For many women, menstruation is one of the most annoying things about being female. However, your period represents vitality and fertility, and it prepares your body to create new life through a fertilized egg. Menstruation is a very important and very visible part of the overall menstrual cycle experienced by women over the course of 28 days.
Menstruation, commonly called a period, is often preceded by things like cramps, bloating, constipation, and irritability. Some women suffer from premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, which includes extreme moodiness. On the other hand, some women have reported an increase in energy, sexual drive, and feelings of relief before the start of their periods.
First, it is important to understand the source of the blood from menstruation. One of the important internal female reproductive components is the uterus. The uterus is where an egg implants so that a baby can grow and develop inside the womb. As hormones promote the development and release of eggs, they also stimulate the thickening of the uterine lining. This prepares the uterus to receive a fertilized egg.
After ovulation, an egg lives for about 12-24 hours while it waits to meet sperm. If it is not fertilized and implanted in the uterus, then other hormones cause the uterus to shed its lining. This is the blood in menstruation. Most women’s periods last 3-7 days as the lining is lost and then rebuilt. This shedding and rebuilding allows for the uterus to stay fresh and nourishing for any potential pregnancy.
With oral contraceptives, the hormones in these pills can help you regulate your period. However, some of the hormones in birth control can disrupt other important organs in your body. Birth control pills like YAZ, Yasmin, and Ocella have been linked to problems like stroke, heart attack, and gallbladder problems.
