On this weeks episode of Ask Dr Jessica, we welcome Dr Sara Twogood to discuss menstruation.  We review the most common questions I hear about periods. We talk about how to treat menstrual cramps, menstrual irregularity and what can be expected throughout puberty.  Dr Twogood also explains the various options to manage periods---pads, tampons, menstrual cups and even period underwear.  If you are a parent of a preteen/teenage female, this episode will be a great primer for general menstruation questions.

Dr Twogood is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and is available by appointment at (310) 423-1224.  To find out more about Dr Twogood, check out her blog!  https://ladypartsblog.com
