Every month, a female’s reproductive system repeats itself. The cause of the reproduction is due to a female’s hormones controlling the menstruation cycles.The menstruation cycle lasts anywhere between 37 days and occurs every 21 - 35 days.
If you are planning to contact your doctor, make sure you have the necessary basic information that your physician may ask, such as:
How long does your period last for?
Mark down the days of your period on a calendar for about 3-4 cycles. Then you can average about how long your cycle should last each month. A normal cycle is 21 to 35 days.
How heavy or light is your flow?
If you have been having your periods for a few months, you can tell whether you are going to be having lighter or heavier flows. Keep track of any abnormal discharge, blood clots, or a heavier flow. Don’t be afraid to let your physician know about any abnormalities or changes in your period flow. Some changes can lead to certain conditions and your doctor is there to help.
Attention: Do not be afraid to contact your parents or your physician. The only way to get help is to ask for help from those around you. Every female has to go through puberty at a certain point of their life and should take you seriously when you ask for help.
