In this episode, Jocelyn “The Vagina Doc”, helps women who are trapped or disconnected from their bodies MOVE, FEEL and LOOK. Together with Kelli the host they discuss the issues that most women face during their period and how to take care of our pelvic health in this podcast episode.
Cramps or cramping are the most common issues faced by women when they have their period to get the blood out of your uterus, the muscles tighten and relax. That’s the sharp ache you feel between your stomach and lower back.
Cramps can start before your period and last throughout the bleeding process. If they feel mild, like someone’s giving your ovaries a solid squeeze, it’s normal. Try an over-the-counter medication for pain relief. If they take your breath away or have you doubled over in pain, check in with your doctor.
Getting your period is a fact of life for most women. But every woman’s period is different. So how do you know if yours is causing problems that it shouldn’t?
