This thing that disturbs women every month actually has infinite benefits

As a woman, the most depressing thing is the week I have to face every month: irritability, pain, trouble... It seems that there is never a word associated with it that can make people happy. In fact, this is not the case. Menstruation has many benefits for women. Beautiful and healthy women benefit from its regulation of normal endocrine system. It is also closely related to the conceiving of the next generation. It can also help women detect diseases early.

The first benefit: The first signal for women to determine whether they are pregnant

For married women of childbearing age who have regular menstruation in the past, if this menstruation is more than ten days late, the first thing they should consider is whether they are pregnant. After confirming pregnancy, those who are not planning to have a baby should take remedial measures as soon as possible; those who want to have a baby should pay more attention to nutrition, avoid exposure to tobacco, alcohol, pesticides, harmful chemicals, radiation, etc., and avoid taking drugs that can cause fetal malformations. The expected date of delivery can also be calculated based on menstruation, which is very beneficial for pregnancy health care and psychology.

Second benefit: It can help people detect diseases early

If a girl is over 18 and still has no menstruation, or if a woman has had normal menstruation in the past but has not had menstruation for more than three months (excluding those caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause), she should be checked for lower reproductive tract atresia, congenital absence of uterus or uterine hypoplasia, ovarian tumors, pituitary tumors or dysfunction, endocrine or wasting diseases. In addition, changes in menstrual timing, volume, and accompanying symptoms are also important clues for discovering and diagnosing many diseases.

The third benefit: It can avoid the harm of excessive iron

There is a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which can easily cause iron metabolism disorders in patients and cause excessive iron accumulation in the body. Excessive iron can slowly lead to lesions in the skin, heart, liver, joints, pancreatic islets, etc. One way to treat iron overload is to drain your blood regularly. The chance of organic damage caused by hemochromatosis in women is much lower than that in men, or even almost never occurs. The blood loss during the menstrual cycle just consumes the excess iron.

The fourth benefit: It can promote hematopoietic function

Menstruation causes the body to lose blood and produce blood regularly, which gives women's circulatory and hematopoietic systems a kind of "exercise" that men do not have. It makes women more able to withstand accidental blood loss than men, and can produce new blood more quickly to make up for the lost blood. Practice has shown that if men and women with the same weight and health status lose the same proportion of blood due to an accident, the man will die, while the woman has the possibility of being successfully rescued and eventually recover.
