Question

• What does it mean for someone to ‘own their period’?

Answer

• Everyone’s experience of their period will be unique. Owning your period is understanding what a “normal” period is for you – for example, how long and how much you bleed.

• It is really important to know what is “normal” for you so you can be aware of any changes or missed periods.
• Any changes or missed periods should be discussed with a doctor or nurse.

• If someone knows how their period affects their body and their mood, it can be really empowering as most problems can be resolved when they’re identified and discussed with a healthcare professional.
