Period Problems: When Normal Isn't Normal With Dr. Kendi Kiogora

from A Dose of Health The Podcast · host Dr. Hope Simiyu

Painful periods, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles - most of us have dismissed these symptoms for years with "That's just how it is. Every woman goes through it."This Menstrual Hygiene Day, we're joining the global conversation on what it truly means to be #TogetherForAPeriodFriendlyWorld, and that starts with knowing the difference between what's common and what's actually normal.Dr. Kiogora helps us break down the period problems too many of us have been taught to push through: heavy and prolonged bleeding, debilitating cramps, irregular cycles, severe PMS and PMDD, and the conditions often hiding behind these symptoms: fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and thyroid disorders.We also get into menstrual products (what we’re loving), navigating period symptoms at work, and how to advocate for yourself when your pain keeps getting minimised.A period-friendly world isn't just about access to products. It's about access to information.This one is for every woman who was told their pain is normal, to just cope.
