These are the importance of studying menstrual cycle that you should know!
IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING MENSTRUAL CYCLE – Here are the reasons why studying the menstrual cycle is an important thing.
Menstruation is the monthly period or bleeding of a woman and this is entirely normal. This happens because every month, the body gets ready to get pregnant and if it did not occur, the uterus will shed its lining. The “blood” released that lasts from three to five days is partly blood and partly tissue.
There are surely still a lot of things that we don’t know yet about menstruation. We are not fully equipped about why it happens, how it happens, and how it affects the health of a woman. It has four main phases: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase.
Among the common problems that a woman encounter during menstruation includes premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, heavy bleeding, and amenorrhea.
According to the post of the University of Edinburgh, here are some of the few reasons why it is important to study the menstrual cycle:
- to prevent period problems
- to improve and develop treatments
To study this is significant also because the body prepares for pregnancy every month, to know your fertile days, take note of some changes like headaches and mood disturbances, and in order to maintain proper hygiene. By knowing what happens, precautions will be taken.
The period also tells a lot about the health of a woman. Just like painful or irregular periods, this could be an indication of something serious.
Generally, the hormones that handle your cycle are responsible for why there are days you are emotionally, mentally, and physically in limbo. If you’re having problems with your period, it can possibly lead to the following health problems:
- anemia because of heavy bleeding
- asthma
- depression due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
- diabetes
- heart disease and stroke
- osteoporosis
- problems to getting pregnant
