Thanks a ton for this 🙂🙂 lots of love 💖 your channel is so much value adding n useful than your daughter's hehe just kidding I m her follower too but life isn't just about styling clothes n looks.. I hope Sejal starts something which is more value adding !!
@@jyotib7830 It's clearly visible how Aunty raised Sejal in a perfect manner. Everyone is like 'Sejal's mom sejal's mom'. But everyone forgot the today's sejal is because of the way Dr.Kumar raised her. She is an ex army Doc and a famous Gynaec Surgeon. Her identity is not Sejal's Mom.
My brother is 11 years old and this year I have had a conversation with him on menstrual cycles. Because, a day before I got to know that a boy in a road have made fun of a girl who had a stain on her skirt. So, I made a diagram and taught him the exact process so that he can understand it is natural and respect the process. I just hope parents and elders talk about periods at home so that the mentality of young ones can be better with time. I'm so thankful that you made a video on this topic Ma'am.
@@shrutigawas8426 Most welcome! I'd like to say something related to this. Every community, caste, religion has good and bad people. We can't judge a whole community because someone did something wrong. If the person has done something wrong he/she should get punished. But calling a whole community gold digger etc is ridiculous. And not every Chakrabarty are same for sure!😃
This is such a valuable step. I have always admired Sejal's mom. But I watched this video, not because of Sejal but because I genuinely need to fill these knowledge gaps.
Vishal i guess u r d only guy in d whole comments section, talking about periods... thankz to u. Lets get some talks in ur channel also with nijula aunt, bonoshree and gunokanto on periods.... b it in your next video or so... more power 2 u...😘
I don't like the fact that even if teacher tell girls about period they tell it taking all girls in another class where they keep boys out. Like seriously i think teacher should tell everyone together because boys should also get to know in small classes that it is very Normal. Edit- i write in starting of the video with my personal experience
I had one suggestion. I think periods is more of a taboo among those who are not well educated. So a video, just in hindi, might reach an audience that actually would benefit a lot from this video.
When you said opportunities missed due to periods 💔 Women are really powerfull 💪 But i hate when i have to think about what to wear and things like that🤐 but its all fine and unavoidable at the end of the day. So just i think its just me time of the month. And makes me feel better.😌
When this year began I bought some plants so as to take idea of what "TAKING RESPONSIBILITY" actually means .... few days after bringing the plants home when I had my periods all the ladies in my home yelled at me and told me not to water them for next few days or else they would die ... I felt low for hours but then I watered them again the next morning and challenged them " me roj ese hi pani dungi inhe dekh lena inme se ek bhi sukha toh " obviously nothing happened to my little plants 😊 ....they faces but a part of them knows these myths are false and need to be discarded
I was in my 6th grade.. When i got my first period.. It was a summer vacation... I still remember that day.. Though i was happy, its the feeling of being a girl.. A woman... Just lovely.. We should all love and accept it.. Its natural 💟 being a woman is wonderful✨
Felt the same when I got my first period in 7 standard.i was so happy cuz periods give me the sense of womenhood on that day . I was jumping and dancing in the washroom cuz of excitement 🤣
I'm just 13 years old girl but I didn't feel awkward or scared when I got periods because my mom and dad explained me that very well and Anjali aunty you are amazing, love you!❤️
Kudos to you Dr. Anjali. The taboo around menstruation is ridiculous. I've done my best to normalize in my family and friends circle. Looking forward for more such educational videos ♥️
Hey, ma'am! I am a 23 year old girl, and in my final year of MBBS. Despite all of that, i have felt more empowered by this video than I have generally. Thank you so much for doing this. It is necessary to be out there. You are a wonderful Doctor. However, I have tremendous dysmenorrhoea during my periods, and hence it becomes difficult for me to even move. I would love to know what you think can be the reasons of such a chronic dysmenorrhoea ever since childhood, considering the fact that I do exercises or yoga since class 4. Keep posting. It's a pleasure to be a part of this journey. ❤️
I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 19. My pain would be so excruciating that I would almost feel like nearly fainting. I would have every kind of medications but they were of no use. Last year in April, I decided to join a gym(though I discontinued in 2 months), my pains were significantly less. As I could not go to the gym anymore, I started making changes in my diet. I would drink apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every single morning, I cut off completely on dairy, fried foods and sugar as much as possible. No aerated drinks or anything until occasionally. Drank 2-3 ltrs water every single day. Also I made sure to do some amount of pelvic exercises like crunches and leg raises, even normal cardio like running. Since last 1.5 years, I'm having pain free periods. Even if I face them some months, they're tolerable and quick set of crunches or leg raises get rids of them.
Ma'am I really want you to clear all the myths regarding periods, like why can't women go to the temple, why can't they cook etc. I really love the way you're bringing up the topic publicly, after all, it's really necessary! Thankyou.
I'm 18 now.. and got my period first time at the age of 12.. Thankfully my mom had educated me about this and made me think this as complete normal. She had informed me about this when I was 9.. and assured me to not worry if this happens to me in near future ( back then) . Hence, when I got it for the first time.. I wasn't scared or surprised at all. I love my mom for this!🤗
I hope my mom was also this much open about periods😌😌. She always taught me to not talk about it in public Or to male members but fortunately i am not like that. I am definitely gonna teach my son about it in the Future 😊
Ever little thing u told is 💯 true.. I cn see this all things in my own home still now... Do this do that.. U don't have to go religious places... Kitchen m km jana.. Pooja n krni.. Why??.. I always put question.. I got answer to it.. We r impure during this time period... But I totally againts it... Thankyou soo much ma'am for this video.. Bring more so that more people get aware of this.. We are pure not impure 😊
I am very lucky that my mom and even my grand mom made me understand before hand. Also, I'm glad I can freely talk to my dad about it. My parents understand the time and mood swings I go through those days and help me smile by icecream and chocolates. I am glad.
I explained my brother about periods when he was curious to know about it . He is 2 years elder then me . Now since then he respects girls regarding this topic . And I clearly say him " I am on my periods , dont disturb me , I have stomach ache " and this very normal for me✌✌

Honestly! I m so excited for the videos from this channel mam, I subscribed because I thought it's a health channel will see if I ever get time but now I m excited for next episode of this series and it's so amazing that u r discussing taboos related to it which is a need for today!
There r chances of getting infected because in temples there are many people & also during that time our energy is different (not +ve or -ve but just diff) Its just for the safety & health of women
Yeah it's a genuine question. Watch Sinu Joseph's video on Sangam talks. She gives you the real reason. Most of the Hindus don't know the shastras and talk crap. It's not about impurities. It's about energies. The thing is during a period if a girl visits a temple she is so pure that the Chaitanya is transferred from the idol to her and the idol looses it's Chaitanya. And when the chaitanya is transferred to a human body the human body does not have the capacity to sustain it. Our temples are not mere prayer halls but they are energy centres built on Agama Shastras. However a women should not be restricted from chanting and she can do the Japas. It's upto you to believe this or not according to your choice. However the Indian society does not understand this and they have created a narrative as most of them have idea on how to do rituals and have no idea of the significance of the rituals. There are temples which worships menstruation like Kamarup Kamakhya of Assam. It depends on the nature of the diety and everything. And other reason they were isolated I think (because I have Carefully observed the mentality of our society) was because they had to do heavy physical work and if they were not isolated in the name of custom then they would have been forced to work and some women who are weak would find it difficult. And another thing is some abusive husbands try to have sex with their wives without consent during periods and they had a tendency to harm their wives. In order to protect women from these kind of men they isolated women to give them their space. But the narrative today that a woman is not pure during periods and treating them like trash is absolutely ridiculous and you should give proper care to a woman during her period. Anyways these days things have changed and some customs of isolation is not relevant anymore.
I have 4 elder brothers who are my best friends! When I got my period, my parents were away. I had no idea what was happening. I am proud of my brothers for handling everything so patiently and explaining everything to me, Thank you, for educating each and every one of us Ma’am. A woman’s menstrual cycle is NOT something to be ashamed of!
Can you make a video about Menstrual cups addressing these issues: 1. Is it safe to use? ( A senior gynaecologist said to me that what needs to come out of the body, has to come out. It shouldn't be stored inside in a cup) 2. Menstrual cup and virginity ( the same doctor asked me as to how I can use it when I am still unmarried as it might tamper the hymen) Also, I practice yoga regularly. Could you please throw some light on what postures(asanas) to avoid during periods? This information coming from a gynaecologist will be very useful! Thank you! Surabhi
I think I have waited for years for someone to talk about periods the way you spoke in this video. It makes me happy that it's coming out in such an accurate and informative manner. Cheers to this effort!! And do talk about the various issues related to periods due to improper diet that most girls and women follow.
When the enemy is hormones and uterus itself and not parents or society... Women suffering from painful periods namely :- Endo and adeno warriors esp will relate.
Wow this is so needed! I just don't get it why even the most educated families in India treat the women in their house differently during their period, and I'm one such woman facing it with my in-laws. It makes me feel sick how what is going on inside my body has to do with anything on how I should be treated outside. We badly need lots of education and awareness to be given in this part not only to the youth but also to the elderly in India. Kudos to you, You're a role model for running a lovely family.
plz do talk about the PERIOD TABOOS- not touching dieties, pickles, tulsi plant, also a lot of things about black magic is written about periods etc if u cn adress such untalked topic it would give us all a clear picture bcoz then we would know what we have to pass to our upcoming generation... and at last thank you for doing what u do
see as far as i know...some of these are actually scientific...like not taking a hair wash is because while taking a hair wash in periods its kinda stressful for u r uterus..hope tht i m making sense....lol
@@mayrakhan6094 yes exactly that's what i think...these age old practices gotta gave some sort of significance they were not made to dicriminate bt to help us women...eg. not cooking food to allow the women to have rest n break from cooking whole month not to visit a holy place to ward off or stay away from evil spirits also as in those times temples n all were built up in hillls so to avoid rough journey as there were no pads back in the days bt now a days ppl have made us to think that its something wrong n it discriminates us from boys...n if some family follows such then they are backward i still think they gotta have some sort of value.... yaa bt we are all against Not allowing girls to go to school or any opportunities in life for any god damn reason let alone periods...that shouldn't happen to anyone.
I feel so luck that when I was in the fifth standard my school had a proper session to understand periods and about pads and how to wear them and that it's very normal and had us prepared mentally at the age of 9!!!!! 😇😇😇😇
Mam please do a video on pcod and how hormanal imbalances can impact us. Also do tell how pcod is linked with thyroid issues and vice versa. What all test we need to keep on check and how to stop increasing weights and excessive hair loss which comes along with it. What tests should be done to understand whether there's lag in vitamins or hormones imbalanced and how to come back to normal health back again
Dharmic , religious se dekho to taboo he....But science ke roop me period dekho to its natural and most important part of woman life which we should celebrate.....So decide what do want to follow dharmic traditions or science of knowledge
Great initiative Ma'am. Very much needed these kind of open talks specially in Indian society and I really appreciate the way you conveyed the message to the audience. Society needs more and more people like you. Thank you! :)
Loved the way you said "we are never down"... This sentence summed up all my aggression and pain when people use various unrelated key words to tell they got periods and don't directly tell 'they got periods'.
Hello Ma'am, You are doing great so far. I want you to talk about Menstrual Cup as it's very useful for our period. There are many many benefits of using it for ex. Its cost affective, environment friendly, no rashes, no tension of having infection, no odour, and many more. But in India very few people know about it and if they know then they are worried about how to use and how it will happen. There are many more questions that women get when they heard about Menstrual cup. It would be great if you make video on it. As a gynecologist you can suggest using Menstrual cup over pad. Thank you ma'am. Love ❤️ from Surat, Gujarat.
Tbh when sejal talked about education given at school secretly only to girls I related. Even in our school the same thing is done. I feel boys need to know about this too. When pains get really bad and theres a male teacher we say that we are having a head ache and the boys say we are weak and cant even take a headache... PERIODS NEED TO BE NORMALIZED, PERIOD.
My mom also dont put any restrictions on me during my periods.. Its very common.. My family is very open minded and they discussed with me about periods at the age of 12 itself... I am very fortunate to have such a family like Sejal Di has And I wish every girl get a family like me..
Thanks a lot for starting the series. It’s most important. Thanks Sejal to intro your mom by starting the episode which you used to do on your channel. Thanks mam.
If it is at or after 8 years its ok.. before 8 it is called precocious puberty and it has other associated coditions also.. so it needs several kinds of testing to be done for underlying reason
Ma'am, later on, please start a series on sex education. We were never taught about it in school and had to turn to the internet. Please educate us on safe sex practices, STIs, etc. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Ma'am you are doing great job.. 👏👏👏 Everybody should know about this, I also have sisters and one day also have daughter then in every phase of life we should understand their problems their needs, as without them our life is hard to imagine...
Well am very luckyy... I was 11 when i got my period and my mom had already briefed me about it when i was 10. And finally when i got the periods and its companions like mood swings and cramps my dad was always there to care for and provide compassion. I've always been able to tell my dad plainly that i got my period... I'd come back from school or college and I'd just declare i got my period and i never felt that it was awkward to say it in front of my dad or wasn't chided for it. And all this was 20 years ago in a very normal middle class family of Indian Small town... But then again.. My dad's very progressive and almost a feminist. Now am 31 and married to an equally sensible and compassionate man. I guess I've been lucky in the men department. lolzzz
You told my story 😀 I am 31, and even now, I just declare that I got periods. My dad used to get sanitary napkins for me earlier. Now my husband is also caring. If there are mood swings, he knows it is due to hormonal changes. Nowadays guys are changing and society is becoming broad minded as well. Hope to see more people like our families. 😀
This is a really good and informative video. I am so happy that finally people are talking about it so openly. This topic should never have been a taboo in the first place but we are breaking stereotypes surrounding it now is a very major step towards betterment of our society.
I'm so glad that people are speaking about it now. Before I had my periods my house was the same hush hush. But my period cramps are so bad every month that I faint. It's definitely no longer hush hush because of that. Waiting for part 2.
Love ! Love! Love! absolutely love this initiative ma'am! Personally I haven't come across open minded doctors in my life. And it's because of doctors like you that people will be able to shun taboos and shame around such essential concerns. I would personally love to know more about the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome as I go through excessive amount of negative emotions, thoughts , low self-esteem and uncontrollable mood swings during this time. And I have not come across any literature which talks about the management of symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome. It's also been declared as a Psychiatric disorder in the DSM-5. Would love to know your views and get guidance from you on it. Thank you.
In 30's , me and a lot of my friends have experienced that the period cycle has gone short.... I am 36... Every month i get my period 4-5 days prior to the date which was in the last month. Is this normal ?? Or does that mean that My menopause is about to begin.... Please guide.
Though Im just 17 and ofcourse you have more knowledge than me but i would like to share with you that my mom also gets her periods 4-5 days prior than the date of last month and its absolutely normal ..(in her case atleast) and my mom is in her 40s and i guess menopause begins in the age of 50 or so.
Thank you for such an initiative on women health. Please add videos on diet one should follow throughout the month so that these period days of 4-5 days feels as normal as possible and symptoms like bloating cramps weakness fatigue can be eliminated. Thank you . Looking forward 🙂
Its very simple to manage pain i have tried it.. Drink lots & lots of water since the first day of period... Warm water is preferred as it relaxes muscles & reduces pain & also by doing some yoga or meditation & simply not thinking about it is helpful. I have tried these things ... Today is my second day & no pain at all even yesterday i had no pain! Just change mindset the mind will automatically shut the pain off😄
Menstural cups Tampons Pads What's more good ? As per health, budget, cleanliness, usage..... How to use them..... What brands good..... Please address info....
Hii Doctor ! I get my periods every alternative month so i just wanted to know wats the reason behind it every gynecologist i go to says when i grow big it will get regular but its been already 4 yrs since ive got them so can u please guide as to why it is so Grateful to be a part of this journey and continue making these videos that can inspire girs ❤Lots of love 💕💕

TALK ABOUT Various options other than pads. Since in india girls are introduced to pads and tampons have this myth that it makes them lose their virginity
Mam! first of all you are such a wonderful woman. Sejal is raised so well by such a strong woman. THANK YOU for enlightening us with your knowledge. I would like to know more about a safe contracenption and the potential side effcts related to it. Also tell us about MENSTRUAL CUPS.
First tym my sister's period started & i noticed that her pant was fully covered with blood & lying on the floor.. Then i showed it to my mom tht may b she started her 1st period & then she told no its not bt i went to the pharmacy & bought a pad & kept inside of my sister's drawer..bt my mom still didn’t want to disclose what she has going through why she gets periods.. Bt i understood & told everything why women gets periods & my mom even didn’t know why she was getting period
There's this OBGYN and she has a youtube channel named Doctor Mama Jones, It's insane how much I learned from her channel. She's really good. While watching her channel I always used to think why isn't anyone from India doing it (Not beacuse someone in the west is doing it so we should do it, but beacuse of the langauagr barrier) as we all know a large percentage in of Indian population can't understand English. Finally, someone is doing it. Hope this channel grows really well and people can learn from this channel.
I still don't understand why elders restrict to touch pickels,wash hair,etc. during the periods.. I mean its natural but it's gonna take a lot more time to really change the mindsets of people

Your mother is so beauty with brains..amazing presentation
Y are women not allowed to visit temples when on periods??How can something so natural and pure be called impure????
I mean yeah
There r chances of getting infected because in temples there are many people & also during that time our energy is different (not +ve or -ve but just diff)
Its just for the safety & health of women
Yeah it's a genuine question. Watch Sinu Joseph's video on Sangam talks. She gives you the real reason. Most of the Hindus don't know the shastras and talk crap. It's not about impurities. It's about energies. The thing is during a period if a girl visits a temple she is so pure that the Chaitanya is transferred from the idol to her and the idol looses it's Chaitanya. And when the chaitanya is transferred to a human body the human body does not have the capacity to sustain it. Our temples are not mere prayer halls but they are energy centres built on Agama Shastras. However a women should not be restricted from chanting and she can do the Japas. It's upto you to believe this or not according to your choice. However the Indian society does not understand this and they have created a narrative as most of them have idea on how to do rituals and have no idea of the significance of the rituals. There are temples which worships menstruation like Kamarup Kamakhya of Assam. It depends on the nature of the diety and everything. And other reason they were isolated I think (because I have Carefully observed the mentality of our society) was because they had to do heavy physical work and if they were not isolated in the name of custom then they would have been forced to work and some women who are weak would find it difficult. And another thing is some abusive husbands try to have sex with their wives without consent during periods and they had a tendency to harm their wives. In order to protect women from these kind of men they isolated women to give them their space. But the narrative today that a woman is not pure during periods and treating them like trash is absolutely ridiculous and you should give proper care to a woman during her period. Anyways these days things have changed and some customs of isolation is not relevant anymore.
@@prithvithefanofindiancultu1765 thanks for the info
@@vandanashenage7828 welcome
I have 4 elder brothers who are my best friends!
When I got my period, my parents were away. I had no idea what was happening.
I am proud of my brothers for handling everything so patiently and explaining everything to me,
Thank you, for educating each and every one of us Ma’am. A woman’s menstrual cycle is NOT something to be ashamed of!
Arya stark ❤️😜
Can you make a video about Menstrual cups addressing these issues:
1. Is it safe to use? ( A senior gynaecologist said to me that what needs to come out of the body, has to come out. It shouldn't be stored inside in a cup)
2. Menstrual cup and virginity ( the same doctor asked me as to how I can use it when I am still unmarried as it might tamper the hymen)
Also,
I practice yoga regularly. Could you please throw some light on what postures(asanas) to avoid during periods? This information coming from a gynaecologist will be very useful!
Thank you!
Surabhi
I think I have waited for years for someone to talk about periods the way you spoke in this video. It makes me happy that it's coming out in such an accurate and informative manner. Cheers to this effort!! And do talk about the various issues related to periods due to improper diet that most girls and women follow.
TOO GOOODDDDD!!❤️
Yooo
I am blessed my mother never stopped me from doing anything during my periods ❤️
When the enemy is hormones and uterus itself and not parents or society...
Women suffering from painful periods namely :-
Endo and adeno warriors esp will relate.
Wow this is so needed! I just don't get it why even the most educated families in India treat the women in their house differently during their period, and I'm one such woman facing it with my in-laws. It makes me feel sick how what is going on inside my body has to do with anything on how I should be treated outside. We badly need lots of education and awareness to be given in this part not only to the youth but also to the elderly in India. Kudos to you, You're a role model for running a lovely family.
plz do talk about the PERIOD TABOOS-
not touching dieties, pickles, tulsi plant, also a lot of things about black magic is written about periods
etc
if u cn adress such untalked topic it would give us all a clear picture bcoz then we would know what we have to pass to our upcoming generation... and at last
thank you for doing what u do
see as far as i know...some of these are actually scientific...like not taking a hair wash is because while taking a hair wash in periods its kinda stressful for u r uterus..hope tht i m making sense....lol
@@mayrakhan6094 yes exactly that's what i think...these age old practices gotta gave some sort of significance
they were not made to dicriminate bt to help us women...eg.
not cooking food to allow the women to have rest n break from cooking whole month
not to visit a holy place to ward off or stay away from evil spirits also as in those times temples n all were built up in hillls so to avoid rough journey as there were no pads back in the days
bt now a days ppl have made us to think that its something wrong n it discriminates us from boys...n if some family follows such then they are backward
i still think they gotta have some sort of value....
yaa bt we are all against Not allowing girls to go to school or any opportunities in life for any god damn reason let alone periods...that shouldn't happen to anyone.
@@anjaligupta6180 correct dude...but i dont agree with not sharing this with men....l
@@mayrakhan6094 yup...we Can share this with men of our family...
Pickels are sour in taste and because of it pain increases that's why it is adviced not to eat sour foods
So true , it should be openly discuss as a human its essential for life in routine, thank you mam u are a real 🌟
I feel so luck that when I was in the fifth standard my school had a proper session to understand periods and about pads and how to wear them and that it's very normal and had us prepared mentally at the age of 9!!!!! 😇😇😇😇
The menstrual cup videos should be a part of this playlist too!
I want my periods to be regular 🥺
Mam please do a video on pcod and how hormanal imbalances can impact us. Also do tell how pcod is linked with thyroid issues and vice versa. What all test we need to keep on check and how to stop increasing weights and excessive hair loss which comes along with it. What tests should be done to understand whether there's lag in vitamins or hormones imbalanced and how to come back to normal health back again
I'm not suffering from PCOD or PCOS bt still my cycle takes 35-45 days. Plz plz help ❤️
Same here
@@archanachaudhary1651 same 😪
Same here
Same here....but mine takes around 2 to 3months...so plzz help🙏
mine to
Pl make this in Hindi as well, I understand English very week and can speak fluently, but this should reach the masses
I want you to discuss about menstrual cups. Advantages & disadvantages
Dharmic , religious se dekho to taboo he....But science ke roop me period dekho to its natural and most important part of woman life which we should celebrate.....So decide what do want to follow dharmic traditions or science of knowledge
This video is such important one! Great work keep going! Love you Mam and Sejal didi! ❤
Great initiative Ma'am. Very much needed these kind of open talks specially in Indian society and I really appreciate the way you conveyed the message to the audience. Society needs more and more people like you. Thank you! :)
I'm literally on my period and this shows up on my feed
A video on feminine hygiene would be really great and informative!
Mam you should have started your channel earlier😊😊
better late than never :)
th-cam.com/video/5u9hdFe3TS0/w-d-xo.html
Loved the way you said "we are never down"... This sentence summed up all my aggression and pain when people use various unrelated key words to tell they got periods and don't directly tell 'they got periods'.
Hello Ma'am, You are doing great so far. I want you to talk about Menstrual Cup as it's very useful for our period.
There are many many benefits of using it for ex. Its cost affective, environment friendly, no rashes, no tension of having infection, no odour, and many more.
But in India very few people know about it and if they know then they are worried about how to use and how it will happen. There are many more questions that women get when they heard about Menstrual cup.
It would be great if you make video on it. As a gynecologist you can suggest using Menstrual cup over pad.
Thank you ma'am.
Love ❤️ from Surat, Gujarat.
Tbh when sejal talked about education given at school secretly only to girls I related. Even in our school the same thing is done. I feel boys need to know about this too. When pains get really bad and theres a male teacher we say that we are having a head ache and the boys say we are weak and cant even take a headache... PERIODS NEED TO BE NORMALIZED, PERIOD.
Mam now-a-days college going girls frequently suffer with irregular periods, talk abt this mam
This is the need of the hour. These women are super strong. ♥️♥️
Srsly my family never talk bout it to me...so thankful here u are...helping me like a mother...thank you so much mam!!💓💞
My mom also dont put any restrictions on me during my periods..
Its very common..
My family is very open minded and they discussed with me about periods at the age of 12 itself...
I am very fortunate to have such a family like Sejal Di has
And I wish every girl get a family like me..
Thanks a lot for starting the series. It’s most important. Thanks Sejal to intro your mom by starting the episode which you used to do on your channel. Thanks mam.
You summed up everything so well ! It’s high time that we all collectively work together to make changes around us and fight against this taboo.
Why is the reason that causes periods at a very early age like 8 years to girls and what is the solution.
If it is at or after 8 years its ok.. before 8 it is called precocious puberty and it has other associated coditions also.. so it needs several kinds of testing to be done for underlying reason
I think this happens because of spicy and masale daar khana you know 😅
Omg Sejal’s mums channel is so so so good and needed !!
I love you doctor & Sejal di ❤️
Ma'am, later on, please start a series on sex education. We were never taught about it in school and had to turn to the internet. Please educate us on safe sex practices, STIs, etc. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Ma'am you are doing great job..
👏👏👏
Everybody should know about this, I also have sisters and one day also have daughter then in every phase of life we should understand their problems their needs, as without them our life is hard to imagine...
Well am very luckyy... I was 11 when i got my period and my mom had already briefed me about it when i was 10. And finally when i got the periods and its companions like mood swings and cramps my dad was always there to care for and provide compassion. I've always been able to tell my dad plainly that i got my period... I'd come back from school or college and I'd just declare i got my period and i never felt that it was awkward to say it in front of my dad or wasn't chided for it. And all this was 20 years ago in a very normal middle class family of Indian Small town... But then again.. My dad's very progressive and almost a feminist. Now am 31 and married to an equally sensible and compassionate man. I guess I've been lucky in the men department. lolzzz
You told my story 😀 I am 31, and even now, I just declare that I got periods. My dad used to get sanitary napkins for me earlier. Now my husband is also caring. If there are mood swings, he knows it is due to hormonal changes. Nowadays guys are changing and society is becoming broad minded as well. Hope to see more people like our families. 😀
This is a really good and informative video. I am so happy that finally people are talking about it so openly. This topic should never have been a taboo in the first place but we are breaking stereotypes surrounding it now is a very major step towards betterment of our society.
Her mother kinda reminds me of Leonard mother from the big bang theory
I'm so glad that people are speaking about it now. Before I had my periods my house was the same hush hush. But my period cramps are so bad every month that I faint. It's definitely no longer hush hush because of that. Waiting for part 2.
Love ! Love! Love! absolutely love this initiative ma'am! Personally I haven't come across open minded doctors in my life. And it's because of doctors like you that people will be able to shun taboos and shame around such essential concerns.
I would personally love to know more about the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome as I go through excessive amount of negative emotions, thoughts , low self-esteem and uncontrollable mood swings during this time. And I have not come across any literature which talks about the management of symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome. It's also been declared as a Psychiatric disorder in the DSM-5. Would love to know your views and get guidance from you on it. Thank you.
How can people dislike such an informative video? Really questionable!
Want to know about menstrual cup..
Is it safe??? How its better from other options??? Is der Any side effects??
th-cam.com/video/5u9hdFe3TS0/w-d-xo.html
Its the only alternative that has no side effects. Unlike pads and tampons which if used for a longer duration at a time can lead to infections.
There is a detailed video on Glamrs TH-cam channel.
Yes, please mam do it.
It'll be very helpful for all the girls and women.
Lots of respect to you ❤😇
In 30's , me and a lot of my friends have experienced that the period cycle has gone short.... I am 36... Every month i get my period 4-5 days prior to the date which was in the last month. Is this normal ?? Or does that mean that My menopause is about to begin.... Please guide.
Though Im just 17 and ofcourse you have more knowledge than me but i would like to share with you that my mom also gets her periods 4-5 days prior than the date of last month and its absolutely normal ..(in her case atleast) and my mom is in her 40s and i guess menopause begins in the age of 50 or so.
Sejal❤❤and her mother is just wow🥰
Plz talk about how one can stop irregular periods and maintain regular flow every month
Thank you for such an initiative on women health. Please add videos on diet one should follow throughout the month so that these period days of 4-5 days feels as normal as possible and symptoms like bloating cramps weakness fatigue can be eliminated. Thank you . Looking forward 🙂
Pain management! How to work or study even with periods!
Its very simple to manage pain i have tried it..
Drink lots & lots of water since the first day of period... Warm water is preferred as it relaxes muscles & reduces pain
& also by doing some yoga or meditation & simply not thinking about it is helpful.
I have tried these things ... Today is my second day & no pain at all even yesterday i had no pain!
Just change mindset the mind will automatically shut the pain off😄
Menstural cups
Tampons
Pads
What's more good ?
As per health, budget, cleanliness, usage.....
How to use them.....
What brands good.....
Please address info....
Hii Doctor ! I get my periods every alternative month so i just wanted to know wats the reason behind it every gynecologist i go to says when i grow big it will get regular but its been already 4 yrs since ive got them so can u please guide as to why it is so
Grateful to be a part of this journey and continue making these videos that can inspire girs ❤Lots of love 💕💕

Hello Doctor,
My periods are irregular...it gets delayed by 10-15 days
Is there anything to worry.
Thank you so much
You might have PCOD/PCOS.
It is pretty normal of u are skinny..atleast for me when I consulted my gynaec she said it was because I was underweight
@@lenorakatherine3845 Underweight ki meaning kya hai??
@@rakshithabubby6005 Calculate BMI Google se dekho
@@rakshithabubby6005 underweight Matlab apka bmi(body mass index) age ke according Kam hai. Agar apko apna bmi nikalna hai toh apko apne height ko metre Mai convert Kar ke uska square Kar ke apne weight se divide karna hai i.e (weight(kg)/height (m^2). Agar apka bmi 18 se less hai then you are underweight!
So freaking grateful that my parents as well as where I live are so open with the topic of periods and menses
TALK ABOUT Various options other than pads. Since in india girls are introduced to pads and tampons have this myth that it makes them lose their virginity
Mam! first of all you are such a wonderful woman. Sejal is raised so well by such a strong woman. THANK YOU for enlightening us with your knowledge. I would like to know more about a safe contracenption and the potential side effcts related to it. Also tell us about MENSTRUAL CUPS.
Please talk about menstrual cups compared to other available options
Dear Dr Anjali Kumar, thank you for making this video. Please make a video specifically on PCOD/PCOS.
First tym my sister's period started & i noticed that her pant was fully covered with blood & lying on the floor.. Then i showed it to my mom tht may b she started her 1st period & then she told no its not bt i went to the pharmacy & bought a pad & kept inside of my sister's drawer..bt my mom still didn’t want to disclose what she has going through why she gets periods.. Bt i understood & told everything why women gets periods & my mom even didn’t know why she was getting period
Too good ma'am keep up the good work. We are proud of you DR.
Mam please talk about how i can educate my younger brothers about this , since i don't want them to treat periods as a taboo ! thank you .
I watched this video and I had to say this: thank you for putting this topic out there in simple explanation.
I get itchiness down there everytime before periods with white fluid.. is this normal?
White discharge is normal but not itchiness it occurs due to disturbed ph balance of vaginal areaa..... Go to a doctor ..❣️
Please visit a doctor because vaginal discharge will result in weakness of bones.
@@nehakhatri9196 really? but its normal!
There's this OBGYN and she has a youtube channel named Doctor Mama Jones, It's insane how much I learned from her channel. She's really good. While watching her channel I always used to think why isn't anyone from India doing it (Not beacuse someone in the west is doing it so we should do it, but beacuse of the langauagr barrier) as we all know a large percentage in of Indian population can't understand English. Finally, someone is doing it. Hope this channel grows really well and people can learn from this channel.
Can you talk about how to maintain regular periods? I have irregular periods
Yahhh same here
I still don't understand why elders restrict to touch pickels,wash hair,etc. during the periods.. I mean its natural but it's gonna take a lot more time to really change the mindsets of people
Tell Abt Menstrual cup benefits and side effects....
There is a detailed video on Glamrs TH-cam channel if you want to check it out.
Aastha H thank you
As a doctor you are doing great❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
