful and can last longer but will eventually go away...

If you have only just started your period in the last few months being late isn't unusual. But if you have recently had sexual intercourse there is the possibility of pregnancy. If neither of these is the case, maybe you should consult you GP.

Amenorrhea is when the period is gone for other reasons than pregnancy and in this case too much exercise.

A cramp free period means you had no cramps, nothing more.

Food cravings are about your body needing something in your diet. In the case of sugars it may be that your body needs more energy, perhaps after menstruation it is depleted or it needs more energy around ovulation. It may also simply be that you're addicted to sugar, either way a better diet will help prevent these cravings.

Yes, it is perfectly normal to have irregular periods at first. Most girls worry about it at first, but there is no need.

How fertile a woman is after menstruation depends on the woman and on her menstrual cycle. During the average 28 day cycle a woman is most likely to ovulate on day 14 and can be fertile between days 7-16 - if a woman's cycle is shorter she could ovulate directly after menstruation so be at her most fertile.

Yes, a 45 day cycle is still considered normal. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days but everyone is different and as such a longer cycle is perfectly normal.

No, masturbation cannot stop your period.

Menstruation is controlled by your menstrual cycle and masturbation cannot change your cycle, think about it; if sexual arousal could alter the menstrual cycle how would women ever conceive?

There are some women who have a very heavy menstrual flow, and it is accompanied by severe cramps. Not all women have this (in fact, most do not); but those who do are often very uncomfortable and it impacts their quality of life. The causes for it vary-- in some cases, it is genetic and other women in the family have had it. But in other cases, there are certain medical conditions and syndromes that can cause excessively heavy bleeding during the period.

The good news is that while a heavy period and menstrual cramps can be aggravating, it tends to be treatable. You should visit a gynecologist, who will examine you and find out what is causing your symptoms. The doctor may then be able to prescribe something to regulate your menstrual flow and help you to feel better.
