A member asked:
Is the second day of your period the heaviest and most painful? if so, why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the time: Most women find that their second day of period is heaviest and most crampy. It is just that the withdrawal of hormones peaks on second day and most of the uterine lining is shed after maximal hormone withdrawal and vessel constriction. However, some women have different pattern and whatever is normal for each individual is acceptable within the normal range
