If you're preparing for a medical procedure, anesthesia is an important topic to understand. Whether you're curious about how it works or wondering about the different types, understanding the basics can help you feel more comfortable and informed. Let’s break it down and explore the different types of anesthesia and how they work.

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life. But “normal” can vary — what truly matters is knowing your own rhythm and noticing when things change.
