    Hi
    Just want to share some info that can hopefully help you. My period was regular for years then went to every other month and extremely heavy. Like a super+ and pad every hour. This went on for a while. Turns out I had a 13x12 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and had a small one on my right. I didn’t even know till I ended up in the ER when I was 20. Long story short. I only have my right ovary now. Just be aware that your period can tell you if you have any issues with your hormones/reproductive health. Make sure to get checked out regularly. God bless

    I have a 10 day period every now and then. It's not monthly, thank god, but i have a fibroid, and every now and then, it causes me to have an extremely painful period or long period.

    Been there. I used to have very long periods, the longest I remember lasted for one month! And to make things worse sometimes I used to get like 3 -4 periods in 2 months.
    Consulted many gynaecologists and turns out it was due to my severe anaemia paired with early stage PCOS.
    When you’re anaemic your uterine muscles tend to become weaker and cannot bring an end to the periods as it cannot stop blood from flowing. And more bleeding makes you even more anaemic 😢

    I have been kind of having a similar thing; though this is starting to periods again after giving birth, so my body is figuring out how to do a normal period again. If this is abnormal for you, def check with your doctor. I hope everything is okay!

    I might only have 5 day periods but I started when I was ten so have had it way longer than most people my age and I’ve never missed a period. So, if you think I’m lucky think again.

    Do you have any tips for being on your period on vacation? I think im getting mine on my beach vacation to france and thats never happened to me before..

    • @Daisy-x5f
      @Daisy-x5f 9 днів тому

      Certainly! Here are some tips for managing your period during a beach vacation:
      1. Pack plenty of supplies: Make sure to pack an ample supply of tampons, pads, or menstrual cups to last you through the duration of your trip.
      2. Plan ahead: Keep track of your cycle and try to anticipate when your period might start so that you can be prepared with necessary supplies.
      3. Wear comfortable swimwear: Opt for dark-colored swimsuits and consider wearing board shorts or a sarong as an extra layer if it makes you feel more comfortable.
      4. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help alleviate bloating and discomfort associated with menstruation.
      5. Take breaks as needed: If cramps become uncomfortable, take breaks in the shade or relax on a beach towel until they subside.
      6. Consider pain relief options: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen may help manage menstrual cramps while allowing you to enjoy activities during your vacation.
      Remember that periods are natural and nothing to be ashamed about - many people navigate them successfully while enjoying their vacations!

    • @rebn8346

      No. A period should be 3-5 days. Also excessive pain isn't normal, although people say it is, because they've been taught it's normal.
