  During your period it is normal for menstruating females to pass blood clots but not a lot of women understand why. These clots are a mixture of blood and tissue that is shredded from the uterus lining. The amount and the size of a female’s menstrual blood clots can vary depending on her diet and lifestyle choices. According to  Cristiana Sandor , CEO of  Stetho Health Systems  ,“Women are as diverse as our world, and the more we reflect on them the better we can understand their needs.” Not every menstruating woman has the same cycle, and one woman may experience different size menstrual clots than another. Menstrual blood clots form to help the body from losing too much blood. These clots are natural, and usually appear when a woman has a heavy flow. These blood clots are typically bright red as they are passed quickly and do not have time to oxidize. If you are passing clots that are dark in color it can be due to passing clots that are made of old blood. Blood ...

  Roughly 80% of menstruating women experience period cramps. Period cramps can affect a woman’s day-to-day life due to the pain and discomfort women experience from them. For the uterus to shed the unfertilized egg that is released each month during ovulation the uterus must contract to result in cramping. Period cramps don’t have to affect a woman’s day-to-day life though. There are natural ways to combat the discomforts and pain associated with period cramps. Natural ways to combat period cramps: ·  Hydration: Hydration is key. During your period your body can lose a lot of water resulting in dehydration. It is important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to feel your best and reduce bloating which can cause your cramps to become stronger. ·  Heat therapy: The heat helps in relaxing muscles.

  Uterine fibroids are “muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus” according to  Womenshealth.gov . These tumors are noncancerous but can affect the lives of women who do experience symptoms. Not every woman with fibroids will experience symptoms but those that do can experience symptoms such as: · Heavy bleeding · Lower back pain · Frequent urination · Reproductive issues · Bloating in the lower stomach area · Constipation · Vaginal discharge Cause of uterine fibroids: What causes uterine fibroids? The answer is hormones. Uterine fibroids are found to be controlled by estrogen and progesterone. When a woman’s estrogen and progesterone levels are high uterine fibroids grow bigger and when there isn’t a high amount of both hormones the fibroids will shrink in size. After ovulation, a woman’s estrogen and progesterone levels are at their peak and that is typically when she will experience enlarged fibroids. How will I know if I have uterine fibroids?

  Did you know that your period and pregnancy go hand in hand? A period is the result of a female’s body not becoming pregnant during ovulation but when she does become during ovulation a female’s body will no longer menstruate as her body is already prepared for menstruation. Let’s define two words: menstruation and ovulation. Menstruation is the natural process that occurs to a female’s body roughly every 28 days and can last anywhere between 3 and 8 days. Menstruation is the process in which a female’s body sheds the unfertilized egg that was released during ovulation along with the lining of the uterus and blood. Ovulation on the other hand is the process in which a female’s body releases an egg from her ovaries into the fallopian tubes in order to be fertilized. Ovulation can take place 12 to 14 days before a female’s next period. Now that we have defined what menstruation and ovulation you now have a better idea as to why pregnancy and your period go hand in hand. When a fema...

  There are roughly 3.9 billion women in this world. Of those 3.9 billion women, 2.3 billion women lack access to basic sanitation methods. That leaves us with 1.6 billion women that have access to basic sanitation. Of those 1.6 billion women,  according to WaterAid , 800 million women, aging from puberty to 35-40 years of age, are menstruating. If we assume that 30 percent of the 800 million menstruating women use sanitary pads, that will give us roughly 240 million women that use only sanitations pads and 560 million women that use other forms of basic sanitation. Women generally get their cycle for 2 to 7 days, lasting up to 10 days, every month. If menstruating women use 6 sanitation pads per cycle, that is 1.4 billion sanitation pads per month and 16 billion sanitation pads per year that end up in our landfills.    What is a Sustainable Period?    A sustainable period is reducing the amount of waste menstruating women use while on their periods...
