women period

Women’s periods refer to the monthly menstrual cycle that most women experience in their reproductive years. During a period, the body sheds the uterine lining, which is the tissue that grows each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. The period typically lasts between 3 to 7 days, but can vary depending on the individual. For example, some women have longer or shorter periods, while some women experience more cramping or heavier bleeding than others. During a period, it is common to experience mood swings, fatigue, and bloating. It is estimated that women around the world will experience around 450 periods in their lifetime. To give an analogy, a period is like a car’s check engine light – it’s a sign that everything is running smoothly and that the body is working correctly.
