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.

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.

Can a diaper be used instead of a sanitary napkin for heavy flows?

Yes, a diaper or incontinence pads can be used instead of menstrual pads if your flow is heavy, as too can maternity pads which also hold a little more. It would be a good idea to consider cloth pads which can hold a little more than commercial or organic menstrual pads, you can also add extra liners.

How can you shorten your menstrual period naturally beside using the pill?

There is no way to shorten your menstrual period, certainly not naturally. For the record the pill doesn't shorten your menstrual period either, it works by stopping your menstrual cycles all together so you don't ovulate and thus don't menstruate - the bleeding women get on the pill isn't menstruation but a withdrawal bleed, it can be shorter but it is a totally different function.

It depends completely on your menstrual cycle.

If we look at a typical 28 day cycle, a woman would ovulate on day 14 of her cycle and it can then take up to 16 days for a fertilised egg to travel down the fallopian tubes and implant itself (thus implantation bleeding). Thus implantation bleeding would likely be seen around the same time menstruation would be due.

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.

What is a menustral cup?

A menstrual cup is a type of menstrual product.

Menstrual cups are small bell-shaped cups that you put into your vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual flow before it leaves your body - these are normally made from medical grade silicone, natural gum rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer.

To use a cup you fold [there are various folding methods] then isnert vaginally much as you would a tampon, then once in place the cup opens and you turn it to create a seal between the cup and the vaginal canal in order to prevent leaking. To remove you grab the base of the cup to break suction, remove, and then empty.

Menstrual cups are a popular alternative to tampons because they are safer and more hygienic than tampons - do not harbour bacteria, do not effect vaginal pH, do not damage vaginal tissues, do not contain harmful chemicals, and do not prevent vaginal cleaning. As cups are safer they have never been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome, nor do they cause vaginal infections, irritation or allergic reaction, increased bleeding, increased menstrual cramps, or damgers of cumulative exposure to toxins like dioxin.

As cups pose no health risks there are fewer precautions to follow - they can be worn for 12 hours, used with any menstrual flow, use before menstruation, worn overnight while sleeping, and there is no need to alternate with pads - making them more convenient than tampons or pads. As menstrual cups hold more flow and have light suction this also means they don't leak like tampons or pads so are more reliable.

Some benefits of menstrual cups;

  • Safe.
  • Healthy.
  • Hygenic.
  • Mess-free.
  • Leak-free.
  • Convenient.
  • Reliable.
  • Comfortable.
  • Cheap.
  • Green.
  • Ethical.
  • Body-positive.

What would cause severe cramps and clotting during period?

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.
