Facts about abnormal periods
There have been a lot of topics on abnormal period so here is a guide that can hopefully answer some of your questions. Source information comes from http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/menstruat...truabnormal.htm You may be experiencing an abnormal period, abnormal uterine bleeding, an abnormal menstrual cycle if...  your menstrual cycle is longer than 31 to 35 days apart, or less than two weeks from day one of your period to day one of your next period.you are soaking through more than one tampon or sanitary pad in 1 or 2 hours, or if your period lasts longer than 7 days, you may be experiencing excessive uterine bleeding or heavy menstruation.you experience extremely severe cramps with menstruation. Some cramping is normal during your period, although not all women experience menstrual cramps, if your menstrual cramps seem more severe than normal you should see your health care provider to rule out and/ or diagnose the cause.you may see clots of tissue in your menstruation, don't worry, this is no cause for alarm! Remember, your period consists of the lining of the uterus which is shed during menstruation, clots are very often a part of this shedding and rarely cause for alarm.you are a young girl who has recently experienced the onset of menstruation, don't worry if you skip periods or have irregular periods for the first few years. This is very normal.you are a young girl who extremely active in sports activities you may experience absence of menstruation for long periods of time. The cause of this is not clearly known.you are a woman who is postmenopausal or a girl who is younger than eleven should see a doctor immediately if they experience uterine bleeding.you are a young woman who is over 16 and have not started your period. See your health care provider and be sure to ask about the possibility of polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS, particularly if you are experiencing other symptoms of PCOS. Remember, normal menstrual bleeding lasts about 5 days, and although it may seem like you are losing a lot more blood, the amount of blood lost during your period is only about 2 to 8 tablespoons. Menstruation occurs on average every twenty-eight days; but, anywhere from twenty-five to thirty-one days between periods is considered a normal menstrual cycle. If you think you are experiencing abnormal bleeding or abnormal periods, contact your health care provider for advice about what steps you should take next.Additional Resource http://womenshealth.about.com/gi/dynamic/o...Firregular.html I felt that this topic would be better-suited for the Girls' Locker, considering guys don't have periods.

What the hell are you thinking to tell that poor women that it sounds like her vagina is dying. What the hell is wrong with you, I will be happy to be banned from this forum if it allows me the chance to tell you that you are a sick , twisted , demented BITCH!!!! She came here scared and confused and looking for help and you had that to say!!! I HOPE YOUR VAGINA DIES YOU DUMB BITCH!!! For all the women that are on here pls take the advice of a women who are sincere and care not from someone like Communist Daughter who probably doesn't even remember what her vagina looks like!!!!

^ Out of all seriousness, I've begged/attempted to persuade them into allowing me to get it. It's not like I'm having sex all the time or anything, either -- my boyfriend lives on the other side of the country. But I want it for all the other reasons OTHER THAN its initial (i.e. regulation, relief for cramps, etc.) purpose, y'know?
In all seriousness, OKEE thx rebecca. ill d0 tht

I'm 13, and I already started my period, and everything is fine, but whenever I have my period, I worry I'm going to bleed on the sheets (at night; this has already happened before), or on my jeans when I'm walking. Is there anything I can do to stop myself from bleeding on my sheets? (normally I just check my pants quickly, and my jeans are fine at school)

Oh, well, my mom knows already that I have my period, but I'm just too embarrassed to ask her to go buy those. I'm too embarrassed to even tell her that the pads are out (usually my sister just puts more in). Ah, well, I guess it's not a big deal.

^ Try wearing a tampon with a pad for extra protection against leakage. Works for me when I'm having a heavy period.

Well I wrote this to help this girl on packing a period kit in this topic.
Someone said it was helpful so I thought I would post it in here.. 1. Calcium Or Tums - if you take enough calcium a day or at least 4 of those Tums it will really help and help decrease some of the symptoms from your period such as bloating, food cravings, and moodiness.. 2. Drink tons of water & stay clear of salt - Salt retains the water in your body which is probably the biggest and main cause of being bloated, water flushes out all the toxins in your body and will make your feel better. Also if your really moody on your period you may want to stay away from the caffeine  3. If your on the go a lot then get those Thermacare heatwraps - I'm sure they'll work wonders Cramps are just muscle spasms in the uterus, and the easiest way to relax them is with heat. Heating pads of course work well too if your able to just sit or lay down and rest. For really bad cramps though a good suggestion is to use anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen. And of course what many love midol I'm sure will help too  4. Tampons/pads - of course. Suggestion 5. Exercise - Even though its the last thing you would ever want to do at a time like this, it works really well. Exercising helps regulate hormones, decreases stress (nice when your really stressed about school and things ;]), and your body is producing endorphins which naturally put you in a good mood Hope this helps? |
