Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that happens as part of a woman's monthly cycle. The cause of the pain is usually having too many prostaglandins, which are chemicals that your uterus makes. These chemicals make the muscles of your uterus tighten and relax, and this causes the cramps. The pain can start a day or two before your period. It normally lasts for a few days, though in some women it can last longer.

Thank so much that was informative i just want to touch on the reusable pads how far are with the implementation of that idea because even though i am a guy , i really appreciate that since our sister especially in the rurals are still using surgically unclean material for their periods which really compromises their Health .
Dear User, Period pains depends individually, Its possible that it could help you but not help the next parson. If it is severe we highly encourage you to visit a nearest hospital.

Thanks for the educational script on menstruation. Got a question. I read somewhere that the process of pad making involves the input of certain chemicals, these are those that change blood from red to greenish when you've worn the pad for too long. This is said to cause certain cancers. Isn't there a way to ensure that during the pad making, such chemicals are rinsed off the pad to minimize the sicknesses?
Dear user, the turn of the Blood into greenish is a sign of that you have used the pad above the expected time, you have to change your sanitary pads at least once every four hours to keep yourself safe from infection and discomfort.

Dear user, Your menstrual cycle can say a lot about your health. So it's a good thing that you are tracking your menstrual cycles, that help you to understand what's normal for you, time of ovulation and to identify important changes — such as a missed period or unpredictable menstrual bleeding. While menstrual cycle irregularities usually aren't serious, sometimes they can signal health problems, But at your case it is highly recommended that you visit a nearest health facility, to find out more on your situation.
