Periods and coping with them is something which every girl and women will have to do and there are many downsides to having them, while some women will be extremely lucky and only have very light periods for a day or two with no problems some women suffer horrendously for a week with heavy bleeding, severe cramps and a blinding headache.
All of these while being bad are in fact the norm for some women and are just something that has to be put up with and dealt with in the best way possible. Most of the symptoms however stressful they may be are only natural and are nothing more than the menstrual cycle.
