For example, it may be indirect age discrimination if an employer requires an older person to meet a physical fitness test â which more young people are able to meet â if the fitness standard is not an inherent requirement of the job.
A menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of bleeding in one month to the first day of bleeding in the next month. The average menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but cycles that are 21â45 days also are normal. It may take 6 years or more after your period starts for your cycle to get regular.
Blood loss during a normal menstrual period is about 5 tablespoons, but if you have a condition called heavy monthly bleeding, you may bleed as much as 10 to 25 times that amount each month. You may have to change a tampon or pad every hour, for example, instead of three or four times a day, or you may use double protection with a tampon and a pad.
