On this weeks episode of Ask Dr Jessica, we welcome Dr Sara Twogood to discuss menstruation.  We review the most common questions I hear about periods. We talk about how to treat menstrual cramps, menstrual irregularity and what can be expected throughout puberty.  Dr Twogood also explains the various options to manage periods---pads, tampons, menstrual cups and even period underwear.  If you are a parent of a preteen/teenage female, this episode will be a great primer for general menstruation questions.
