First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. For your information, the menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days. The cycle can last from 21 to 35 days in adult women and 21 to 45 days in young adolescents.

Rising and falling hormone levels will control the menstrual cycle every month. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels (“female hormones”) begin to increase. Estrogen plays an important role in maintaining your health, especially by helping you to build strong bones especially as you age. Estrogen also makes the lining of the uterus thick. This lining of the uterus is used as a place to fertilize the embryo in the event of pregnancy. At the same time the lining of the uterus will expand, the egg or ovum, inside one of the ovaries will begin to mature. On the 14th day of the 28-day average cycle, the egg will depart from the ovary and this process is called ovulation.

Get through that time of the month comfortably without leak.
