Jemimah Rodrigues on Period Pain in Cricket

Jemimah Rodrigues, an Indian cricketer, talked about how some women in her team face severe period pain that can make it hard to walk or even get out of bed.

She said they push through the pain because they love the game.

A doctor explained that period pain can be normal but if it's very bad, it might mean there's a health problem.

The doctor also gave tips on how to manage the pain, like using a heating pad, eating healthy, and exercising.

If the pain is so bad that it stops you from doing daily tasks, you should see a doctor.
