Learn About Your Period Health
What is period health?
Let’s make sure we’re all on the same page - what exactly is a period?
A period, also known as menstruation, is the normal monthly bleeding from a woman’s vagina.1 A period occurs when the inner layer of the uterus sheds; if there is no pregnancy, this typically happens every month or so in female bodies.2
Not every period is the same.1 Below are things you should pay attention to when monitoring your period health.3
The quality of your period can tell you a lot about your health. Periods that are heavy and painful, are long, or don’t come every month could be a sign of a health problem.3
Let’s talk about periods
How we speak about our period matters. Choosing the right words can help to fight period stigma and change behavior. This glossary, created by PERIOD. and Madamí, with support from Myovant Sciences and Pfizer, can help you find the right words to describe your period.

Take charge of your health
There’s a lot of misunderstanding about what is a “normal” period. Period stigma, or taboo, from society can make it difficult to talk about your period and understand if you might need help.4 It is important to be able recognize signs of a problem and talk openly about your period without feeling embarrassed.
Below are common things that women might think about their menstrual health.
My heavy, painful periods are normal.
Many women who experience heavy bleeding become so used to it that their struggles seem normal to them.6 While some discomfort during your period is normal, severe pain and heavy bleeding on a consistent basis is not.
If you find that your period pain is impacting your daily life or preventing you from doing the things you enjoy, it’s time to talk to your healthcare provider.
I don't need to talk about my menstrual health.
More than 3 out of 5 people (>60%) believe that period stigma, or taboo, exists in society.4 Because people don’t talk about periods often, many women aren’t even aware of uterine health conditions, or that they might be at risk.6 This makes it difficult to recognize abnormal bleeding.
Your discomfort should not be dismissed; you deserve to know what’s really happening with your body and what might be causing it.
I have to handle my period on my own.
About 1 in 5 women (20%) feel uncomfortable talking to their healthcare provider about their period.4 Some people may feel like they’re making a big deal out of nothing.6
Know that your concerns are valid, and you don’t have to deal with period problems on your own. If you feel unheard, feel empowered to seek out a healthcare provider who is ready to listen and help. It’s time to talk about uterine health and be honest about your experience.
Flag Your Uterine Health Conditions
Know when to flag your flow
Periods can be troublesome overall so it may be hard to know when to raise a concern with your healthcare provider. Below are some common period problems for you to consider.1 If you're experiencing any of these problems on a regular basis, or if you're not sure whether what you're experiencing is a problem, talk to your healthcare provider about it.
*On average, a woman loses about two to three tablespoons of blood during her period and changes a pad/tampon every few hours.5 †Pain commonly occurs with periods and is difficult to measure. Some women may feel heaviness in the abdomen, while other women may experience severe cramps.1 ‡Irregular typically means less than 24 days or more than 38 days from the first day of your last period up to the start of your next period.1 §A negative life impact occurs if your period makes it hard to do daily activities, such as going to work or school.1
Uterine fibroids
When your flow is too heavy to be easily managed, it is called heavy menstrual bleeding. Heavy menstrual bleeding may be a red flag for a more serious condition.2
Endometriosis
The truth is, periods are often uncomfortable; most women report experiencing some pain during menstruation. While menstrual pain, also called dysmenorrhea, in some form is common, severe menstrual pain should be evaluated.7,8
