What is having your period?

In poetry, a verse is a line (a sentence) of a poem, which is found in a stanza. The line rhymes with another phrase in the poem’s stanza. It always begins with a capital letter and is characterized by a fixed number of syllables (between one and twelve).-” data-gt-translate-attributes=”[{“attribute=””>vers[{“attribute=””>vers 13 ans. But it can be earlier or later and it lasts… until around 50 years! Once a month, blood flows between the legs through the vagina, a female organ. Menstruation lasts between two and six days. That depends on the people. Pink, red, brown, thick or liquid… their appearance also varies. Doctors call them the period. But each has its little words to talk about discreetly: poppies, ragnagnas, etc. However, nothing to be ashamed of: the rules are a sign of good health. They indicate that the body is now capable of making a baby.

But the rules are not always fun, right?

It’s true. Stomach cramps, headaches, bad moods, pimples… we associate a lot of worries with menstruation. It happens especially the early years and, in general, it decreases with time. There are also women who are not in pain at all. If the pain is really too strong: go to the doctor, to check that all is well. And the stains on the clothes? Do not panic: there are solutions! Like sanitary napkins or menstrual panties, that limit leaks. There are also cups or tampons that you slip into the vagina. With it, you can even swim. Because you can get your period and still do what you love!
