YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Why am I gaining weight around my period?

 
Don’t you just love all this growing-up stuff? Well, fortunately, your weight gain is only temporary. It’s your body retaining water, so it’s normal to pack on a couple of extra pounds, but you’ll shed them as soon as your period is over. To lessen the bloats, avoid salty foods, exercise and, oddly enough, drink more water! It helps to flush the excess fluids out of your system.

Is it true that girls who are athletic have lighter periods? And if it is true then is there something wrong with me or something I should be worried about because I am annoyingly active but my period is really heavy.

Mod mod when I get my period it seems like I get abunch of extra b.o. Is this normal or like hormonal stuff

 

Hey girlie, I've never heard of that before but it could totally be normal hormonal stuff. It might just be the way that your body reacts to your period.

Dear Mod,
Ok so I have two HUGE questions, My best friend let's call her "Sydney", has the same Cup and Band size and we are around the same height, and she's a few months younger than me but since that, { She has her period, I don't } but will her period last longer since she's taller? Or shorter?
And will it be heavy? or lighter...
2. I still don't have my period, and my mom and I aren't exactly close, {Since I just FINALLY got her to buy me a bra} but my discharge is getting a little bit thicker and we are out of pantyliners and I'm afraid to ask her to get them for me...
Please help me Frown - Panty Problems.




As for the period question, its different for everyone and theres no exact science to how long theyrll last based on physical characteristics. So theres no right answer for that question. Now for the pantyliners question i suggest you write it on the shopping list so she sees you need more. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I have a few questions !

 

Hey girl,

1. No, that will not stop your period. Nothing can really stop it; it's a natural part of life and after a few days each month it will end. 2. An infection will not stop your period but if you have one you need to see a doctor or gynecologist so that you can take care of it with medicine (probably cream, I think). At least ask your mom if you think you might have an infection. 3. Yes, you can be flat chested and have a period — girls go through the stages at different levels and some adults can even be kind of flat-chested. 4. Your period comes out of a different hole than your pee. 5. You are probably sweating down there; there are sweat glands in that area, as there are sweat glands in other parts of your body.
