Periods, also known as menstruation, are the natural process of shedding the uterine lining, usually lasting 2 to 7 days, with an average of 5 days. They typically occur every 21 to 35 days. Everyone experiences periods differently, however it is important to know what isn’t “normal”, your period shouldn’t stop you doing the things you would normally do. For example going to school, work, taking part in sports or other activities. If you have any concerns, pain or discomfort during your period or your menstrual cycle, it’s always best to talk to a healthcare professional.
