How a woman maintains her feminine hygiene here in America may be a little different than how a woman in a developing country maintains her feminine hygiene.

  According to the Mayo Clinic , roughly 1 percent of women experience premature menopause. Premature menopause is when a female experiences menopause before the age of 40. Women typically experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause occurs 12 months after a woman’s last period, meaning that she no longer has a menstrual cycle. The main cause of premature menopause is that a woman’s ovaries stop producing normal levels of hormones. Premature menopause is often induced because of life-threatening conditions or genetic conditions. Reasons why menopause is induced: · Chemotherapy · Radiation · Autoimmune disorder · Health Conditions How is menopause induced? Menopause can be induced when a woman’s ovaries are removed, or her menstrual period stops due to damage of the ovary by medical treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation.   Symptoms of premature menopause: Some women may experience premature menopause that is not induced.

  It is suggested that when using a sanitary pad, you should change your sanitary pad every 4 to 6 hours. This time frame is suggested whether you are bleeding heavily or barely any at all. Changing your pad every 4 to 6 hours is important to prevent unwanted leakage, bacteria overgrowth, skin irritation, and odor.   The vaginal area sweats and grows bacteria just like any other place on your body. During your period bacteria can overgrow quickly and using a sanitary pad cause bacteria to be trapped. Changing your pad frequently can help prevent bacteria from overgrowing reducing infections, odor, and skin irritation in your intimate area. Though it suggested changing your sanitary pad every 4 to 6 hours some women may need to change their sanitary pad more often.   Reasons you may need to change your sanitary pad more often than usual:   · Heavy Flow: Some women have heavier flows that may make them change their sanitary pads more often through the day than a wom

  Your period can be a dreadful thing that you do not look forward to every month. The pain, discomfort, and vulnerability (the list goes on) that is associated with menstruation can make it dreadful, and does a female look forward to menstruating? I personally never look forward to my period and every time I get it, I count down the days until it is finished. Not every woman may feel this way but more times than often if you ask a woman if she looks forward to getting her period, she will say no. Preparing yourself for your period can help take away the dreadfulness and stress of menstruation and help you feel prepared. When you are feeling your best and you’re prepared for your period it can take away the feeling of “Ugh I am getting my period” and change it to “Okay I am getting my period and I am ready for it”. Though it still isn’t the most exciting time of the month preparing for it can make it almost feel that way.   Ways to Prepare for your period: · Stock up on your favorite m

Foods to eat to maintain proper vaginal health: · Cranberries: Whether it is in juice form, pill form, or unprocessed and natural cranberries can help fight off bacteria. I am sure you have heard people say to drink cranberry juice if you have a UTI, this is because cranberries have acid compounds that fight off bad bacteria found in the vaginal area · Probiotics: Probiotics help the vaginal area maintain a balanced pH level. A healthy vaginal pH ranges between 3.8 and 5.0 and one way to keep it around that number is by eating probiotics such as yogurt which contains the same good bacteria as your vagina.

  During menstruation, a female’s hormones change and affect the body in different ways. Some hormone levels are higher than others while other hormones may have lower levels but throughout your menstrual cycle hormones fluctuate. A female’s menstrual cycle is regulated by 4 main hormones: luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and two sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): The luteinizing hormone starts ovulation. When your LH levels increase it triggers your ovary to release a mature egg and this is known as ovulation. During ovulation is when the female body is the most susceptible to pregnancy occurs around the second week in a female’s menstrual cycle and can last only 24 hours. Your LH levels are the highest 12 hours before ovulation, and they are the lowest when a female begins her period.

This last symptom lasts up until the last day of the period and sometimes even a few days after my period. Other symptoms that I experience are mood swings and abdominal cramping. My mood swings can be extremely bad. One second, I can be the happiest person alive, and then the next I can be cryi

Imbalanced meaning there could be more of one hormone than the other or less of one hormone than the other.
