      What will never leave a woman - a bra; what will always visit a woman - menstruation! When a woman visits during menstruation, she will also give you a gift (the benefits of menstruation to women)! Do you want to know what it "sends" to you? healthy Women always have a visit from "it" every month!

      4 “gifts” for when your period visits you

      Menstruation, also known as menstrual cycle, is a physiological cycle that occurs in some fertile women. female between humans and other hominins. Although women are a little distressed during those few days of the month, menstruation can also bring real benefits to women. Let’s take a look together below!

      1. The first signal for menstruating women to determine whether they are pregnant

      Married women of childbearing age have regular menstruation in the past. If this menstruation lasts for more than ten days, they must first consider whether they are pregnant. After confirming pregnancy, those who are not planning to have children should take remedial measures as soon as possible; those who want to have children should pay more attention to nutrition and avoid exposure to tobacco, alcohol, pesticides, harmful chemicals, rays, etc., and avoid taking drugs that can cause fetus Abnormal drugs. The expected date of delivery can also be estimated based on menstruation, which is very beneficial to health care and psychology during pregnancy.

      2. Menstruation can enable early detection disease

      If a girl is over 18 years old and still has no menstruation, or if a woman has had normal menstruation in the past and has stopped menstruating for more than three months, it is necessary to check whether there is atresia of the lower reproductive tract or congenital alopecia. Uterus or uterine dysplasia, ovarian tumors, pituitary tumors or hypofunction, endocrine or wasting diseases. In addition, changes in menstrual time, amount, and accompanying symptoms are also important clues for the discovery and diagnosis of many diseases.

      3. Avoid the damage caused by excessive iron

      There is a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which can easily cause iron metabolism disorders in patients, and excessive iron will accumulate in the body; excess iron will slowly lead to skin , heart, liver, joints, pancreatic islets, etc. One way to treat iron overdose is to regularly drain a certain amount of blood. The chance of organic damage caused by hemochromatosis in women is much less than male , or even almost does not occur, the role of menstruation - periodic blood loss just consumes excess iron.

      4. Can promote hematopoietic function

      Menstruation causes regular blood loss and hematopoiesis in the body, giving women's circulatory and hematopoietic systems a benefit that men do not have.“ exercise ”, which enables women to withstand accidental blood loss better than men and can produce new blood faster to make up for the lost blood. Practice has proven that if men and women of the same weight and health status lose the same proportion of blood due to accidents, men will die as a result, while women have the possibility of successful rescue and eventual recovery.

      Adolescent girls should pay attention Gynecology The onset of disease

      Adolescence is the transitional period from children to adults. Adolescence is a critical period for rapid growth and development of the human body. It is also the second peak period of growth and development in life after infancy. Adolescent girls, even though they have just had menarche, have fewer infections sexually transmitted diseases and chances of pregnancy, but they have a greater chance of developing tumors related to developmental disorders. So, what gynecological diseases should adolescent girls pay attention to? Let’s find out together below!

      1. Irregular menstruation

      Many adolescent girls have irregular menstrual cycles and blood volume. In the first few years after menarche, the intervals between menstrual cycles can be up to two or three months. This is normal and most of them have nothing to worry about. However, if the interval is longer and secondary amenorrhea occurs, they seek medical attention and help.

      Many girls say that their menstrual periods can last 10 to 12 days. It is difficult to judge the amount of bleeding based on their own descriptions, so the hemoglobin level becomes a reliable indicator. If the hemoglobin level is less than 12 g/100 ml, treatment is needed. If it's as low as 7 grams or less, you'll need to be hospitalized and given more aggressive, intensive treatment.

      Most girls who are otherwise healthy rarely suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding, but when it does occur, it needs to be treated, just like heavy bleeding caused by trauma and other circumstances, which cannot be ignored. If a girl is not taking oral contraceptives but has spotting between cycles, it may be the first symptom of malignant tumors in the reproductive system.

      2. Secondary amenorrhea

      The cause of secondary amenorrhea in adolescence is mainly caused by temporary dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis function, and organic causes are less common. Pregnancy is also a factor that needs to be ruled out when diagnosing secondary amenorrhea. Due to the influence of early puberty and negative social trends, some girls have sexual relations prematurely without knowing anything about pregnancy. They are not discovered by their parents or teachers until late in pregnancy.

      Reasons that affect hypothalamic function and cause secondary amenorrhea also include emotional stress, sudden weight loss, athletes' muscle growth that replaces body fat after hard training, and taking strong drugs.

      3. Dysmenorrhea

      Dysmenorrhea rarely occurs in girls under 15 years old because primary dysmenorrhea rarely occurs in anovulatory cycles. Many girls have 6 to 18 anovulatory cycles after menarche. Secondary dysmenorrhea and other abnormalities may signal organic damage.

      Thus, any patient complaining of pain in the genitals and lower abdomen needs to undergo a gynecological examination, regardless of her age or previous sexual activity. Of course, the gynecological examination of girls is carried out through digital anal examination.

      4. Leucorrhea

      Girls' perineal skin is thin and tender, without fat pads and pubic hair. It is not protected and is prone to injury and infection. Mothers sometimes take girls to see a doctor because of vaginal discharge. Some girls are also worried about the increase, color change, and change in stickiness of their leucorrhea. Especially those girls who have had sexual relations are more afraid that changes in leucorrhea may mean contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

      In fact, changes in the color and properties of leucorrhea are relatively common. For example, the color of leucorrhea will turn yellow after taking a hot water bath. Proteinous, viscous, clear and abundant vaginal secretions and fleshy vaginal tissue often become components of leucorrhea. They are the result of estrogen stimulating the vaginal epithelium.

      When a patient has a history of unclean sexual intercourse and abnormal leucorrhea, as a preventive measure, vaginal secretions should be cultured to rule out the presence of sexually transmitted diseases.

      Leucorrhea and vaginal bleeding during menstruation may also be caused by the girl's exposure to diethylstilbestrol during the fetal period. For example, the mother took this drug when she was trying to prevent habitual miscarriage. For these girls, once the above symptoms appear, they should be followed up regularly and receive appropriate examinations. When encountering other changes in leucorrhea, corresponding examinations should be carried out to rule out various infections.

      5. Premenstrual syndrome

      Most women, including adolescent girls, experience premenstrual discomfort, but the vast majority have only mild symptoms and do not seek counseling or treatment.

      Most teenage girls who seek medical help for PMS complain of edema or rapid growth of acne. Girls can be asked to keep a menstrual diary for at least one cycle, so that the accurate relationship between symptoms and menstrual periods can be found, and premenstrual syndrome can be further classified.

      If some people have symptoms throughout their cycle, the diagnosis should not be PMS. Premenstrual syndrome, with its predominance of anxiety-related symptoms, can be distinguished from the depressive form of premenstrual syndrome.
