"The wife looks much more efficiently than any court to punish herself, feels frighteningly guilty ", Rosario Ferrer:
matter of taste
Some women have their periods every 18 days, others every 36 days.
Some bleeding for two or three days, some eight or nine days.
Some have regular periods and others were forwards, backwards or skip. Some bleed
droplets, other squirts and other clot of varying density.
Some feel nothing and others will start with pain. Some take comfort
menstruating and others find annoying.
Some sleep all day when they come, and some have insomnia.
some get to sew, knit and cook everything, and other breaks things when they come.
All this depends on each one, and it's perfectly normal to happen in different ways for each woman.
But overall, one thing all agree: they have a low opinion of your period.
I made a personal survey asking just to tell me if mensrtruacion disturbed, are indifferent or proud. 40% answered "bothers me", and 60% replied "I'm indifferent, I guess it was the smart way to avoid confessing that bothers him. The funny thing is that asking the same thing to menopausal women, when asked to respond as a group tend to say out loud "thank goodness I no longer comes ", but questioned in private confession, and with some embarrassment, that surprised the menstrual small clock. One told me, melancholy "over the years know what phase the moon was not even looking at the sky, because I would always at full moon ... and now I can not know what moon is."
The truth is that the vast majority of women, menstruation hurts. With different pain garde, but it's something to be endured.
Most of them feels like a dull ache that comes in spasms every 5 or 10 minutes, a day before they lower the blood. The pain may be felt in the back or just on her belly, but many feel it radiating from below the breastbone and the ribs, covering the entire abdomen, and extending in a strong tingling to the toes. The day that comes to menstruation, the pain becomes less jerky and is a fixed pain, which is here to stay, especially focusing on the abdomen and feeling a sense of weight, more isolated stitches and cramps.
Many women confess to having severe pain. Others say they can not do anything but sleep and watch TV. Others say they can not even sleep the pain.
The funny thing is that when many women commented that the worst is the pain, most say "Who told you? That exaggerated! Not that bad, you take an ibuprofen and you move on. " Well, with anesthesia until delivery is easy. But some women do not have pain at the hands and no money to buy them. And the pain the suffer month after month. not each child So what is installed in society is that women complaining of menstrual pain is an "exaggerated" who complains about being able to fight the pain like a drug. I think a man with toothache ever have to hear something so cruel and heartless as "Do not complain, take a painkiller, not be exaggerated." But the menstruating women hear these accusations over and over again, every month, and suffer pain with such immense guilt that to pretend that they do not hurt at all ... with talde and who do not criticize! They go to work putting on a smile and pretending that nothing happens, when you feel the pain that the average weight of an anvil between the legs and overwhelmed just looking forward to being tucked into bed definitely are not understood even by themselves . Many will say "that the pain goes away you take a walk, play sports" ... Aha, what legs, if all you feel in them is pain and heaviness homigueo? And it is not somatize: pain, uterine contractions, tingling around the body exists, and it is there. With or without ibuprofen, are not the same as ever. You feel different. And unless you're masochistic, pain bother. So
that smile and gentlemen ... we can afford to have the right to hurt us and complain about the pain? Thank you, how nice! Ahem!
"You Say It's a good thing? Are you kidding? "
time ago in the United States did a study showing that women do not like menstruation, and to think that whoever says that she enjoys, lies or jokes.
To know clearly what they think the women of the period, in 1987 Janice Delaney, Mary Jane Lupton and Emily Toth, author of "The Curse: a Cultural History of Menstruation" ("The Curse: a cultural history of menstruation), developed a one Menstrual Joy Questionnaire as a response of "Menstrual Distress Questionnaire" that had made the psychiatrist Rudolf H. Moos Stanford University, measuring the premenstrual syndrome, 19 years earlier. The authors of the questionnaire
"happy" and asked simply whether the positive period: (1) puts you in a good mood, (2) will increase sexual desire, (3) fills you with intense desire to cheer with creative activity, (4 ) gives you revolutionary spirit (5) favors the intense concentration, (6) fills you with feelings of affection, (7) gives you confidence, (8) you gives a sense of euphoria, (9) provides creativity, and (10) gives you feelings of power .. Some scholars [1] examined the reaction of the women who responded the questionnaire and asked them what they thought the questionnaire. And they learned that 27.5% saw him in disbelief, 22.5% surprise, 25% believed that the title was sarcastic or ironic, 12.5% \u200b\u200bsaw it with interest, 12.5% \u200b\u200bfound it funny, confusing saw 12.5%, 5% is angry, 2.5% felt sad and 2.5% is appreciated. [2] In short: only a tenth took him seriously. The rest laughed at him. If anything proves that menstruation is not seen with new eyes, is that 90% of respondents believed that seeing menstruation as a positive thing was a joke, a hair taken or an error.
This kind of thing is what alerts us to realize how we are wasting the suffering and pain for a quarter of our life worth living algfo with depth, humor, joy, marveling at how well our body works.
Because menstruation is good stuff, although most women have taught us to welcome her with disgust.

Morbidity invisible
Menstruation has always been invisible, and nameless among many cultures. Tabu among many people, served as an excuse to punish many women with the remoteness and large number of prohibitions, such as those that force women to away from home with the fallacy that their presence during menstruating contaminated agricultural products and livestock growth altered. In fact, most women until the mid-twentieth century, became pregnant from the first menstruation in adolescence, and almost did not return any periods during their reproductive lives, because they were pregnant or breastfeeding. Due to this fact due only menstrual disorders for women who come from upper classes or other circumstances had their first child until after their twenties.
also was a taboo in the media of many mothers and daughters.
dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia and the irregular cycles were associated with low uptake of menstruation before its correlation with endocrine disorders, or deficiencies nutrition. The menstrual cycle affects all organ systems of women and alterations may be an indicator of health status, as stressful situations and clinical and subclinical diseases alter its regularity. There are also influenced by some women to others through pheromones.
Medical science has ignored the study period and only in the middle of the twentieth century began a study of the cycle and pituitary hormones, in order to get birth control pills. However it is very difficult to find studies that specify what are the normal characteristics of the menstrual cycle. In fact research has been conducted in Sweden and Denmark, which gave normal patterns.
In this second phase of the cycle and especially between days 17 to 23 increases the secretion of several hormones involved in the metabolism of body water (renin, angiotensin, aldosterone) and retained fluid. In normal conditions this retention should be noticeable, but when there is excess estrogen by stress or excess in the environment, or when it decreases the secretion of progesterone for the same reasons, retention can be intense and lead to an increase of about 2 or 3 Kilos of weight before menstruation.
But there are increases of brain neurotransmitters, from the moment ovulation, adrenaline and noradrenaline central and peripheral, and Beta endorphins are elevated up to three days before menstruation. These variations in normal conditions should be almost imperceptible, but as the levels can cause changes in mood and mood. Implications
neuroendocrine and mood and humor
Hormonal changes in the hypothalamic system and the effect of estrogen on the noradrenergic system, dopamine and serotonin receptors, and natural progesterone on GABA receptors have shown that changes in mood and mood during the menstrual cycle have a neuroendocrine basis.
On the one hand estrogen levels collaborate in the excitability of the nervous system but also stimulate and tone (antidepressive effect) and natural progesterone has a harmonizing effect by stimulating the sedation and sleep, and helping to remove excess liquid irritability and nervous tension.
If no changes, you may feel a slight increase in anxiety among 16 to 23 of the cycle, and increased irritability, nervous tension, and hostility five days prior to menstruation.
libido (sexual appetite) and sexual activity are increased in the first phase of the cycle (6 to 12) and during the ovulatory phase, and decreases in the second phase, with a slight increase during the five days prior to menstruation. All these changes are physiological, and go unnoticed for women and for the professionals themselves, because they have been investigated in the past twenty years.
There are also variations in acuity of sense organs with increased sensitivity for vision, hearing and touch to the ovulatory peak and a decrease during the second phase, except for the smell that rises from the first follicular phase by the effect of estrogen and continues to increase its sensitivity to the time of menstruation. Many pregnant women also report increased olfactory sensitivity and can detect the presence of any fruits rusty but this twenty meters away.
If ovulation does not occur, or does so with little encouragement from the luteinizing hormone (LH) imbalances in the state of mind is acute and there is increased irritability, nervousness and tension, and sometimes want to mourn in the days prior to menstruation what is known as Premenstrual Syndrome. It is also accompanied by fluid retention, breast tenderness and pelvic pain radiating to lower limbs. Also, excess estrogen is related to the presence of migraines, intense headaches affecting half the head and presented two days before or during menstruation. But as the recent study many of the mood swings were attributed to the rejection of menstruating women, or nature "hysterical", which has become more difficult to correlate symptoms with hormonal changes, and more invisible sensations felt by women and only dared to run each other in secret. Now many are still rejected by medical professionals if they dare to explain the symptoms related to menstrual cycle.
Implications
metabolic
All metabolic systems are affected by the menstrual cycle from the metabolism of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, into cells of the cornea. The study of the physiology of the cycle and its effects on lung capacity, digestive function, renal excretory function, and other systems has allowed understanding the pathophysiology of many disorders, and possible treatments.
stress interactions with the menstrual cycle
Many menstrual disorders may be related to physical or mental stress, both oligoamenorrhea (low periods that occur every month and a half or every two or three) as metrorrhagia (abundant menses). In fact these changes at young ages can be considered an indicator of stress, directly by the action of neurotransmitters in the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, and by the effect of stress on prolactina.Las hypersecretion of people working in shifts at night or who need to change time zone for work, pilots or flight attendants or vessels, also suffer from menstrual cycle disorders by alterations in the secretion of melatonin is the hormone that produces linear gland, located in the center head as the rest of the third eye atrophied had some fish. The relationship secretion of melatonin with the light is clear, and in the Nordic countries, with few hours of daylight in winter, melatonin production does not cease during the day and cause irregular menstrual cycles, especially cycles and little elongated period.
The direct effects of stress on menstrual disorders are Hyposecretion progesterone and metrorrhagia. But in the medium term produce anemia, or iron deficiency (low iron stores). Prior Jerylinn endocrinologist in Vancouver has also shown that deficiencies of progesterone or anovulatory that occurred in athletes, decreased bone mass, within a year. In the medium term, the consequence of hyperestrogenism be the presence of cysts in the breast, or fibrocystic breast with sometimes severe premenstrual pain, and breast tenderness, and then the increase of uterine fibroids, which occur mainly in women over 40 years , when progesterone secretion declines.
Diseases and environmental interactions that affect the menstrual cycle
balance and ovulation cycle, besides being influenced by nutrition, it is also anemia, and deficiencies of iron reserves, by disorders of thyroid function (both hyper and hypothyroidism) or alterations the other endocrine glands. Congenital disorders of the adrenal glands that produce body hair (hirsutism) on the beard or in the midline in women also disrupt the harmony of the cycle and poroducen called polycystic ovary syndrome that affects 5 to 10% of the female population . This syndrome in some cases only ovarian in origin. But liver disease, kidney disease, or chronic infections and autoimmune diseases can also alternate the cycle.
Weight loss directly affects the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins. The loss of 2 kg and the menstrual cycle occurs in the month following a decrease luteal phase, and if it continues to lose rapidly to below desirable body mass index, lost first ovulation and menstruation later. In fact what is presented in Anorexia Nervosa. Lack
scientific evidence on health consequences of menstrual balance and long-term consequences of its abolition
The lack of scientific studies of good evidence on the causes of menstrual disorders and the fact that efforts research has focused more on finding contraceptive medication to help cycle regulation. Before there would abolish what better learn to understand, since the intervention aggressive without studying the long run may cause more harm than good.
Before scientific knowledge were to most medical professionals and women themselves and interventions were made to abolish ovulation (administration of hormonal contraceptives), with the aim of liberating plan pregnancies, but intervening aggressively on women's bodies without knowing the long term.
Among women there is still a great ignorance of their own change and environmental interference and interpersonal persists and increases the "no tune" with the body of the women to away with the pursuit of equality.

Some women have their periods every 18 days, others every 36 days.
Some bleeding for two or three days, some eight or nine days.
