Menstruation (Period)

Menstruation is part of a woman’s reproductive cycle. It occurs to women every month in response to reproductive hormones – primarily estrogen and progesterone – a woman’s womb gets ready for pregnancy.

The menstrual cycle occurs due to the rise and fall of hormones. as the result of this cycle, thickening of the lining of the uterus and enlargement of the egg, (which is necessary for Pregnancy).

The egg is released from an ovary around day fourteen in the cycle, the thick layer of the uterus provides nutrients to the fetus after implantation. if implantation does not occur then the lining is known as menstruation.

The average age of the first period is generally later in the developing world, and earlier in the developed world. The period stops during Pregnancy and typically does not resume during the initial months of breastfeeding.

Menstruation stops occurring after menopause, which usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. Menstruation occurs in other animals such as mice, hamsters, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, elephants, dogs, and rabbits have an estrous cycle, but not all have a menstrual cycle.

Causes

This period (menstruation) is caused by the change of hormones in the body, this causes the lining of the hormones uterus (or womb).

The built-up lining is ready for a fertilized egg to attach to and start developing. if there is no fertilized egg, the lining breaks down and bleeds. then the same process happens all over again.

In clear language, bleeding adds a ladder to become a mother or reproductive system.

It normally takes a month for the lining to build up, then break down. That is why the most girl and women get their periods once a month.

Age

Menstruation (Period) in girls are normal is the vital part of Women and girl’s life. simply at the Age of 12 to 16 mostly girls get their first period.

Note: But it depends on the girl’s body it’s not necessary that a girl get her first period at the age of 12 to 15, 16 its depends on the individual body. and people should give their child proper knowledge there is nothing to shame about it.

Sometimes periods are not regular (means monthly) but when time passes then she can get it monthly and yes it is not necessary it happened to everyone maybe you can your periods monthly after your first periods.

When periods are supposed to happen the first time then it body changes a bit the size of the breast start to enhances or white water discharge comes and normally hormones too.

Duration

Menstruation is the most visible phase of the menstrual cycle and its beginning is used as the marker between cycles.

The effect of menstruation can occur every 21 to 40 days and last 2 to 7 days. these can be long cycles in the first few years after menstruation. although the menstrual cycle is reduced, it becomes more regular according to your growing age.

The menstrual cycle may be irregular (same length every month) and to some extent, irregular, and the period may be mild or heavy, painful or pain-free.

Bleeding

The average amount of menstrual women lose 30 to 90 ml of fluid over 3-7 days of menstruation. About half of menstrual fluid is blood. this blood contains sodium, calcium, phosphate, iron, and chloride, the amount of which depends on the health of the women.

Along with blood, there are vaginal secretions, cervical mucus, and endometrial tissue. vaginal fluid in menses mainly contributes to water, common electrolytes, organ moieties, and at least 14 proteins include glycoproteins.

Bleeding is an important part of a girl’s, women’s life but it also sometimes gives an embarrassing feel. so you should keep a pad or panty, tampon, and menstrual cup with you.

Menstrual cup

Many girls carry a menstrual cup with them. this cup is made of silicone which is made to prevent bleeding inside. to use it, a girl has to insert it into her vagina. it holds the blood until she empties it.

Pad

Most girls use pads. this is the first priority or first choice of girls who come in a lot of shapes and sizes. it has sticky strips which attach to the underwear and absorbs the blood.

Tampon

A tampon is a cotton plug that girls insert into their vaginas. it also acts as a pad but it remains inside the vagina and pad outside the vagina. many tampons come with an applicator that guides the tampon in place.

Make sure, do not to leave the tampon inside for more than 8 hours. By doing this you can risk toxic shock syndrome infection.

Side effect on body

In most women, various physical changes are brought about by fluctuations in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle. this includes cramping, hormonal changes, headache, changes in sex drive, or irritability before the onset of their period.

Some girls or women do not show any symptoms before the onset of menstruation (period) and a healthy diet, low intake of salt, caffeine, and Alcohol however, regular exercise or yoga may prove effective in controlling water retention in women.

Don’t worry that you will also get a solution to these problems, which you can treat in your home, no medicine is needed and it is a natural process in which how much pain will be there depends on your health.

Hormonal changes

The menstrual cycle is the uterus of a women’s reproductive system and a series of many natural changes that makes pregnancy.

Estrogen levels rise during mid-follicular and then rapidly after ovulation. This is followed by a secondary rise in estrogen levels during the mid-luteal phase with a decrease at the end of the menstrual cycle.

And there is no solution to hormonal changes. it is important to have this, through which you pass the test of becoming a mother.
