It’s the start of PERIOD month! How apt that we will be talking about the menstrual cycle for a whole month, since that coincides with an average menstrual cycle. Consider this your cheat sheet for the basics of periods and menstruation, where we tell you about the different stages of the menstrual cycle and period through the different ages of life. We also cover more practical aspects like period blood colours and missed or late periods.
TLDR: Similar to poops, take note of anything that is irregular or abnormal with periods and consult a medical professional if you are concerned.
