What are menstrual myths and how do they affect a girl or woman?

Menstruation was a mystery over a hundred years ago when there was no scientific explanation as to why a female’s body produces a menstrual cycle every month. In current times there are no menstrual myth’s except for that a woman can will her period away. This is not true, a woman can not mentally will away her period one month if she so choose. The body’s menstrual cycle is natural and cannot be controlled.

How long does menstruation last?

The menstruation cycle for each woman is different. The normal cycle will last anywhere between three to seven days. If your period is consistently longer than eight days, consult your doctor to make sure your menstrual cycle is normal. Some women will have longer or shorter periods, this is normal. Each woman’s body will process hormones a little differently, which is what makes them unique.
