Wellbeing of women
‘Just a Period’.
Wellbeing of Women charity’s "Just a Period” campaign shares information and resources – giving you answers to your questions about periods and showing you where to find help.
Painful periods and heavy bleeding aren’t ‘just’ signs that you’re on. These may be signs that you need diagnosis, treatment and support for a gynecological condition.
Millions of women, girls and people who menstruate suffer with severe period pain, heavy bleeding or irregular cycles that disrupt their lives. Instead of getting the treatment and support they desperately need, they’re often dismissed and told it’s “just a period”.
This is unacceptable.
Nobody should suffer from period symptoms holding them back.
