20 Advices to change your life.

❉ All about period.

it's important to pay attention to what's normal and what isn't during your cycle because changes can provide clues to your overall health

1- The pill isn't the only option for heavy periods

From 10% to 30% of women deal with heavy menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia a condition that's often accompanied by painful cramps and, if left untreated, can lead to anemia.

2- It's All Your Hormones' Fault

Whether you get monthly moodiness, acne, migraines, diarrhea, exhaustion, anxiety, or even clumsiness, it might be related to the hormonal changes that occur during your period, says Minkin. Of course, if these things also occur during other times of the month, it might not be all your period's fault, so it's worth talking to a doctor if any of these are new or they seriously interfere with your daily life.

3- Any medical condition can mess with your periods

Anything from heart disease and cancer to anorexia and thyroid conditions can affect your cycle. This definitely does NOT mean that any weird period issue is a sign that you have a more serious condition, but just know that if you have any of these conditions, it might affect your flow. And again, if you're diagnosed with any of these conditions, make sure to talk to your doctor about what that might mean for your future fertility (even if you have no plans of getting pregnant just yet).

4- Spotting Between Periods Is Usually No Big Deal.

Some people bleed a little bit during ovulation (around the middle of your cycle), but it can also happen for hormonal reasons or when you're getting used to a new birth control method. It's generally nothing to worry about, but if it happens all the time, tell your doctor.

5- Your period can start ~changing~ as early as your late thirties

The average age to go through menopause is 51, but it's not uncommon to notice some perimenopausal changes in your late thirties or early forties.

6- Passing little clots in your period is normal, too.

They seem like a sign of impending death, but they're actually nothing to worry about. Clots mean that you're bleeding heavily, but it's not an indication of a specific problem.

7- But if you're soaking though a pad or tampon more than every two hours, that might be an issue.

Super-heavy bleeding isn't fun, and it might be a sign that you have a hormonal irregularity, infection, or polyp. So if you're running through pads and tampons like crazy, call your doctor.
