Generally speaking, the physiological period refers to the monthly menstruation that mature women have. However, many people don't understand the benefits of women's menstruation. Next, I will introduce them one by one.
1. The first sign of pregnancy
According to the regular menstrual cycle, if menstruation is delayed by more than ten days, women need to consider whether they are pregnant. The menstrual cycle can also be used to calculate the expected due date, which is very beneficial for prenatal care and mental health during pregnancy.
2. Early detection of problems
When girls enter puberty and develop secondary sexual characteristics, menstruation begins. However, if a girl is over 18 years old and still has not had her first period, it is called primary amenorrhea. In addition, changes in the timing, amount, and accompanying symptoms of menstruation are important clues for detecting and diagnosing many diseases.
3. Avoid excessive iron damage
There is a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which can cause an imbalance in iron metabolism in patients, resulting in excessive accumulation of iron in the body. Excessive iron can cause organ damage. However, menstruation, which involves periodic blood loss, can help consume excess iron. Therefore, this hereditary disease rarely harms women.
4. Promote hematopoietic function
The periodic blood loss in women promotes hematopoiesis, allowing the female circulatory and hematopoietic systems to have a "training" that males do not have. This makes women more able to withstand the impact of unexpected blood loss and enables them to quickly produce new blood to compensate for the lost blood.
