In episode 04 “What else could it be…?” our Flow team takes a look at other conditions that affect menstruation.

Christie and Jessica speak with Nkem Osian of The White Dress Project (fibroids advocacy organization @wecanwearwhite) and learn about PMDD / PCOS / other menstrual-acronyms from the incredible edu-tainer Doctor Kerry-Anne Perkins (@callmedoctor.p)!

Program Notes:

Menstruators can experience extreme conditions - sometimes after years of regular cycle bleeding and sometimes only after long-seeking a diagnosis… Flow’s Christie & Jessica have discussed normal, abnormal, and disordered menstrual-bleeding - in this episode they discuss “What else could it be…. that’s going on with this body?”
