Women usually have questions about the regularity of menstrual cycles. Is it normal to get your period a week earlier? How does one know that you actually have your period and not just spotting? What are the reasons behind irregular bleeding or getting your period on an earlier date?
Vaginal discharge is an important part of the female reproductive system, and a common gynecological complaint that many women have. While it’s normal to experience vaginal discharge to some extent, an increasing number of females report white smelly discharge that’s oftentimes accompanied by additional symptoms such as itching, swelling and burning. Most of the time, these symptoms clearly indicate the presence of a vaginal infection, or vaginitis, that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
If you are between the ages of 11-15, you can expect to get your period for the first time during these years. You can begin having periods that are regular from the start, or you can have irregular periods for a few years until they normalize. Either way, you must have a lot of questions.
When women start puberty it can be very scary. You had to deal with irrevocable changes to your figure. You had to start dealing with the pain, the discomfort, the loss of energy, the irritable mood swings with menstruation every month. Most of all, you had to start dealing with stickiness and wetness in your underwear, everyday.
