What is abnormal?

In episode 02, our Flow team tackles the myriad of abnormal occurrences that may accompany menstruation.

We get to speak with Dr. Shaveta Malik, OBGYN about all that and more - PLUS we talk about the stigma of period shame, first periods, and resources to learn about the history of disparities in healthcare.

Program Notes:

Menstruators can experience a variety of abnormalities related to their reproductive health. Jessica & Christie talk about menorrhagia (aka heavy prolonged periods), cysts, clotting - and the horror thriller CARRIE. Time for some shame-defying straight talk about extreme periods!
