It can be confusing and challenging to navigate and understand your menstrual cycle. From establishing what a normal period looks like, to menstrual conditions like anaemia, endometriosis and fibroids.

In our AXA Health Chats video, Jan Vickery, our AXA Health propositions lead, joins colleague Dr Nikita Patel, head of propositions and a registered GP, to talk about period health. They share their professional knowledge and opinions, so you can learn more about your menstrual cycle and find out when you should consider seeking medical help.

Watch more of our AXA Health Chats series in our video hub, along with our Mythbusters and Health FAQs.

It can be overwhelming to know what to ask in your GP or specialist appointment and to keep track of all your symptoms and cycle dates. Fill in our menstrual health checklist and take it along with you, so you’re prepared for the questions you might be asked and you’re equally armed with what to ask in return.
