Why are there so many issues that go along with having a period?!

There aren't, none of these things are part of menstruation, they are possible effects of hormonal changes but they are all totally avoidable - if you don't like loss of appetite, zits, being moody, getting diarrhoea, being gassy, getting menstrual cramps...do something about it!

Hormones can effect people differently, and if there is something going on with your hormones or you're not healthy then it can go wrong like this, where you experience just negatives rather than the positives of menstruation. Sorry but I honestly don't understand why women complain about periods yet do nothing to resolve problems like this.

Not to mention irritability, interupted sleep, over heating, sore and swollen breasts,bloating, mood swings, sweating and so on and so on................oh the joys of bieng a woman!

Not a problem if you get birth control.

If you really wanna know why.
