Period questions I’m too embarrassed to ask my mom about:
Is it normal for your period to smell kind of like pickle juice or something like that? Can’t quite place it but it’s somewhere similar.
Is it normal to have a period that sometimes lasts 12 days or more?
Is it normal to have a really heavy flow but no cramps?
Is it normal to have really dark brown or red flow one day and bright red the next?
Is it normal to get several (small) clots a day?
Is it bad that my flow can sometimes get so heavy that when I go to the bathroom it just forms a steady stream of blood into the toilet for about 15 seconds?
Is it normal to wake up and realize that during the night it got smeared around so much that it managed to get on your buttcheeks?
Can you still m@sturb@te on your period without getting it everywhere?
I have several more questions but they’re way too embarrassing, definitely asking this anonymously…
Thanks to anyone who actually answers this despite the embarrassment… some of these I’m genuinely concerned about.
one thing - blood spreading around and going places while you sleep and do things is completely normal you need to be careful and clean those areas and be hygienic
and don’t feel embarassed about it it’s okay to talk and let things clear from wherever you’re doing that
yes you can masturbate on your period but avoid doing that
it requires a lot of energy and things really get messy
but if you feel the urge you can do it
Try getting tested for PCOS if you are having prolonged cycles. You can read up about online and even get online consultations. You don’t necessarily need to talk to your mom if you are uncomfortable. What’s your age btw, if you dont mind telling? Because the symptoms can mean different depending on age as well
I’m 15
Oh… It still shouldn’t be this heavy. Please see a gynaecologist. Even If you are uncomfortable telling your mom about it, just tell her you need general consultation. And you can open up to the gynaec. Please understand your health is much more important than you discomfort
Theres no need to be embarressed to tell your mother, grandmother, or aunts these things. Get over that and just tell them whats happening, girls love to hear about periods, trust me. Its a way women bond. and no no no youre period should not be 12 days
