Why do women have menstruation?

The body structures of women and men are different, and they have different functions, especially in their reproductive organs. Only such a body structure can allow men and women to reproduce normally after they come together. Women's physiological characteristics are more complicated than men's. This situation also makes women more susceptible to diseases in the genitals and other parts of the body than men. So why do women have menstruation? Let’s talk about it in detail today.

The first benefit: signs of pregnancy:

For women who are of childbearing age, if their period usually arrives on time but this time it has not arrived for more than a week, then it can be judged that they are 80% pregnant. If you want a child, then be prepared to be a mother! Of course, if it is just an accidental pregnancy, then take remedial measures immediately!

Second benefit: Disease signal:

Normal women have their first menstruation at the age of 12-14. If they still haven't had their period by adulthood, there is obviously something wrong. Or if your menstruation is normal but you haven't had your period for two or three months in a row (normal menopause, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. are not counted), then it may be caused by an endocrine disorder or a wasting disease. Of course, excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, abdominal pain during menstruation (also known as dysmenorrhea), etc. are also symptoms of certain diseases.

Third benefit: Avoid excess iron accumulation in the body:

There's a disease you may not have heard of: hemochromatosis. It can cause metabolic disorders in patients, resulting in excessive accumulation of iron in the body, which means lesions in the skin, heart, joints and other parts of the body. What is the function of menstruation? Menstruation is the periodic discharge of blood, which avoids unnecessary excess iron in women's bodies.

The fourth benefit: better hematopoietic function:

The female body is in a cycle of blood loss and blood production. This makes women's circulatory system better than men's, because the system is filtered and the blood is "cleaned". Moreover, women's periodic blood loss allows them to better withstand the blow of blood loss and their hematopoietic function is better. Studies have shown that if men and women with the same physique and health index lose a large amount of blood in the same proportion, the man may die, but the woman may survive.

The above is the explanation of why women have menstruation. Women must pay attention to keeping their menstruation regular. If menstruation cannot be maintained normal, women's bodies will easily develop symptoms of some physical illnesses. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. So you must pay special attention to it in normal times.
