How To Help Her During Period

The Menstrual Phase. The menstrual phase is the time when she has her period. It can last anywhere from 1 to 7 days, depending on her body. Some women have even longer periods, though it’s not nearly as common. What happens during this phase is that her uterus begins to shed its lining — this is where her period blood comes from. Though it may seem like she’s bleeding a lot, most women only release between 2 and 3 tablespoons of blood each period. Having cramps is a normal, albeit unpleasant, symptom during this phase. They are caused by her uterus contracting in order to shed the lining.

Women experience a range of symptoms during their periods: cramps, bloating, constipation, headaches, and mood swings. Watching someone close to you go through this can make you feel helpless, but there are some things you can do to make her feel better. Tackle some of her physical symptoms first by offering over-the-counter medications and fiber-rich foods. Then be there for her emotionally by being kind, supportive, and helpful around the house.
