Symptom #7: Worsening Symptoms During Menses
Menstruation, or the monthly period, refers to the regular discharge of the lining of the uterus and blood through the vagina. Menarche (first period) usually begins around the age of 12 to 15. However, it may begin as early as 8 years old.
Menstruation occurs based on the menstrual cycle where the hormones rise and fall. This cycle causes the thickening of the uterus, promoting the growth of an egg released for fertilization and implantation. When fertilization and implantation fail to occur, it results in menstruation. There are several female patients who claim that their symptoms of urethritis worsen during menstruation. This may be due to the different levels of hormones during that time.
