Period Advise For Woman Divers

For women divers, there are times in their lives when they are having period during a diving trip. According to an article in Divers Alert Network, there are no data to support the belief that menstruating females are at an increased risk for shark attacks. But it’s more about the inconvenience, the mess, the whole lot to deal with and think of. And because some women have heavy and painful periods, tampon only offers little, if any, consolation. Hence more and more women prefer to postpone their menstruation with aid of medicines. One of the medicines is Primolut and you can easily buy over the counter.

Primolut N, also known as Aygestin in USA, is used to treat irregular, painful or heavy periods. It is also used in the treatment of endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, and to delay periods. Manufactured by Schering AG, Germany, it contains 5 mg norethisterone on each tablet. The monthly bleeding can be advanced or postponed if particular circumstances require this; however, please note that this medication remains restricted to those cases in which there is NO POSSIBILITY OF EARLY PREGNANCY in the cycle concerned. Should any of these problems arise, consult your physician immediately.
