I’m an OBGYN ultrasound tech and I wish all my patients could see this. Can’t tell you how many patients we get for ultrasound bc of the period being a different color or consistency or pausing for a day then ending brown or starting brown. Even before becoming a tech I had this and always instinctively knew it was normal. Just made sense. When blood is exposed to the air it turns brown. I never once worried about it or went to the doctor for it. But sooooo many women do! I’m glad to see channels like this educating women.
@@Arlene_witha_y Hi I’m in school for sonography and specifically want to go into the obgyn field. I wanted to ask what the most challenging part for you has been and what environment you prefer to work in like an office or hospital ? Thanks
Hi everyone, hope you are all well. It’s been a while, I know! 😆 I made this video to address some of the misinformation I’ve seen surrounding period blood colours. It’s been a labour of love; I’ve poured hours upon hours into what you see here in it’s seven minute form.

Thank you for reminding ladies that it’s good to pay attention to what comes out of you! Education is a key to health. 14 years ago my period discharge began to look strange to me. Pieces of tissue mixed in with watery blood that was a funny pink. I went to my Gynecologist who said it was good that I noticed. I had stage 1 endometrial cancer. Had surgery. That took care of it. Hurray. Thanks again.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This conversation should totally be had in my country, Kenya. There's a lot of period stigma and putting the conversation on the table has been so hard - the stigma is so much so that many young girls drop out of school out of embarrassment and period poverty, like, they cannot afford pads or relevant alternatives consistently, (in one extreme case in mid 2022, a 14yo committed suicide because boys and male teachers in her school saw a stain on her dress, she ran home and hung herself leaving a note that she couldn't go back to that school cos she can't face her peers as they saw her blood!) Some in the rural are so misinformed by culture, they believe they should get married when they first see their menstrual period as they are now 'full women', and they actually drop out of school to get married. Feb 2023, a female legislator (Member of Parliament) literally had to get dramatic and go to parliament in "stained" white trouser suit, somewhat picketing in a silent way, just to make a point and bring the conversation to the table... Even then, her female counterparts (especially), as well as the male, castigated her and I was shocked! I am loving every bit of this discussion and looking forward to more.❤️ Following from Kenya.
That’s so so sad 😢 I can’t imagine getting my period and not knowing anything about it, that would be terrifying, you’d think you were dying 😖 the poor girls/women
I haven't had my period for months now, i went to see the gynae and he gave me primolut to take for a couplr of days and it came. After that, i never saw my period again. Just this week, i noticed my period is coming, but it's not the usual. It's brown and clothy and just in tiny bits since i started to now (day 4) . What do i do?
@@rebeccawhenton1777since it has started coming (after the months break) you can just watch it, see how many days it'll flow. Record what you notice. Calculate the flow date for the next month, and see if it flows again. If "all things are equal", then you know your period has returned for good I guess 🤷♂️❤
Re: Purple stains on menstrual pads, it could be "leakage" from the urethra after having eaten red beets in the days prior. I had slight yellow "leakage" a long time ago on my menstrual pads, before I started doing exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor. And after I ate red beets for two days in a row, both my urine and my stools turned dark purple for a few days. If you put both together... Of course it wouldl be rare!
So I don’t know if the Dr herself will see this or not but I wanted to let her know just how much I feel she’s helping not only myself but others like me. My mother was not one to explain my body or how it worked. I’m a month shy of my 34th birthday and only just a few months ago learned why I “couldn’t” urinate with a tampon in….. I’m too well endowed and need adjusting. As a grown woman asking questions that many children know the answer to, it’s embarrassing to the point I just don’t ask. Google doesn’t give the kind of answers that are actually helpful and I feel lost. In just 4 videos you’ve taught me more than my 33 years and lifetime of education and doctor visits taught me. I can’t thank you enough.

Hi, I'm so curious about your comment. I hope you don't mind me asking, but, when you say you can't urinate while wearing a tampon, do you mean you're physically unable? Or just that you shouldn't do it?
@@AshleysTarotCorner why wouldn't you be able to urinate with the tampon inside you? What you saying you well endowed, never heard a woman say that. How strange 😮

I am learning so much from you. As my Mother is no longer Earth side, I am seeking ways to better answer the “big questions” for my daughters and myself as well 🫶🏾
This article is a wow It's really worth something. Thanks Doc for this simple but quiet exposition on the menstrual topic the topic our parents were ashamed or avoiding to teach us about
I'm 50 this year. I've been menstruating since I was 12. If only women my age had had this type of openness and sharing of information. Literally I only learned this year about period poo. I wish all menstrual women good menstrual health!
This channel is one of my favorites, we rarely see real informative content on UA-cam. Dr. Simi, you are incredible, thank you for your work. Hope you can talk about hymenal remnants. I didn't know it was a thing.
Thank you so much I just started my period today and it’s light pink but I have an older cousins who’s red so I was worried thank you so much you lessened my anxiety
Yes Periods are not disgusting. Without it, there would be no more humans on earth. I refuse to be shamed for something that i have no control over. And something that is a blessing to humanity. AM A GIRL SO I MENSTRUATE!!
Dr. Simi, thank you for making a video about this. It really helps! I recently experienced pink light bleeding or spotting exactly on the 4th day of my period & extended on to the 5th day. This actually freaked me out. I’m still unsure why this has happened.
What a great educational video! There is still not enough of such knowledge commonplace amongst women and girls and what a difference it makes - thank you!!
Please could you do a video about the difference between cirvical fluid and vaginal discharge? I previously thought they were two terms for the same thing but from the way you talked about them in this video I am wondering if they might be different things and maybe I should understand the difference.
It’s not disgusting she says 😅yes it is. Looking from a distance. I must say pretty good to have explanation for these. Thanks for sacrificing your time for us to learn this in more depth.
Omg you're back right on time when I need it! Watching your videos give me a some sense of assurance that I'm just overthinking my body again. It's hard growing up with little knowledge about how our body works as a female ~_~ Thank you for your informative video as usual Doc!
I got my very first period last Friday, it’s been going well so far. It started turning brown after it started getting lighter, and there has been less and less each time I go to sleep, so happy it’s stopping.
Welcome to womanhood beautiful. 🌷Never feel embarrassed about your period. Your body is amazing! It has the ability to create a whole human if you ever choose to later in life. Keep being amazing! You got this.💐🌸🌺
Read "Are You There God? It's me, Margaret." I loved that when I was 12 and wanting a period. Started when I was 13 and it was brown and light. 30 years later, I'm ready for it to go away! Welcome to womanhood!
I had fibroids and I was constantly in pain, it was like a tap, I was producing at least 4 to 5 pint glasses of blood a day, and then, I had a operation to shirink my fibroids and that was the best decision I ever made as I didn't have a life with all the health problems that it caused me, and I was on a loads of medication too, I could say more...... Listening from London UK 🇬🇧 I'm from 🇱🇨🇩🇲
I just found you on UA-cam and your channel is amazing and so educational. They need to make a school curriculum on your videos because young women would know it’s normal to be female instead of being treated like we are not human or gross for the different things our bodies go through 🥰
Really grateful that there is someone out there counterattack the many many misinformative channels out there. so many false and yet screamingly bright lettered videos that make you believe sh... no seriously its good that you do what you do. internet has made us all more informed but sadly also too much false information as well. Thanks Dr Simi
You're a collection of the right information. I wish I could have known you earlier because it took a long time to find this information from multiple websites a few years ago, and many of the websites stated incorrect one. In Japan, this kind of education is hard to gain. Even among family and friends, this kind of knowledge is hard to share. Thank you so much for the distribution.
Just found your channel. This is my first video of yours. Amazing work. Please continue this useful work. I wish I had this resource when I first got my period (over 30 years ago), as my mum died when I was young. Would be great to know more about lumps in breasts- I can’t really imagine how it would feel- though everyone says ‘you’ll just know.’ Thanks.
Hi, welcome to my channel and thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment! I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my content! Thanks for the video suggestion too- I have a video on that topic so feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comment section!😊
I love the colours you showed us! I always get confused when people talk about the colours and clots, since I have no idea what they refer to. For me a little bit of clogging has always felt very natural and quite healthy and I this video confirms that. I have never had a period with “blood” coming out (as I would cut myself).
Thank you so much ma we love and appreciate you so much ❤️💙💗💗 This so amazing such and interesting lesson for us to understand our monthly period more better doctor we appreciate you once again because this lesson is very very fetal
I felt so weird always having brown period blood at the end of my cycle or as you said when I was sleeping in longer! So thank you for talking about this and making me feel like nothing is wrong with me just because the blood can turn brown from oxidation😊
❤️ Dear Dr Adedeji: Could you please do some videos regarding signs to watch out for in or after menopause? I think a great many women of that demographic feel forgotten about across the board and we are young women that just happened to age but we feel the same way as younger women. Thank you Dr, ❤️ *Edited for typo.
Hi Dr Simi, is it possible for you to explain spotting in detail and spotting whilst on a contraceptive? There are women whom don't have a normal flow (mensturating for a day or 2 consistently) yet experience their period on a constant spotting bases. When does spotting become concerning, especially whilst on a contraceptive? Thank you so much for your channel 🇿🇦
Ah doc you are back I missed you so much for a whole long year your videos are very informative thankyou so much I want to be a doctor just like you💓💓💓
I love How clearly and simply she explains everything. The way she talks is absolutely undeniable to someone without medical knowledge. Thank you doctor!🥹
I have been Warned over the years Not to bathe Nor shower Nor shampoo my hair during my menses, since I was a pad user and Not a tampon user. (And certainly No swimming.) I have already been menopausal for many years now, but I still wonder about all those warnings. 6:58
@@DeborahSpence-hj8ys yes. Whrn a full bath is taken the period tends to stop and thats not good as the blood which shld flow out accumulates? Those can turn into unpleasant things also making the tummy hurt more.
This channel is a gold mine of pertinent information! Thank you so much as you have given me answers or at least the foundation to the answers I am looking for in regards to my gynecological health. Please don't stop! Love your energy as well. It is awesome to see a medical doctor that is obviously passionate with her line of work. =)
Thank you so much for this video! This kind of information is so hard to find and it’s great that you talk about it so openly to destigmatise it. I have a question, would that brown blood, when it happens before and/or after a period count as part of the period?
Thanks for the video! Can you please do a video on dryness (causes and treatments), and causes more than just menopause? I’ve been having issues and it feels like a mystery to me as I’m young
Hello dr my self now it's like two yrs i have not received ma period and am having alot of pain is as if am in period bt am not aven ma breast are pain to i dont have a child and am 39now yrs plz help me
Thank you for this educational video. I wish that I would have had access to this information when I was younger. Still super beneficial to learn and understand my own period. You are fantastic at explaining in detail. Much love and appreciation for empowering us with your knowledge.
Dr Simi, thank you so much for all the useful information you are giving to us! I am so grateful that you take the time to make these videos and explain everything thoroughly and that you care to educate us ☺️☺️👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Dr Simi Adedeji, My name is Simi Shankar. I just started watching your videos, as I had undergone a D&C Surgery, due to abnormal bleeding. To know what exactly my body is going through. It was helpful. Thank you
Thank you doctor! How about the consistency of the blood, though? Does it indicate anything about your overall health? For example, if the blood comes out in a more jelly or fluid form? Thank you ❤
Thank you Dr. Simi, this was a very informative video. I'm watching you from Namibia🇳🇦, and your videos are just so educative... so thank you once again. I was curious about a few things, and was wondering if you could do a video on that if possible. I don't really know if you take requests... But if you can could you please do a video on cysts, fibroids and endometriosis & the menstrual cycle; do any of these things affect periods in any way, such as blood flow, how heavy/light it is or period cramps, etc.
Hello, I would love a deep episode about a question I have. Since I was 16 I have always had sweat and heat/hot flushes during my period till now 27. My periods are also painful. I wanted to know do hot flushes mean low estrogen ? Because my periods since I was young used to come on time so how would it be low estrogen ?
Dear Dr.simi Your a blessing to all women,especially ones like me, where taking or being taught the basics was frowned upon and left you feeling disgusted because as your girl/ female you should have automatically knew these things. Since my very first period i had no guidance or advice in what i was,meant or supposed to do, what is normal along with now what do i do? I have always had emotional trauma beginning with my first period because i had to just 'bleed and get on with it' and do what i could do to get through it! I was young then and scared, didnt want to be a girl...there many young women out there who need you in there lives,your knowledge is freedom from feeling embarrassed and alone. God bless you and thank you ❤
Love your dedication to your craft 💝. Those samples look so real. How did you mange to get them so realistic? Thanks for your dedication and for sharing the good knowledge! One little note though: there was a period in my life I had severe anemia. And my blood became more orange and it was in less quantity than usual. Not sure if these were related or I had some other things going a bit off in my body that caused the symptoms, but after my anemia was treated, everything came back to normal with my menstruation as well :)
Dr Simi thank you so very much for this insightful detailed information. I love you, it's really been a while ♥️🍜 Am a virgin at 29 single from birth but my periods have been very painful even before I started mensuration that was when I was fourteen the sign that I was going to start periods was a very sharp painful experience. My periods are regular though just painful and I do see these clots alot. Lately I experience this intense fever before my periods starts it's not easy, it's like when one has Malaria the fever is intense. Should I get concerned? I have a question too, what causes painful ovulation and how can I stop it because pain blocks don't work for me. It's just too much😭😭 sometimes I can't even move my legs then after that egg white like fluid comes out I get a relief ☺️
Painful period could be caused by ovarian cyst or endometriosis. I used to experience painful periods that would result to me vomiting, feeling feverish, stooling, migraine and not feeling my legs. I suffered it for years before going for a pelvic ultra sound scan that showed I had ovarian cyst. I saw a gynaecologist afterwards. The rest is history. I suggest you go to a diagnostic center and do an ultrasound scan.
You are right to ask this bc Periods are not supposed to be painful. While painful periods are common, it is a sign that something is off balance, either in your hormone balance or gut health (which can effect reproductive system). I took a nutritionist who specializes in women's hormones and changed my diet, started taking supplements and cycle syncing, and I can say that my PMS and period symptoms have decreased tremendously. It's amazing how everything is connected.
I'm 33 soon and we woman should be educateing by someone like this amazing woman in this way about such a important thing as our period in very earlier age Thank you ❤
Thanks Doc! I did a DNC and polyps removal in May. Since then my period flows heavy for only 2 days without cramps and clears on the 3rd day. Is this normal?
HaHa! I love the way she told us that she spent her Saturday trying to get the right colors for this video, that shows shes wanting to give us good content. I also love the Beautiful Barbie Doll she used. You go girl. I also looooove her accent, although usually I hate hearing accents, hers is very beautiful.LOL
Hi Doctor Simi! This video is quite informative. I'm a bit curious about this issue. So what are the likely outcomes of a lady in her mid twenties who has heavy bleeding and regular clotting (like a huge lump) especially on the third day of her period? (The lump comes out once after which the period ends)
After the covid19 vaccine I had massive clots and heavy periods. Nothing has changed over the last 2yrs. I thought everything would go back to normal but it hasn't 😢
Hi Doctor Simi!! Your videos have helped me out so much. I've had a question for so long, I got my period at the "normal" age (13 for me) but then after that I rarely got it, (I'm 16 now) last year I dont even get it at all. I'm planning to see my doctor but I'm not sure if its something that I should really worry about.
i think you should see a doctor about it, losing your period can be a sign that you’re not getting enough nutrients for your body to support it. in this case you just need to plan your diet a bit more to make sure you’re getting everything you need :) it could be something more serious though, so i would see a doctor if i were you! better to get it sorted out now while you are young
@@merrymermaid thank you!! I'm still waiting on my doctors appointment to roll around but I really appreciate the comment, it does make me feel better =D

Could you please do a video on basic anatomy for people with uteruses? People have genuinely never been taught their own anatomy and it's frustrating
Thank you for the video suggestion! 😊
Basic anatomy video for women.
What a great educational video! There is still not enough of such knowledge commonplace amongst women and girls and what a difference it makes - thank you!!
Please could you do a video about the difference between cirvical fluid and vaginal discharge? I previously thought they were two terms for the same thing but from the way you talked about them in this video I am wondering if they might be different things and maybe I should understand the difference.
It’s not disgusting she says 😅yes it is. Looking from a distance. I must say pretty good to have explanation for these. Thanks for sacrificing your time for us to learn this in more depth.
So glad you are back! This video was very helpful and informative as is your whole channel!
Thank you so much! It’s good to be back!
@@DrSimiAdedejihi Doc am in my period but the pain is so much it flows heavily and it's black i think sam thing is wrong with me
Thank you so much!! This is so helpful!!! I appreciate your honesty and amazing explanations!!
Omg you're back right on time when I need it! Watching your videos give me a some sense of assurance that I'm just overthinking my body again. It's hard growing up with little knowledge about how our body works as a female ~_~ Thank you for your informative video as usual Doc!
Hi, You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
Hi doctor can I ask u something
@@DrSimiAdedeji which tablet would a person take
Please what medicine can I take for irregular periods
I‘ve had a dark brown to black period 5 months in a row now and I’m terrified. I don’t wanna go to the doctor, let alone talk about it with anyone
I got my very first period last Friday, it’s been going well so far. It started turning brown after it started getting lighter, and there has been less and less each time I go to sleep, so happy it’s stopping.
Welcome to womanhood beautiful. 🌷Never feel embarrassed about your period. Your body is amazing! It has the ability to create a whole human if you ever choose to later in life. Keep being amazing! You got this.💐🌸🌺
Welcome to womanhood❤
Congratulations 🎉 Welcome to the sisterhood!
Welcome to the club lady! Handy tip. Always carry a tampon or pad in case of emergencies 😘
Read "Are You There God? It's me, Margaret." I loved that when I was 12 and wanting a period. Started when I was 13 and it was brown and light. 30 years later, I'm ready for it to go away! Welcome to womanhood!
The one video i have seenwhich doesn't scare the hell out of me with all these different names and possible abnormalities!!! Thank you so much!❤
I had fibroids and I was constantly in pain, it was like a tap, I was producing at least 4 to 5 pint glasses of blood a day, and then, I had a operation to shirink my fibroids and that was the best decision I ever made as I didn't have a life with all the health problems that it caused me, and I was on a loads of medication too, I could say more......
Listening from London UK 🇬🇧 I'm from 🇱🇨🇩🇲
I just found you on UA-cam and your channel is amazing and so educational. They need to make a school curriculum on your videos because young women would know it’s normal to be female instead of being treated like we are not human or gross for the different things our bodies go through 🥰
Great video for parents to use to explain to their preteens before starting their period.
Thank you!
I've always been scared of period color rumors Thank you for this❤❤
You’re welcome! Some of the rumours can be quite frightening!
Really grateful that there is someone out there counterattack the many many misinformative channels out there. so many false and yet screamingly bright lettered videos that make you believe sh... no seriously its good that you do what you do. internet has made us all more informed but sadly also too much false information as well. Thanks Dr Simi
You’re welcome. Thank you for your comment!
@@DrSimiAdedeji hae doc what cause black discharge
You're a collection of the right information. I wish I could have known you earlier because it took a long time to find this information from multiple websites a few years ago, and many of the websites stated incorrect one. In Japan, this kind of education is hard to gain. Even among family and friends, this kind of knowledge is hard to share. Thank you so much for the distribution.
Just found your channel. This is my first video of yours. Amazing work. Please continue this useful work. I wish I had this resource when I first got my period (over 30 years ago), as my mum died when I was young. Would be great to know more about lumps in breasts- I can’t really imagine how it would feel- though everyone says ‘you’ll just know.’ Thanks.
Hi, welcome to my channel and thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment! I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my content! Thanks for the video suggestion too- I have a video on that topic so feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comment section!😊
I love the colours you showed us! I always get confused when people talk about the colours and clots, since I have no idea what they refer to. For me a little bit of clogging has always felt very natural and quite healthy and I this video confirms that.
I have never had a period with “blood” coming out (as I would cut myself).
Dr. Simi, I’m literally on my period and smiled so hard when I saw this notification. I’ve missed you so much!😩🤗💖
Hi Rosey, Thank you!!! It's good to be back. ♥
@@DrSimiAdedeji We’re glad you’re back too! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. 💖
Same 😂 I quickly clicked.
Though am a nursing student, i know all these but she simplifies the whole thing.
Such an expert in her field.💕
Thank you so much ma we love and appreciate you so much ❤️💙💗💗
This so amazing such and interesting lesson for us to understand our monthly period more better
doctor we appreciate you once again because this lesson is very very fetal
When do a woman actually stop her period or what should she look for when about to menopause?
hi Dr.Simi, appreciate the important info. I was shy to ask my momma, but now am aware of these types of things thx to you :)
God bless
I felt so weird always having brown period blood at the end of my cycle or as you said when I was sleeping in longer! So thank you for talking about this and making me feel like nothing is wrong with me just because the blood can turn brown from oxidation😊
❤❤❤she is more than a doc She really care for ladies ' health
❤️ Dear Dr Adedeji: Could you please do some videos regarding signs to watch out for in or after menopause? I think a great many women of that demographic feel forgotten about across the board and we are young women that just happened to age but we feel the same way as younger women. Thank you Dr, ❤️ *Edited for typo.
This is the first video that I've found that helped me out with my questions
Hi Dr Simi, is it possible for you to explain spotting in detail and spotting whilst on a contraceptive? There are women whom don't have a normal flow (mensturating for a day or 2 consistently) yet experience their period on a constant spotting bases.
When does spotting become concerning, especially whilst on a contraceptive?
Thank you so much for your channel 🇿🇦
Ah doc you are back I missed you so much for a whole long year your videos are very informative thankyou so much I want to be a doctor just like you💓💓💓
Hi! Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos! And wishing you the best for your journey towards becoming a doctor.
@@DrSimiAdedeji thank you so much for replying 😘❤️ ❤️
@@hereandthere5929 😊
this has helped so so so much In my family we don’t talk about periods and stuff like that so it’s nice to have a women tell us about our periods❤️
Thank you for educating on these topics! Have you ever thought about doing anything on the topic of psoriasis?
You’re welcome! Yes I will do a video on psoriasis. Watch this space… 😄
@@DrSimiAdedeji That's so appreciated! Looking forward to your future posts :)
I love How clearly and simply she explains everything. The way she talks is absolutely undeniable to someone without medical knowledge. Thank you doctor!🥹
I have been Warned over the years Not to bathe Nor shower Nor shampoo my hair during my menses, since I was a pad user and Not a tampon user. (And certainly No swimming.) I have already been menopausal for many years now, but I still wonder about all those warnings. 6:58
@@DeborahSpence-hj8ys yes. Whrn a full bath is taken the period tends to stop and thats not good as the blood which shld flow out accumulates? Those can turn into unpleasant things also making the tummy hurt more.
This channel is a gold mine of pertinent information! Thank you so much as you have given me answers or at least the foundation to the answers I am looking for in regards to my gynecological health. Please don't stop! Love your energy as well. It is awesome to see a medical doctor that is obviously passionate with her line of work. =)
36 yrs. old and im still learning
tnx for this
Imagine if men were educated about womens period in such way.
I had this video auto play after I was learning about hhc vs thc while in the car. Not sure why this was the next video but I am now educated 😇
I'm surprised with how open you talk about periods. Thanks for information
Thank you so much for this video! This kind of information is so hard to find and it’s great that you talk about it so openly to destigmatise it. I have a question, would that brown blood, when it happens before and/or after a period count as part of the period?
Great! The way you talk made it easy for me to understand (english is not my first language). Thank you, dr
this is informative and very clearly explained, thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thankyou so much doctor, i've heard some of those myths and freaked out. Your explanations are very clear. Thanks again doc ❤
Thanks for the video! Can you please do a video on dryness (causes and treatments), and causes more than just menopause? I’ve been having issues and it feels like a mystery to me as I’m young
You’re welcome. Thanks for the video suggestion!
Ma Please i need your WhatsApp number
what a wonderful service you're doing for women! thank you.
Hi Dr. Simi, this video was awesome. I would love to hear your point of view on ovulation cycle spotting/bleeding.

Thank you for this educational video. I wish that I would have had access to this information when I was younger. Still super beneficial to learn and understand my own period. You are fantastic at explaining in detail. Much love and appreciation for empowering us with your knowledge.
I've learned more from you in 5 min than any gyno! Thank you!! 💕💕💕

Thank you! I agree 😀
Glad to see someone normalize talking and sharing about this subject🙏👍

@@DrSimiAdedeji You're welcome 😊
Hi Dr Simi Adedeji, My name is Simi Shankar. I just started watching your videos, as I had undergone a D&C Surgery, due to abnormal bleeding. To know what exactly my body is going through. It was helpful. Thank you
Thank you for clarifying some of these myths.
You’re welcome!
Cool video! Always wondered about this topic. Thank you, Dr Adedeji, for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you doctor! How about the consistency of the blood, though? Does it indicate anything about your overall health? For example, if the blood comes out in a more jelly or fluid form? Thank you ❤
Hi Dr Simi
Really appreciate your teachings very important lessons. Thank you Dr. Simi 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Dr. Simi, this was a very informative video. I'm watching you from Namibia🇳🇦, and your videos are just so educative... so thank you once again.
I was curious about a few things, and was wondering if you could do a video on that if possible. I don't really know if you take requests...
But if you can could you please do a video on cysts, fibroids and endometriosis & the menstrual cycle; do any of these things affect periods in any way, such as blood flow, how heavy/light it is or period cramps, etc.
Hi, 👋🏾how wonderful that you are watching all the way from Namibia! Thank you for your support and for your video request!
I love how you explain things in a way we can all understand.
Thank you! ❤
Hello, I would love a deep episode about a question I have. Since I was 16 I have always had sweat and heat/hot flushes during my period till now 27. My periods are also painful. I wanted to know do hot flushes mean low estrogen ? Because my periods since I was young used to come on time so how would it be low estrogen ?
Dear Dr.simi
Your a blessing to all women,especially ones like me, where taking or being taught the basics was frowned upon and left you feeling disgusted because as your girl/ female you should have automatically knew these things. Since my very first period i had no guidance or advice in what i was,meant or supposed to do, what is normal along with now what do i do? I have always had emotional trauma beginning with my first period because i had to just 'bleed and get on with it' and do what i could do to get through it! I was young then and scared, didnt want to be a girl...there many young women out there who need you in there lives,your knowledge is freedom from feeling embarrassed and alone. God bless you and thank you ❤
Your videos are so helpful and informative 😊
Thank you! 😊
Love your dedication to your craft 💝. Those samples look so real. How did you mange to get them so realistic? Thanks for your dedication and for sharing the good knowledge!
One little note though: there was a period in my life I had severe anemia. And my blood became more orange and it was in less quantity than usual. Not sure if these were related or I had some other things going a bit off in my body that caused the symptoms, but after my anemia was treated, everything came back to normal with my menstruation as well :)
You are awesome! And witty! Just full of very important info. Thank you...
Dr Simi thank you so very much for this insightful detailed information. I love you, it's really been a while ♥️🍜
Am a virgin at 29 single from birth but my periods have been very painful even before I started mensuration that was when I was fourteen the sign that I was going to start periods was a very sharp painful experience. My periods are regular though just painful and I do see these clots alot. Lately I experience this intense fever before my periods starts it's not easy, it's like when one has Malaria the fever is intense.
Should I get concerned?
I have a question too, what causes painful ovulation and how can I stop it because pain blocks don't work for me. It's just too much😭😭 sometimes I can't even move my legs then after that egg white like fluid comes out I get a relief ☺️
Painful period could be caused by ovarian cyst or endometriosis. I used to experience painful periods that would result to me vomiting, feeling feverish, stooling, migraine and not feeling my legs. I suffered it for years before going for a pelvic ultra sound scan that showed I had ovarian cyst. I saw a gynaecologist afterwards. The rest is history. I suggest you go to a diagnostic center and do an ultrasound scan.
You are right to ask this bc Periods are not supposed to be painful. While painful periods are common, it is a sign that something is off balance, either in your hormone balance or gut health (which can effect reproductive system).
I took a nutritionist who specializes in women's hormones and changed my diet, started taking supplements and cycle syncing, and I can say that my PMS and period symptoms have decreased tremendously. It's amazing how everything is connected.
I like how your explanation are well detailed with pictures. 🙏
I have black discharge a week after my normal periods. I'm scared..
U ok?
I'm 33 soon and we woman should be educateing by someone like this amazing woman in this way about such a important thing as our period in very earlier age Thank you ❤
Thanks Doc! I did a DNC and polyps removal in May. Since then my period flows heavy for only 2 days without cramps and clears on the 3rd day. Is this normal?
Very normal.your body is in balance
HaHa! I love the way she told us that she spent her Saturday trying to get the right colors for this video, that shows shes wanting to give us good content. I also love the Beautiful Barbie Doll she used. You go girl. I also looooove her accent, although usually I hate hearing accents, hers is very beautiful.LOL
Hi Doctor Simi!
This video is quite informative. I'm a bit curious about this issue. So what are the likely outcomes of a lady in her mid twenties who has heavy bleeding and regular clotting (like a huge lump) especially on the third day of her period? (The lump comes out once after which the period ends)
I’m so glad I found this channel
After the covid19 vaccine I had massive clots and heavy periods. Nothing has changed over the last 2yrs. I thought everything would go back to normal but it hasn't 😢
I really love watching your videos, you’re so down to earth but honest which I really appreciate. ❤️
Thank you. I’m really pleased that you enjoy my videos! Thank you for watching and for your support! 😊
Hi Doctor Simi!! Your videos have helped me out so much. I've had a question for so long, I got my period at the "normal" age (13 for me) but then after that I rarely got it, (I'm 16 now) last year I dont even get it at all. I'm planning to see my doctor but I'm not sure if its something that I should really worry about.
i think you should see a doctor about it, losing your period can be a sign that you’re not getting enough nutrients for your body to support it. in this case you just need to plan your diet a bit more to make sure you’re getting everything you need :) it could be something more serious though, so i would see a doctor if i were you! better to get it sorted out now while you are young
@@merrymermaid thank you!! I'm still waiting on my doctors appointment to roll around but I really appreciate the comment, it does make me feel better =D
