What is a Period?
Step 1 of 6
A period (also called menstruation) is when your body releases the lining of your uterus. This shows up as blood that comes out through your vagina.
It happens about once a month and usually lasts 3-7 days. It's a completely natural part of growing up!
Fun fact:
Most people with a uterus will have about 450 periods in their lifetime!
