Does your period get heavier as you get older?
Does your period get heavier as you get older? One study found that among women ages 42 to 52, more than 90% experienced periods that lasted 10 days or more — with 78% reporting their blood flow as heavy. This is because when women approach menopause, there are fewer eggs to mature in the ovaries.
What is a period for boys?
Unlike the female reproductive system, boys do not have uterus and thus menstruation cannot occur. Therefore, it is biologically impossible for boys to have periods. However, boys during puberty may undergo mood swings or other emotional changes due to changing levels of the male sex hormone testosterone.
