Western medicine deems the uterus as a “NON ESSENTIAL ORGAN” which is why the health of your menstrual cycle is completely overlooked including your period! How many times have you been told your period or pain is irrelevant! 

In 2016 the American College of Gynaecology and Obstetrics recommended the evaluation of the menstrual cycle to be an additional vital sign. (We are advancing). The female only 5th vital sign, alongside blood pressure, temperature, breathing & heart rate.
