Reasons Why Menstruation and menstrual Cycle Hygiene is inescapable

 If you permit me whole heartedly, I will say Menstruation and menstrual Cycle is indeed
unavoidable. There should be no cause for alarm if at any time, after the age
of about ten, you notice discharge of blood from a girl or ladies vagina. This
is called menstruation, and it’s
very traditional, I may say it is part of the business of growing up.
Menstruation is normal and natural part of sexual maturity.

Girls who have not been told about menstruation in advance
can be unnecessarily frightened by the appearance of tissue and blood. It is
not an illness, neither is it unclean, as some might look at it. Menstruating
females/ladies and girls can do all things they are used to doing and even very
well.
MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Every month, the ovary releases matured ovum (eggs) into the
fallopian tube, and this is called ovulation. The ovum passes down the tube
into the womb. Every month, the womb prepares to receive a fertilized ovum. The
inner lining of the womb thickens and there is an increase in the blood supply
to it. If the ovum does not become fertilized by sperm, the thickened linings
breaks down, and is shed with some of the blood through the vagina. Normally,
this takes three to five days. The shedding of the inner lining of the uterus
is menstruation, commonly called menses or period. It normally takes place
monthly.
The process of preparation of the linking of the womb and
the shedding of this lining happens every 28 to 30 days. This time, from the beginning
of one period to the beginning of the next one is what is called MENSTRUAL CYCLE.
The first day of one menstrual cycle is the day the
discharge of blood begins. The last day of that menstrual cycle is the day in which
the next menstrual discharge begins. So without missing words, the first day of
a menstrual discharge coincides with the last day of the last menstrual cycle,
Ovulation happens midway between the first day of one period and the first day
of the next.
Understand this that Menstruation stops during pregnancy and
resumes immediately after the birth of a baby.
 When writing about delicate issues of this nature, chemical substances
which facilitate or catalyzes its performance cycle is the hormone. The hormone
associated in this case is the Oestrogen
and Progesterone.
These are sex hormones responsible for growth and development
in females. The Oestrogen hormone stimulates the growth of the breast tissue,
promotes the growth of the uterus and the thickening of the vagina lining.
Every month, the peer shaped uterus, the organ in which the fertilized egg
develops, prepares to receive and nourish a fertilized egg. In response to the
hormone levels in the body, the worlds of the uterus grow a soft thick lining. This
build-up is rich with extra blood and all the things that are needed to nourish
a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the lining of the uterus is shed
[that is menstruation occurs] and
subsequently a new lining is built-up when the woman ovulates again.
Menstruation called menses
is the blood and tissue that comes from the uterus when fertilization does
not occur. It is the self-cleaning action of a healthy uterus.Menstruation is the monthly shedding of the inner lining of
the non-pregnant uterus in females from puberty till menopause.
Menstruation is an important development milestone for girls
in as much the same way wet dreams are
for boys.
From puberty to menopause, a healthy woman or lady who is
not pregnant will continually menstruate.The first menses in ladies/girls is called MENARCHE. Some women menstruate every
28 days; some have longer or shorter cycles.
NOTE: During the first few years of menstruation, the
periods are not very regular. Periods can last from 2-8 days, with four days
being the average length of menstrual flow. In some women, the menstruation periods
are accompanied by cramps or belly aches, back aches, tenderness in breast, pimples,
or even heightened sensory perception. This heightened sensitivity may make
some women less tolerant, more irritable, and more easily tired.
During menstruation, sanitary products like towels, or
cotton pads are used to absorbed the tissue and blood as it leaves the vagina. Sanitary
products should be changed at least every four hours even on days when the
menstrual flow is light.
