People have been having periods since the world began. But where you fall generationally has a great impact on how you talk about it, and what questions you feel comfortable asking. Sarah is a solid Xennial, but she’s asking questions we can all relate too, including:
What causes cramps and why are they so bad for teenagers?
Besides pregnancy, what are other reasons for skipping periods?
WTH is up with…blood clots, toxic shock syndrome, big boobs and upset stomach during your period?
Does a super heavy period mean you could have had twins? (SPOILER ALERT: NO, but Dr. Fleischman lets Sarah down easy.)
Do we need any special soaps or cleansers?
The guest for this episode is Dr. Anna Fleishman, an OB-GYN from WakeMed who was the fourth doctor (at least) to remind us no one needs to douche! Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.

When it comes to life, wellness, health and medicine, we all have questions. Sarah King is not afraid to ask ANYTHING.
Is THIS normal? Is THAT a problem I should see a doctor about?
What can I do RIGHT NOW to keep fill in the blank from happening in the future?
Sarah King has questions, but instead of a 10-minute doctor’s appointment where she comes away without answers, she gets to sit down with world-class physicians for candid conversations. And she’s not afraid to ask anything! No topic is off limits from sex, infertility and menopause to mental health, exercise and "Do I really need probiotics?” Doctors from WakeMed in Raleigh, NC answer her questions...ALL of her questions!
Sarah has questions, and admit it, you do too! Sarah Has Questions is produced by MIX 101.5 in Raleigh, NC.
