Every month, millions of girls and women experience something completely natural – menstruation, also known as a period. But while it's a routine part of life, the pain and discomfort that come with it often remain undiscussed, ignored, or normalized.

It’s time to change that.

Let’s spread awareness about what period pain really is, why it happens, and most importantly – how to manage it better.

🩸 What Is a Period?

A period is part of the monthly menstrual cycle where the uterus sheds its lining if pregnancy hasn't occurred. It usually lasts between 3 to 7 days and is completely natural. Girls usually start their periods between ages 10 and 15, and they continue until menopause.

😣 What Is Period Pain?

Also known as dysmenorrhea, period pain is the cramping sensation in the lower abdomen that many people experience before and during their menstrual cycle. For some, it’s mild. For others, it’s debilitating.

Common symptoms include:

Cramping in the lower belly
Lower back pain
Headaches
Nausea
Mood swings
Fatigue

🤔 Why Does It Hurt?

During menstruation, your body releases hormones called prostaglandins, which trigger the uterus to contract and shed its lining. These contractions can cause pain, especially when hormone levels are high.

For some girls, the pain is so intense it can affect their school, work, and social life.

💬 Why Period Awareness Matters

Many young girls feel ashamed or scared when they first get their periods. Lack of education, taboos, and myths make it worse. By spreading awareness, we empower girls to understand their bodies and take control of their health.

Here are some common and effective remedies for period pain:

Using a heating pad on your lower abdomen
