Menstruation or periods is a monthly phenomenon common to all women on earth. Menstruation begins when a girl attains puberty (i.e. at the age of 13-14) and continues until menopause occurs (i.e. at the age of 45-50). The beginning of menstruation signals the start of a girl's womanhood and the time period between the inception of menstruation and end of menstruation or menopause marks the fertile phase of a woman.

Once menstruation commences, it occurs every month, continues for 4-7 days and is also referred to as the monthly menses or periods. Woman has been chosen by nature to bear child and allow her progeny to continue. This is why it is customary for her uterine walls to thicken and become cushion-like in anticipation of a pregnancy. When that does not happen, the contents of the uterus break off, disperse and are expelled through the vagina in the form of monthly menstruation. Once the monthly periods end, another such cycle begins. Proper menstruation cycles are a sign of sound womanly health. But the story is not so pleasant for all. There are several menstruation related problems which many women face.
