What is the monthly for girls? How many last and why does the blood go?
Every month every woman who has reached puberty, menstruation occurs( monthly, critical days).They are direct evidence that the body can produce offspring. In this case, menstruation is accompanied by a change in the whole body. The female body produces specific chemicals called hormones that affect not only fertility( fertility), but also the health of the girl as a whole, the work of her organs and her well-being. Today you will learn all the interesting information about the "critical days".
Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that consists in the cyclic peeling of the uterine epithelium( endometrium) due to characteristic changes in the concentration of sex hormones( estrogens and progesterone) within the systemic and reciprocal connection between the sex glands, anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus.
The full course of hormonal changes, along with the restoration of the endometrium, the transformation of the internal environment of the vagina, changes in the breast, body temperature, influences on the autonomic nervous system, cardiovascular system, psychological mood and other body functions is called the menstrual cycle.
Out of the periods of pregnancy, lactation and taking hormonal contraceptives in healthy women of childbearing age, physiologically menstruation is repeated regularly: approximately every 28 days( different women have different follicle maturation) and lasts about 4 days( normalthe duration is from 3 to 8 days).
The first menstruation( menarche) marks the beginning of the period of puberty. It occurs at the age of about 12-13 years. The last menstrual period determines menopause, which borders between puberty and old age of women. At the end of the last menstruation in the life of a woman comes menopause. This occurs most often between 45 and 55 years of life.
A regular menstrual cycle is called eumenorrhea. During menstruation occurs a physiological bleeding, that is, blood is allocated. Normal blood volume is in the range of 10-80 ml. In normal menstrual blood, there should be no clots due to a local increase in the activity of plasmin, which has a fibrinolytic effect.
After the end of menstrual bleeding, the second phase of the menstrual cycle begins. Under the action of progesterone in the endometrium, so-called spiral arteries grow. After the progesterone production is discontinued, the yellow body is twisted, as a result the epithelium does not receive nutrition and exfoliates, affecting the blood vessels.

According to one hypothesis, menstruation is the main reason why humanity invented clothing. Our ancestors lived in Africa, so they did not need clothes to protect the body from the cold. While all the people walked naked, they could not know the shame associated with nudity. But menstruation is not a very aesthetic sight, so it is with them that the reason why women for the first time want to cover up their intimate organs can be related.
Indirectly, this hypothesis is confirmed by the ancient taboos of all tribes and nationalities associated with menstruation, as well as the fact that in a hot climate the female population from all types of clothing uses only skirts( we mean representatives of African tribes).
Now it's time to debunk the most popular myths about menstruation.
That's all we wanted to say. As you can see, there is nothing terrible or supernatural in menstruation - it is a natural process that every girl should be taken for granted. Without critical days it is impossible to be a full-fledged woman.
The essence of menstruation
Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that consists in the cyclic peeling of the uterine epithelium( endometrium) due to characteristic changes in the concentration of sex hormones( estrogens and progesterone) within the systemic and reciprocal connection between the sex glands, anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus.

How long and how the menstrual cycle of the girl passes
Out of the periods of pregnancy, lactation and taking hormonal contraceptives in healthy women of childbearing age, physiologically menstruation is repeated regularly: approximately every 28 days( different women have different follicle maturation) and lasts about 4 days( normalthe duration is from 3 to 8 days).
The first menstruation( menarche) marks the beginning of the period of puberty. It occurs at the age of about 12-13 years.

After the progesterone production is discontinued, the yellow body is twisted, as a result the epithelium does not receive nutrition and exfoliates, affecting the blood vessels.
A decrease in the level of progesterone is a sign indicating that there is no implantation of the embryo into the uterine cavity. During pregnancy, under the influence of the chorionic gonadotropin, the yellow body turns into the yellow body of pregnancy, which is a prerequisite for the maintenance and development of the fetus in the first 4 months.

Myths about menstruation
Now it's time to debunk the most popular myths about menstruation.
- You can not bathe during your period. On the contrary. Personal hygiene at this time is extremely important - in its absence, inflammation in the reproductive organs can begin. But a bath with hot water can increase bleeding, so doctors recommend taking a warm shower.
- During menstruation, do not exercise .The truth is that during "critical days" you should limit excessive physical activity due to loss of blood. But light exercises can reduce pain and improve mood.
- Delay in menstruation indicates pregnancy .Maybe, but not always. Menstruation may not start because of hormonal disorders, thyroid disorders, excessive prolactin levels, the intake of some oral contraceptives, the onset of menopause.
- Menstruation protects against pregnancy .In fact, intimate intimacy during critical days does not completely prevent pregnancy. In the case of very short cycles, ovulation may occur on the 10-11 days of the cycle. Given that spermatozoa can survive in the genital tract of a woman up to 7 days, the sexual act on the fifth or sixth day of menstruation( even if the bleeding has not yet ended) can eventually lead to conception.
- During menstruation, you can not have sex with .It's a matter of taste. Some women during this period feel strong sexual arousal, and other women do not imagine intimate intimacy during bleeding. But keep in mind that with a month-old girl is more vulnerable to infection( since the cervix is uncovered, and bacteria can easily enter there).Therefore, if you decide to have sex, you need to remember about hygiene.
