Period happens to all girls every month. This is a normal physical process that happens every month. This is why many people call it menstruation. However, most people still have no clear idea about this period. So the girls always say these things in secret. But there is nothing to hide because it is a regular physical activity.

★ What is menstruation period?

Every month girls body prepares their uterus for pregnancy. This process ionizes the uterus with tissue and blood to prepare for ovarian implantation. Menstruation occurs when this thin lining is perforated and expelled through their cervix and vagina. Blood and tissues leave the body at this time, and it will last for an average of 3 to 5 days.

★ What is the menstruation cycle?

The menstrual cycle is the change in the uterine process of a girl. Under the influence of hormones every month, and the blood and uterine secretions come out of the vagina. Calculated from the first day of your period to the time of your next period, the menstrual cycle lasts an average of 28 to 29 days. Some women have a short cycle of 21 days, and it is also possible. There are also many who have a long cycle of about 35 days.

★ Why is the period?

A woman’s period prepares her for pregnancy every month. To put it more simply, we just know that having a baby is a period. So why does it take a period to have a baby? Because, every month, the uterus of a girl tightens her outer covering so that she can shelter the baby after she becomes pregnant. But later, when the fetus is not fertilized, she tears off her hardcover and begins to prepare for the next month. That is why a part of a girl’s body is torn, and it comes out with that blood.

★ What happens during the menstrual cycle? Four stages of the menstrual cycle continue throughout the month.

Menstruation or menstrual phase It has four parts-

Step 1: Monthly stage:

This is when the lining of the uterine cavity forms, and your bleeding begins. This stage lasts 3 to 5 days, and in some women, it can be longer. Many menstruating women experience specific symptoms, which have no limits, including back pain, leg pain, mood swings, breast tenderness, and so on. But you get exhausted and face a general lack of energy.

Step 2: Follicular phase:

This is the stage when your body is ready for ovulation. A hormone, known as FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), stimulates the ovaries and leads to mature egg production. This process also releases hormones such as estrogen and progesterone that prepare the uterus’ lining in the absence of an impending pregnancy. This thick lining is made to provide nutrition and blood to the fetus. During this time, as your estrogen levels rise, you will feel energetic and may have a brighter mood. You may notice some white discharge at this time, which is entirely normal.

Step 3: Ovulation:

Ovulation occurs when the ovary releases a mature egg, and it begins its journey towards the uterus through the fallopian tube. These eggs can survive for only 12 to 24 hours. During this time, if the ovum comes in contact with the sperm, it is fertilized. These days your chances of reproduction are highest. If you have sex during this time, you need to use protective measures. The high estrogen levels your body produces during this time will boost your energy, mood, and even your sex drive.

Step 4: Mutual phase:

This stage marks the end of the menstrual cycle. Once the ovum enters the fallopian tube and descends into the uterus, your body begins to produce progesterone, making more uterine lining. However, if ovulation does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels will drop. Also, since there is no implantation in the ovary, the uterus’ lining is not needed, so it begins to move. When this happens, you enter a new cycle.

★ How do hormones work?

The menstrual cycle is regulated by different hormones produced in other parts of the body.

• Gonadotropin-releasing hormones, known as GnRH, are produced in the hypothalamus portion of the brain. It stimulates the production of a cell-stimulating hormone (FSH) and other hormones, such as a luteinizing hormone.
• FSH or follicle-stimulating hormone is produced in the brain and is responsible for implanting or maturing your eggs in the ovaries.
• Also produced in the pituitary gland, the luteinizing hormone stimulates the ovaries to release the eggs
• Your ovaries produce estrogen, which is responsible for changes in your body during puberty. It has several roles in your body, especially during the reproductive cycle.
• The hormone progesterone, which is produced by the ovaries, works to control and maintain your reproductive cycle and prepare for pregnancy.

★ At the time of ovulation:

During ovulation, your body’s estrogen levels increase, which causes a rapid drop in FSH hormone levels. But with the increase in luteinizing hormone, FSH also increases. Luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation, and the ovum is released from the sac and comes out of the ovary. These eggs are then caught by the fallopian tubes.

On a typical day, the cervix produces thick mucus or mucus that prevents sperm from entering. Before ovulation, the hormone estrogen alters this thick mucus and makes it thinner. This allows the sperm to swim in the uterus to fertilize the egg.

★ After ovulation:

After ovulation, the ovarian follicle is transformed into something called corpus luteum. The Corpus luteum is a yellow mass of cells responsible for the production of the hormone progesterone. Progesterone again thickens the mucus and makes it harder for sperm to enter. At this point, you may notice that your vaginal discharge will be thicker and more sticky.

Progesterone also builds the uterus wall to replace the ovum by making a thick glue of blood and tissues. As progesterone levels increase, your breasts may feel a little stretched, and you may feel an arousal sensation between them. After ovulation, the pituitary gland stops producing the FSH hormone to prevent any ovum from developing.

★ What happens if there is fertilization?

If the ovum released from the ovary is fertilized by sperm in the fallopian tube, it moves to the uterus and places itself in the lining. The ovum can take between six and twelve days to travel from the ovary to the womb. During this time, the ovum contains only 150 cells. You may also begin to experience the early symptoms of pregnancy as your body levels of progesterone increase.

★ What happens if fertilization does not occur?

If fertilization does not occur or happens that the ovum is not successfully placed in the uterus wall, the ovum begins to hatch. The corpus luteum also shrinks, and your body’s estrogen and progesterone levels will begin to drop. Your uterus produces a prostaglandin chemical, which alters the blood supply to the uterus, breaks down the lining of the uterine wall, and compresses your uterus. This is when the lining starts to move, and your period begins.

★ What is the typical period?

There are about 3 to 5 days of bleeding through your vagina in a given period of time. Bleeding may be short or long-lasting for some women. Menstrual flow or the amount of blood that comes out of the vagina can be classified as heavy, medium, or light flow. It can vary from woman to woman. Bleeding during menstruation can last a long time in the first few years and become more regular with age.

• 

★ The typical symptoms of menstruation:

The usual symptoms of menstruation or period were as follows:

• Abdominal pain may occur;
• There will be mild headaches;
• There will be a pain in the breast;
• Appetite;
• Physical feelings will be strong;
• Increases sexual desire;
• Will have an irritable mood;
• May cause acne on the face;
• May cause sleep problems;
• Occasionally, there may be nausea.

★ The amount of bleeding in the period:

Less than one cup of blood is excreted in each period. Usually, more blood is excreted in the first two days. According to the New York University School of Medicine, a few tablespoons of blood is expelled from the body each month. If the pad gets completely wet within 2 hours of starting use, then it is not normal. Excessive bleeding may occur during periods due to cervical cancer, tumors, ovarian cysts, etc. So if there is excessive bleeding, you should seek the help of a doctor without feeling ashamed.

★ Rules for using sanitary pads or napkins:

Different brands, different types of sanitary napkins or pads, are now available in the market. Whatever the class, it should not be worn for long periods. The first two-three days of the period are a little more bleeding, so the pads should be checked for two hours in a row. If the pad is not dry, i.e., blood is seen to be flowing on the upper part, it should be changed immediately, and no pad should be worn for more than four hours.

But from the fourth or fifth day, the amount of bleeding decreases somewhat. At this time, many girls use a sanitary napkin for a long time, thinking that there is less bleeding. As a result, the blood dries out quickly, and germs attack it, which comes in contact with the vagina and causes itching, boils, various diseases of the genitals, and fungal infections. Influenced by tempting advertisements, girls wear sanitary napkins for more than twenty-four hours. But to keep such pads dry for a long time, a substance called ‘cellulose gel’ is used, which is responsible for cervical cancer. So you have to be aware of your responsibility in this regard.

★ Problems associated with menstruation:

Apart from pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), cramps, and body aches, women may experience various problems with their period.

1) Menorrhagia:

This name characterizes heavy bleeding that can last five to seven days. Menorrhagia is caused by an imbalance in hormone levels like estrogen and progesterone. Vaginal infections, inflammatory cervix, hypothyroidism, uterine fibroids, etc. can also be caused by the condition.

2) Amenorrhea:

Also called absent menstruation, you may not get your period for various reasons. Early amenorrhea occurs when you do not menstruate after the age of 16. It can be due to puberty, congenital disabilities of the reproductive system, or problems with the pituitary gland.

Secondary amenorrhea can be caused by hyperthyroidism, anorexia, ovarian infection, pregnancy, stopping birth control, or sudden weight gain or loss.

★ Symptoms of menstrual or period pain:

All girls have a little bit of physical discomfort during the period. Various physical aches and with it, abdominal pain. It is someone’s; it is not someone’s. Again someone is in a lot more pain.

★ Why is there pain in the abdomen?

Period or in common parlance what we call menstruation. In that case, the stomach and the legs, back pain, physical discomfort, and not feeling well these continue. Many have mild abdominal pain. There is no reason to be afraid. Once a child is born, this lower abdominal pain decreases. This is because the eggs are made during this time, and they are continually being destroyed. As the ovaries mature after childbirth, the pain subsides. It usually occurs at a young age. But if the pain is too much and the pull continues for a long time, it is called dysmenorrhea.

Why do women have periods?

★ Dysmenorrhea:

Girls with dysmenorrhea may experience severe pain during periods. Stretching during PMS is expected because the uterus expands and contracts, so there is normal pain. It can be caused by pain in the pelvis, inflammation of the fibroids, or endometriosis (abnormal tissue growth in the uterus). It comes in two types.

• Primary dysmenorrhea

There are two types of dysmenorrhea that most commonly affect girls between the ages of 18 and 25. This is called primary dysmenorrhea. There is no exact reason for this. This is usually before becoming a mother. This is when the egg is made in our body. These eggs are ready for fertilization. Pregnancy is possible only when combined with sperm. So if not matched, these ovaries are destroyed due to lack of sperm. And from time to time, these come out. Constant loss in this way results in abdominal pain. So once a normal pregnancy, this pain is reduced.

There are also some reasons, such as excessive worries about pain during periods, stress, unrest, and broken health. Also, during this time, the body-mind wants proper rest. Too much work stress can cause discomfort, which is also a cause of pain. The pain usually lasts until the first or second day after the period starts and then subsides.

• Secondary dysmenorrhea

There is also a type called secondary dysmenorrhea. There is also a possibility of pain for many gynecological diseases. Such as if there is an infection in the abdomen or if there is a congenital disability. It also occurs if there is a tumor in the uterus. In this case, the pain is different. The pain starts two to three days before the start of the period. If it decreases again, the pain also diminishes. It cannot be treated separately. If there is any problem or disease in the body, it should be understood. She needs to be treated. Then the pain will decrease.

★ When does a girl usually get her first period?

The first stage usually starts in 10 to 12 years. However, some girls may have delay as early as ten years of age or up to 15 or 16 years of age. The first menstrual period’s age can sometimes depend on when her mother had her first menstrual period. It can be noticed that the period may start two years after the development of breast and pubic hair.

★ When does menopause begin?

Menopause is considered if a woman has not menstruated for 12 months. The average age of women for menopause is 40 to 50 years. However, some women enter menopause in their 30s, and others do not get menopause until they enter their 60s.

• Those whose menstruation is irregular.

• Those who have never had a child.

• Those who reach puberty before the right age, i.e. those who start menstruating before 11 years. In women, a hormone called prostaglandins causes the uterine muscles to contract, causing blood clots to come out of the uterus every month. These contractions can cause pain and swelling. The higher the level of prostaglandin secreted in a woman’s body, the greater the pain and cramping she feels during her period.

• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS for short).

• Endometriosis (a painful physical illness where blood cells from the uterus begin to grow in other parts of the body).

• Fibroid in the uterus (a type of tumor that later develops into cancer).

• Pelvic inflammatory disease, infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries, often caused by sexually transmitted infections.

• Sexually transmitted infections. Adenomyosis is a rare condition in which the ducts inside the uterus grow inside the uterine wall muscles.

• Cervical stenosis, another rare condition in which the cervix is so small that it slows muscle flow. Some contraceptives, especially those made of copper inside the uterus (Intrauterine devices or IUD for short), are used to cause extra pain during menstruation.

Excessive consumption of dairy products such as milk, cheese, or yogurt during periods increases the secretion of certain hormones to such an extent that it does not take long to release the level of physical pain.

It also helps control muscle problems, such as the neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as back and abdominal pain. This pose makes the tendons, muscles, and knee joints very flexible. It reduces the stress a lot by saying the posture of the fetus. Fold the legs together. Lean the head with both hands on the ground with the rest of the body facing the abdomen.

Bend your knees and bend down and keep your arms straight. This increases the flexibility of the body. As a result, stomach and waist pain is reduced a lot. Once the waist is high, insert it inside the abdomen. Relax the muscles and bring the core back to normal. Doing this repeatedly will cause blood to circulate in the muscles, resulting in pain control. Also, after bending the knees and leaning down, stretch one leg with the weight of one leg and hold the sole of that foot with your hands. If you lift the right leg, then hold it with the left hand. This is how this seat can be done.

★ The condition of the body can be known by looking at the blood color of the period:

According to the American Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it is possible to know a lot about the body by looking duration of the period and the blood’s color at that time. In particular, whether a complex disease has settled in the body can be understood by looking at the blood of the period.

• Frozen blueberries
• Strawberry jam
• Cranberry juice

These three colors of blood tell about the condition of the body.

The menstrual cycle

★ What is meant by this color? Let’s find out-

*Frozen Blueberries –

If period blood is like frozen blueberries, you know that your body has high estrogen levels. As a result, the uterus’ lining will be thicker, and there will be more bleeding.

• Strawberry Jam –

If the period’s blood color is as bright red as strawberry jam, then you understand that the level of estrogen in your body is low. This will make the lining of the uterus thinner and less bleeding.

• Cranberry juice –

This is the most natural color. This means that your hormone levels are normal. And the flow will be expected. Keep in mind that blood is often seen between the two periods. This is called spotting. If this happens, consult a doctor as soon as possible. Because it means there can be any complex problem inside your body.

• Brown or dark red –

Many people get scared when they see very dark colored blood. But there is nothing to fear. The period’s color may be due to the previous cycle or some accumulated blood in this cycle.

• Orange-red or yellowish –

If your period blood color is like this, be careful. This is due to cervical or vaginal infections.

★ What is the disease of blood clots during the period?

Blood clots are a normal process. These blood clots or lumps may be more or less. If it is more, the pain is more towards the lower abdomen. But if it is low, the blood leaves the body quickly. Now the question is, why blood clots? Vitamin-K and fibrinogen are present in the blood to clot the blood. In this case, everyone should keep in mind that more blood would be shed if the blood did not gel.

★ Physical contact during periods can lead to infection:

Physical intercourse during the period is inappropriate. Physical intercourse at this time can bring various dangers for women.
Physical infections can occur during periods. Fake blood from the body can enter any other part of the abdomen. Blood clots can form after entering another part of the waist.

The cervix may rotate, which can lead to serious side effects. In the eyes of Islam, sexual intercourse during the period is completely forbidden. It is unclean. The Holy Qur’an says: “Abstain from wives during menstruation and do not approach them until they have become pure.”
