"Traumatic" Periods Are Spoiling Dakota Johnson - The "Fifty Shades" Star’s Life

The Fifty Shades actress is now working in the reproductive education program of Global Citizen to bring a closer and better understanding of reproductive health to women and girl worldwide.

Talking about hormonal and menstrual issues, Dakota calls them “woes”. She even said that her periods are “traumatic” (I can’t agree with her more).

The unscheduled changes in her menstrual cycles have huge impacts on the brain and body, and of course her life. This is also the main reason for Dakota to get involved in the reproductive education program of Global Citizen. The purpose of this international program is to raise girls and women’s awareness of their bodies.

It's Important To Have An Effective Birth Control Method

According to Dakota, the most important part of this program is to find the most effective birth control or medications which work. In facts, it’s not easy seeking for a birth control method which is useful and non-harmful to your body. "How do you not jam chemicals into your brain to feel good?"

She Is Trying To Listen To Her Body

Even at the age of 29, Dakota is still trying to listen to her body. By understanding our body, we will find out a way to manage it and know what the best thing we can do for it is. The actress also wants to help other women and girls do the same thing.

FYI: In case your periods are painful and terrible like Dakota, you’d better tell your ob-gyn about it. Given the fact that they are really annoying, do not let your life affected while we can find a solution.
