| "text": "A menstrual cycle starts on the first day of menstrual bleeding and ends when the next period begins. Estrogen and progesterone levels usually change during the cycle and may contribute to symptoms. Calendar dates alone cannot prove when ovulation occurred, and cycles may become irregular for many reasons. A clinician can evaluate pregnancy or health conditions when periods stop or become irregular." | |

| "text": "ACOG describes cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, bleeding longer than 7 days, bleeding between periods or after sex, and substantial cycle-length variation as patterns that can warrant medical discussion. Potential causes include ovulation changes, fibroids, polyps, bleeding disorders, medications, pregnancy-related conditions, and other health conditions; symptoms alone cannot identify the cause." | |

| "text": "The CDC recommends voluntary, informed contraceptive choice. Relevant comparison factors include safety for the individual's medical history, effectiveness with typical use, availability and cost, possible side effects, user control, reversibility, and how easily a method can be stopped or removed. A clinician or pharmacist can help assess contraindications and medication interactions." | |

| "text": "Most contraceptive methods do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Condoms can help reduce the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and may be used alone or together with another contraceptive method. Emergency contraception is intended for use after unprotected sex or method failure, not as a regular contraceptive method." | |

| "reviewed_at": "2026-08-05", | |
| "text": "A systematic review and meta-analysis found only trivial average differences in exercise performance across menstrual-cycle phases, with large differences between studies and low-quality evidence. The authors concluded that general phase-based exercise rules cannot be formed from the evidence and recommended personalizing training according to each individual's own responses and symptoms." | |
