At Mná Women’s Health Clinic, we understand how challenging period problems can be for young women. Painful cramps, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, fatigue, mood changes, or ongoing pelvic discomfort are not something you have to simply “put up with.” Your menstrual health matters, and the symptoms you experience deserve proper attention and care.

Our team provides a supportive, judgement-free space where young women can feel comfortable discussing any period concerns. Whether it’s managing PMS, addressing severe pain, investigating irregular cycles, or exploring possible conditions such as PCOS or Endometriosis, we focus on finding real answers and tailored solutions.

Using a personalised approach, we offer comprehensive assessments and guidance designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body and how to manage it effectively. From symptom relief to long-term menstrual health support, we’re here every step of the way.

If your period is impacting your daily life, school, work, or wellbeing, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Support, clarity, and effective care are available. At Mná, we’re committed to helping young women feel informed, empowered, and heard. 💛

Take a Moment for Yourself: Breast Self-Check 💗

Your breast health matters, and getting familiar with your body is one of the best ways to protect it. A self-check is quick, easy, and can make a huge difference. Here’s how to do it step by step:

👀 Step 1: Look in the Mirror
Stand tall with your shoulders straight and hands on your hips. Notice your breasts for any changes in shape, size, or symmetry. Look for skin dimpling, puckering, redness, or changes in your ni***es.

🙆‍♀️ Step 2: Raise Your Arms
Raise your arms overhead and check again for any changes in contour or skin texture.

🛏 Step 3: Lie Down
Place a pillow under your right shoulder. Use the pads of your three middle fingers on your left hand to feel your right breast in small, circular motions. Cover the entire breast and underarm area, using light, medium, and firm pressure to feel different layers of tissue. Repeat on the other side.

🚿 Step 4: Check While Standing or in the Shower
Many find it easiest to do this in the shower. Raise one arm and use the opposite hand to feel your breast in circular motions, covering the whole area from collarbone to ribcage and underarm.

✨ Step 5: Know Your Normal
Breasts can naturally feel lumpy or uneven. The key is noticing any new changes — lumps, pain, swelling, or unusual discharge.

💡 Tip: Do a self-check once a month, ideally a few days after your period ends. Early detection saves lives, so if you notice anything unusual, don’t wait to contact your healthcare provider.

Taking a few minutes each month to check in with your body is an act of self-love and empowerment. 💕 Make it part of your routine - your health is worth it.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This month is a beautiful reminder to care for ourselves and for each other. 💕 Early detection truly saves lives, and knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

Here are a few signs to keep an eye on during your regular self-checks:
💗A new lump or thickened area in the breast or underarm
💗Changes in breast size, shape, or contour
💗Dimpling, puckering, or redness of the skin
💗Nipple discharge that’s new or unusual
💗Pain in one area that doesn’t go away

Most changes aren’t cancer but getting checked early is key.

✨ Take a few minutes each month for a self-exam.
✨ Schedule your routine screenings.
✨ Know your family history.
✨ And most importantly; tag a friend to remind her to check her breasts too. 💞

Together, we can raise awareness, support one another, and make breast health a priority every day not just in October.

🌸 Preparing for Your Daughter’s First Period

Getting her first period can feel exciting, confusing, or even a little scary—for both of you! Most girls start between 9 and 15, usually a couple of years after breast development begins.

How to help her feel ready:
•Talk openly: Answer questions honestly and normalise the experience.
•Track her cycle: Understanding her body helps her feel in control.
•Be prepared: Keep a first period kit handy with pads, underwear, wipes, and a small bag she can carry discreetly.
•Offer reassurance: Remind her that everyone’s timeline is different, and irregular cycles are normal at first.

✨ Creating a supportive, stress-free environment can make this milestone empowering rather than scary.

🔥 Understanding Menopause: Do Symptoms Get Worse Over Time?

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, but it comes with changes that can affect your body and mind. Symptoms don’t always follow a straight path—they can wax and wane over several years.

Perimenopause (the transition phase):
This usually starts in your 40s but can begin earlier. Periods may become irregular, and common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Some women notice mild changes, while others may experience more severe symptoms.

Menopause (12 months without a period):
Hot flashes and night sweats often peak around this time. Mood changes, anxiety, and sleep problems can be more noticeable. Every woman’s experience is different—symptoms may be intense for a few months, or they can last several years.

Postmenopause (after menopause):
Many symptoms, like hot flashes, begin to ease. However, some long-term changes may persist, including:
•Vaginal dryness or discomfort
•Urinary changes
•Bone density loss and increased risk of osteoporosis
•Changes in metabolism or weight

Key factors that influence symptoms:
•Genetics (your mother or sisters’ experiences can give clues)
•Lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and diet
•Underlying health conditions

💡 Management:
While menopause is natural, there are ways to reduce symptoms and support long-term health. Options include lifestyle changes, non-hormonal treatments, and, in some cases, hormone therapy. Tracking your symptoms can help guide your healthcare provider in finding the best approach for you.

Remember: Every woman’s menopause journey is unique. Understanding what’s happening in your body is the first step toward feeling empowered and in control.

🩺 How PCOS Is Diagnosed

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) can’t be identified with a single test. Healthcare providers diagnose it by looking at several factors together:

Menstrual History: Irregular cycles - shorter than 21 days, longer than 35 days, skipped periods, or very heavy bleeding, can indicate that your ovaries aren’t releasing eggs regularly.

Physical Symptoms: Signs of excess androgens (male hormones) may include excess facial or body hair, severe acne, thinning hair on the scalp, or darkened skin patches in body folds.

Blood Tests: Hormone levels are measured to detect imbalances, including androgens (like testosterone), LH and FSH (which control ovulation), and sometimes insulin or thyroid levels, since these can affect cycles.

Ultrasound: A pelvic ultrasound can reveal enlarged ovaries with multiple small follicles, often called cysts. However, not everyone with PCOS has visible cysts, and having cysts alone doesn’t confirm the diagnosis.

Doctors combine your cycle history, physical signs, blood work, and sometimes ultrasound results to make a diagnosis. Early recognition can help manage symptoms and support long-term health.

🌸 Unusual Periods Are More Common Than You Think
Skipped cycles, very heavy bleeding, spotting between periods, or sudden changes in your flow aren’t always “normal.” These changes can be caused by hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, PCOS, fibroids, or other underlying conditions.

Paying attention to your cycle is key, it can tell you a lot about your overall health. If something feels off, tracking your symptoms and talking to a healthcare professional can make a big difference.

💡 Tip: Keep a period journal for a few months - note flow, pain, mood changes, and irregularities. Patterns often help identify the root cause.

Wondering what’s the best exercise for the menopause belly?

The truth is, there isn’t one magic move. A mix of strength training, cardio, and core work is most effective.

Strength training builds muscle and supports metabolism, while walking, swimming, or cycling improve overall health.

Pairing this with balance and flexibility exercises helps you feel strong, confident, and in control through menopause. 🌿✨
