Yahya Ibrahim – Heart to Heart – Puberty

			stress or poor nutrition may alter your pattern as well.
		

			altering the pattern, I mean by getting you a period later than expected. You may have heavier or
lighter menstrual flow than usual. You may get longer or shorter days as your normal. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, No tiredness, exhaustion, worry, grief or harm befalls the
believer in this world, not even a form that pricks except that Allah removed some of his or her
sins because of it. Knowing this, it gives us the comfort that
		

			all these PMS symptoms that bother us in sha Allah is actually an opportunity for Allah to purify
us. So how do you manage these symptoms
		

			you may massage your stomach
		

			with a DA calling to Allah to remove your discomfort.
		

			You may want to use a hot water bottle to relieve some of the discomfort. Taking a warm shower
		

			helps
		

			drink warm fluids.
		

			A practice back where my parents came from in China.
		

			They give gross a tea made from ginger and brown sugar and water. They brew it and many people use
it and they swear by it.
		

			Take a balanced diet. You can do some gentle exercise and allow yourself enough sleep. If you're
feeling tired, your body is telling you that you need to take sufficient rest.
		

			You may want to speak to an adult to be guided on what to expect
		

			such as what sanitary protections are available.
		

			And you may want to carry some spare sanitary pads in each of the bags so that you won't be caught
off guard.
		

			If you don't have a pad, ask for help from a female teacher or the school nurse. Some schools and in
public toilets. They have vending machines have sanitary pads for purchase
