Why do women have menstruation

For every woman, when her body reaches sexual maturity, she will experience menstruation. In fact, most women are very disgusted with menstruation because it happens once a month and greatly affects their travel plans. Moreover, many people also suffer from irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea, which makes them suffer greatly when menstruation comes. So, have you ever thought about why women have menstruation?

Menstruation is a physiological cycle that occurs in some fertile female humans and in chimpanzees and other animals. Spiny Rat

Cows, mares, female camels, sows, and ewes also have menstruation, and some mammals experience estrus cycles. In women of childbearing age and female primates, the endometrium undergoes cyclical changes every month or so, with autonomous thickening, blood vessel proliferation, glandular growth and secretion, and endometrial collapse and shedding accompanied by bleeding. This periodic vaginal discharge or uterine bleeding is called menstruation.

Menstruation is regulated by the interaction between reproductive hormones from the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovary. During the menstrual period and proliferation period of the menstrual cycle, the levels of estradiol and progesterone in the blood are very low, thereby weakening or eliminating the negative feedback effect on the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, leading to increased secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, which in turn leads to increased secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland, thereby causing follicle development and a gradual increase in estrogen secretion. At this time, estrogen stimulates the endometrium to enter the proliferative phase. Luteinizing hormone increases the secretion of progesterone, leading to ovulation. During this period, both estrogen and progesterone levels increase. This produces a negative feedback inhibitory effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, thereby reducing the levels of ovulation-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, leading to corpus luteum degeneration, and then reducing estrogen and progesterone levels. The endometrium loses the support of these two hormones and begins to shed and bleed, which is when menstruation occurs. At this time, the decrease in estrogen and progesterone begins the next menstrual cycle.

Menstrual disorders are also called irregular menstruation. This is a common gynecological disease. It manifests as abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic disease or functional disorder. Blood diseases, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, reproductive tract infection, tumors (such as ovarian tumors, uterine fibroids), etc. can all cause menstrual disorders. It is divided into five categories: early menstruation, delayed menstruation, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, and amenorrhea.

During menstruation, women may experience physical discomfort. Therefore, three days before your period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, focusing on gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, Wenmaishu sports massage, elementary body gymnastics, or just doing some simple stretching exercises at home. On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging. However, you should still avoid some ball games and heavy weight sports.

These light exercises help the blood flow smoothly in the body and relieve stress. During exercise, be sure to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and avoid raising the legs too high. If you feel tired or notice a sudden increase or decrease in bleeding, stop exercising immediately.

In daily life, we should try to keep the private parts clean and use a cleanser that can effectively inhibit and kill the pathogens of gynecological diseases. It can not only effectively inhibit and kill the bacteria while cleaning the private parts, but also increase the private parts' own resistance. Women are yin, their physiological structure is more complex, and their organs are more fragile. If you are not careful, it may cause physiological and structural disorders of gynecological organs, and then cause gynecological diseases. Common gynecological diseases such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, cold body and limbs, dysmenorrhea, scanty menstruation, irregular menstruation, and uterine cold and infertility can be treated through corresponding treatment in combination with Chinese medicine massage and foot bath. At the same time, the foot reflex zone can be stimulated. The commonly used one is the Wenmaishu sports massage wheel. The massage wheel drives the overall coordinated movement of the lower limbs, involving muscles and bones in multiple parts of the body, such as the thigh, calf, knee joint, ankle joint, sole and toes, and focuses on the sole and side of the foot to produce massage effects, which can effectively regulate the body's physiological functions, improve the function of the immune system, and relieve menstrual disorders. To achieve the purpose of disease prevention, health care and physical fitness.
