Menstruation

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, affects millions of women worldwide and is one of the most common causes of infertility. Despite its prevalence, PCOS is often misunderstood, leaving many women struggling for answers.

Hormonal birth control is one of the most widely used methods of family planning, but it does much more than prevent pregnancy. Whether you’re on the pill, patch, IUD, implant, or shot, hormonal contraception can have noticeable effects on your menstrual cycle.

Menstrual cramps, also called dysmenorrhea, are one of the most common complaints among women of reproductive age. While many expect discomfort during their cycle, not all period pain is “normal.” Some women experience cramps so severe they interfere with daily life, work, or school. The key to managing painful periods is knowing when your symptoms are typical and when they signal an underlying condition that requires medical attention.

Most women don’t connect their period with their teeth, but the truth is, hormonal changes influence gum health, saliva, and even how your body responds to bacteria. The connection between oral health and your menstrual cycle is often overlooked but plays an important role in your overall well-being.
