Life-cycle discomforts

Despite being a procrastinator when it comes to having a good diet and maintaining a regular exercise routine, I am still thankful that I am generally healthy. Yup I can say this confidently since I had a general medical checkup early this year, and so far my health is OK according to the doc. The only thing that concerns me is my monthly period which causes me some discomfort and pain, sometimes it’s bearable but other times, I had to rest and refrain from work the whole day. Tsk, that’s part of being a woman, yeah? We will be going through phases like these such as having some bad PMS and other life-cycle changes.

Anyway, some say these conditions are just psychological. Even my mom said she didn’t go through any menopausal discomforts like what others described. Nope, she was not using any progesterone creams or any other medications. She said she went through the phase normally without any symptoms at all. Aside from the so-called psychological aspect as my mom said, being fit and healthy also lessens the possibility of life-cycle discomforts most women experience.
