Change in Your Menstrual Cycle? Your Body May Be Telling You Something! by Dr. Heidi Renner

Our monthly periods can tell us a lot more about our bodies than just if we are pregnant or not. Any change in menstrual periods should be discussed with your doctor, including:

• new-onset menstrual irregularity
• heaving bleeding 
• absence of menses

Also, if there is a strange vaginal discharge or strong odor, these could be symptoms of an STD or vaginal infection that will need further testing and possible treatment with an antibiotic. Pay attention to your body, and always consult with your personal physician.
