Finally Answers to All Your Questions about your Period

Menstruation is a mysterious thing and it can be tough to find all the answers for the questions you are asking. Not only is it awkward to seek out information but it can also be tough to get a straight answer when you do. So let’s just make the entire process easier for us all. Here are the answers to the questions about your period that you need to know, but were too afraid to ask.

Is it Normal for My Libido to go up during My Period?

This is a question that is commonly asked and one that people seem to avoid answering. The simple answer is that it is absolutely normal for sexual urges to increase during menstruation. Increased blood flow throughout your body can cause stimulation and heighten your arousal overall. There is no need to be concerned if your libido goes up. Just take it in stride and deal with it in whatever manner you deem necessary.

Why do I Tend to get Diarrhoea at the Start of my Period?

The very same chemicals that trigger the contractions that happen in your uterus during your period tend to cause contractions in your intestines as well. So don’t be worried if you get diarrhoea, and do not overreact as it is a normal side effect. However this doesn’t mean that you have to deal with it. Taking anti-inflammatory painkillers can not only cut down on pain from cramps but also decrease the chances that you will have to deal with diarrhoea.

Why is My Flow Darker at the End of My Cycle?

This is a matter that concerns a lot of women, but again completely normal. This happens because your body is dispelling blood that has been present in your cervix for an extended period of time. It has been exposed to oxygen over time and thus undergoes a change in color.

That certain time of the month can get a little weird at times, but it doesn’t have to be as tough as you think. Many problems that concern you and cause you to worry are in fact normal and a natural part of the process. The best news is that there are answers to your questions and we are going to help you find them. If you have any burning questions drop us a note and we will help find your answer, hassle free and without judgement. And for now here is an added bonus.

How Can I Deal With PMS Symptoms?

While this won’t be the answer to all your PMS problems, it may be a big help. Recent studies have shown that consuming soy foods and soy products can help you cope with certain annoying symptoms. Before your period comes, or when you are feeling especially irritable, try enjoying foods such as tofu and edamame. Researchers aren’t sure why it helps, but it can’t hurt to try right?
