So I’ve noticed something that I deem quite odd about my body when my period starts. About the first 2-3 days of my cycle my pubic area swells and actually goes numb. Not like “I can’t feel anything down there at all” but more like I’m “dull” to usual sensations I could feel such as my underwear rubbing against me. I’ve talked with my doctor about this and she says it’s normal because of the increased blood circulation and that it’s apparently “my body’s way of helping the flow of things move along.” So does anyone else experience this?
