Menstruation

The average American woman will have some 500 periods in her lifetime, beginning around the age of 12. But in spite of all this first-hand experience, many of us have little more than a superficial understanding of exactly what our body goes through during menstruation – leading us to overreact at any sign of an abnormality. Well don’t let your imagination get the best of you anymore! All you need to know is here!

If you are not quite sure where to begin, check out our menstruation articles and the Q&A page on period issues to find out about some of the common problems women experience on their periods. You can also get the answers to your specific questions on abnormal bleeding patterns and what could be causing sudden changes in your cycle. For those experiencing irregular periods, missed periods, or late periods, you’ll want to check out the articles pertaining to each to find out what might be causing the problem.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is one unfortunate side effect of getting your period. But what cuases pms symptoms in the first place? Find out how your diet, for example, may play a crucial role in reducing your symptoms. If you are experiencing more severe PMS, however, you may want to look into what your treatment options are. For example, many women suffer through the cramps on their period, when there are many treatments available (including non-prescription ones). Another common symptom of PMS is the menstrual migraine – but are you sure yours is not simply caused by tension? The answer could mean the difference between suffering and relief.

If, on the other hand, your symptoms are more emotional than physical, you should look into the differences between pms and pmdd, since this latter disorder is characterized by mood disturbances related to menstruation, such as anxiety, depression and irritability.

Heavy bleeding is another common problem many women are concerned about. But what if you’ve begun perimenopause and are still experiencing heavy bleeding? And while constant bleeding is a concern at any age, does it carry any greater significance for women over 50? What about after age 39? Another problem that can be a major concern for women over the age of 40 is constant uterine bleeding, since it is after that age that the risk of uterine cancer is greatest.

And no matter what age you are, you will want to be sure to get a proper diagnosis of exactly what is causing your period problem. One technique you might want to learn more about is saline injection is therapy.
