Menstruation, often known as a woman’s period, is the monthly loss of blood and uterine lining that occurs in females. On average, this occurrence takes place once each month.
Menstruation typically begins sometime between the ages of 11 and 14 and continues until a woman reaches menopause, which typically happens sometime between the ages of 51 and 55. Menopause typically occurs between these ages. The average time span ranges somewhere between three and five days.
Aside from the most visible one, which is bleeding from the vaginal canal, additional indicators of menstruation include the following:
• Pain that originates in the lower abdomen or pelvic and spreads to other parts of the body
Experiencing a dull ache across the back, but particularly in the lower region.
The symptoms include breast soreness and distention in the abdomen region.
• Having a strong desire to consume food.
• Emotional instability and an increased sensitivity to stimuli.
•Weakness and frequent headaches.

When a woman is experiencing her period, there are certain activities that she should avoid doing. These activities include:
The following is a list of them for your reference:
1. Refrain from lighting up.
It is possible that smoking cigarettes will shorten the length of your menstrual cycle. To a similar extent, women who smoke heavily are more likely to suffer from painful menstrual cramps.
2. Try to limit how long you stay on the pad.
If pads are not changed on a regular basis, there is a significantly increased risk of rashes and vaginal yeast infections, both of which can result in an unpleasant odor (at least every 6-8 hours).
3.Never drink alcohol.
A correlation has been established between excessive alcohol use and cyclical changes in the menstrual cycle. Consumption of alcohol may produce a transient rise in estrogen and testosterone levels, which may interfere with the natural fluctuations in hormone levels that are necessary for ovulation. Because of this, you can have problems with your menstruation becoming regular.
Ladies, if you want to keep your health in good shape, you should avoid engaging in these activities.
