Menstruation (period blood) An article for men and women!

What are periods?

(Menstrual cycle)

Females aged 11-50 (varies in every case) have periods once every month for a span of 3-7 days. A female’s body prepares itself to carry a baby every month. This is done by the uterus. The uterus forms a thick cushion like layer so as to support a baby. But if no baby happens, then there’s no need for this layer. So this layer (ENDOMETRIAL LINE OF UTERUS) starts shedding automatically and out comes blood. That’s what periods are.

Why only girls?

Without going into the exact science of it, let's just say that the body prepares itself to have a baby every month. When that doesn't happen, periods do. It is actually a sign of good health.

Is it true that women have mood swings during menstruation? / PMS ( pre menstrual syndrome?)

Yes! During menstrual period or before periods there is imbalance of hormones in the body. due to this mood swings, headache, cramps, bloating, cravings, sore breasts and overall tension occurs which create bad impact on body. 

Basically in the process of menstrual period, there is main role of estrogen(hormone) which causes these changes in one’s mood. In first stage of menstruation, a women body increases the amount of estrogen that is produced by a dramatic rate. Estrogen actually adds to the good feelings that a woman might experience under normal circumstances. When estrogen is increased so are the epinephrine (adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the medulla which cause strong emotions such as fear or anger) serotonin (key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness)


When the woman does not conceive these chemicals are quickly reduced and this is the cause of the moods that women experience. Women can go from feeling very good to feeling very bad in a very short period of time prior to her actual period.


Can they have sex during periods?

Though period sex can be a bit messy, it is safe.

Another worry about having sex during period is the risk of passing on a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like HIV or hepatitis. These viruses live in blood, and they can spread through contact with infected menstrual blood. Using safeties every time you have sex can reduce your risk of spreading or catching an STI.

Is menstrual blood dirty?

No!! #myth

There’s a common misconception that period blood is dirty or toxic, and in some cultures it may even be considered impure. Contrary to that belief, the blood you menstruate is just as “clean” as the venous blood that comes from every other part of the body and it’s harmless as long as you don’t have any bloodborne diseases (pathogens aren’t picky when it comes to manifesting in bodily fluids). I mean think about it, this blood came from an organ that must be hygienic enough to potentially sustain the development of a fetus. it’s just blood.

Can men buy sanitary pads/menstrual cups/ tampons for women?


There is absolutely nothing wrong in a guy buying feminine hygiene products for a girl. Having or getting pads, or tampons, for people who need them like your mother, sister, girlfriend or wife is a normal thing.

There are various myths related to periods in India. Some consider it as a curse, some think it is inauspicious and others practice untouchability during menstruation. The myth that women cannot enter temples and holy ground is culturally controversial, and a sensitive issue. These myths need to be discarded and people have to progress with time.

To all the girls and guys there stay healthy and hygienic. Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live in.

Read and share! 

It's time for change!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hindu Code Bill And Ambedkar

 "I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved." ~ Dr B.R Ambedkar. The Hindu code bill was introduced in the Constituent Assembly on 11 April 1947 and was referred by a select committee on 9 April 1948, after 4 years of deliberations, it remained inconclusive. This was probably the longest debate on any single bill in the independent Indian Parliament.  The Congress was not eager to clarify the Hindu Code bill and because of this Ambedkar resigned from the cabinet on 27 September 1951  What was the need of a codified bill? The bill itself was an immense exodus from Hinduism and its humiliating set of gender laws. Until then, "Hindu law" was also casually interpreted through the oral reading of various contents from the Vedas, Smritis and Puranas. There was no real codification or uniformity, and women's lives were often in the hands of Hindu male interpreters. It can be said that in Hinduism there were two laws regar...

LIFE

Once upon a time there was a man who was living close to a mountain and everyday he was thinking: how would it be to climb that mountain, and what would I see on the peak? ๐ŸŒŒ And finally the day came and the man on the journey. Arriving at the foot of the mountain he met the first traveller. So he asked: how did you get up the mountain and what did you see on the top? And so the traveller shared his path and also the view that he had. But then the man, he was thinking to himself: The way that the traveller just described it sounds very exhausting.  I need to find another way to climb. So he continued on the foot of the mountain until he met the next traveller.  Once again he asked: how did you climb up that mountain and what did you see on the top? And so the other traveller shared his story still not being determined on which directions and which way to go, The man asked thirty more people, thirty more travellers.  When he finished talking to all of them, he finally made...
