blood and other substances lining the womb, through the vagina. Lasts for 5 - 7 days. Can lead to uncomfortable situations if it begins in a public place, such as school and there'
s no tampons or pads on hand.
A common misconception regarding menstruation is that all females become moody and psycho during that time of the month. This is untrue. Not everyone suffers from
PMS. It is also something that is not to be taken lightly if
one DOES suffer from overbearing
PMS.
Other things that can occur druing menstruation:
- cramps (abdominal
pain)

Menstruation occurs throughout the majority of a
female's lifetime, starting at puberty and ends with the onset of menopause.
When a
female begins menstruating, it is cause for either celebration or lamentation.
