Periods; as soon as it's over... it's back again! On average, the female cycle reaches the menstruation phase every 28 days. Perhaps you are already dealing with a number of symptoms and are suffering even more. Which type of period you belong to depends on your hormonal balance and external influences.

The female cycle usually begins with menstrual bleeding every month. Sometimes accompanied by abdominal cramps, leg pain, backache and severe fatigue, performing at work can be challenging.
