For some people, it can make everyday activities like bending, lifting, sitting, or sleeping less comfortable.

Menstrual Health

Menstrual health refers to the overall quality and regularity of your cycle, including timing, flow, symptoms, and how you feel throughout the month. A healthy cycle should feel relatively predictable and manageable, without significant disruption to your energy, mood, or daily life. Changes in the menstrual cycle can show up as irregular periods, pain, PMS, heavy bleeding, or symptoms that shift from month to month.
