Menstruation is a normal part of human biology, yet many people grow up with incomplete information, embarrassment, myths, and unanswered questions.
Understanding Menstruation by SB Luwang provides a practical introduction to periods and menstrual health—from the first period through the reproductive years and into menopause.
The book explains how the menstrual cycle works, what hormones do, why periods can hurt, how menstrual products differ, and how to recognize changes that may need medical attention.
Readers will learn about puberty and menarche, menstrual hygiene, period pain, PMS and PMDD, heavy bleeding, irregular and missed periods, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, nutrition, exercise, fertility, pregnancy, contraception, postpartum menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause.
The book also challenges common menstrual myths and explains how parents, teachers, partners, and teenagers can talk about periods without shame.
Practical sections include menstrual trackers, product comparisons, symptom-recording tools, warning-sign guidance, FAQs, a glossary, and trusted health resources.
