In Summary


    Staying healthy and comfortable during your period starts with good hygiene and self-care. Change sanitary products regularly—every 4 to 6 hours—to prevent infections.

    Eat balanced meals rich in iron, fruits, and vegetables to replenish lost nutrients and boost energy. Stay hydrated and limit caffeine or salty foods, which can worsen bloating.

    Light exercise like walking or yoga can ease cramps and improve mood. Prioritize rest and manage stress through relaxation techniques.

    If pain is severe, over-the-counter pain relievers or a warm compress may help.

    Most importantly, listen to your body—every period is different, and your comfort comes first.
