For aeons, women have heard several things about periods, some true, and others, utterly false. Here are six myths we should do away with because it is 2023.
‘Just Like’ Period Pain
Period pain is not just like any other pain. Do not believe if anyone says so. Each person has a different experience, and it can get excruciating.
Period Blood Is Dirty
Period blood is not dirty. It is a source of new life. In fact anything, period blood helps to flush out toxins from the body.
Only Women Get Periods
This is the biggest myth the world has about periods. Not only women, but men, transgender women and other people also menstruate.
No Sex During Periods
If you have heard that period sex is a no-no. The person has not tried it yet. You can have sex during periods using contraception to reduce the risks of infections.
Periods Are Gross
Periods are only gross if you do not like the sight of blood. It is like pee or stool that you pass every day.
Pregnancy During Periods
If you believe that you cannot get pregnant during periods of unprotected sex, you are wrong. Therefore, do not do away with contraception.
