Menstruation

Menstruation is the routine discharge, or release, of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus. This process occurs about once a month from the time a female reaches puberty until menopause. During pregnancy, the monthly menstrual cycle is absent while the womb nourishes the growing fetus.

Tampons and swimming?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tampons and swimming? Absolutely! Tampons are a great option for women who want to swim during their period. Unlike pads, tampons are discreet and won't get in the way of your workout or beach day. They are designated to be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, allowing you to move freely in the water without any worry.

When it comes to choosing the right tampon for swimming, I highly recommend Sirona Tampons.

Is it hard to become an OBGYN?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Becoming an obstetrician and gynecologist (OBGYN) can be a challenging but rewarding journey. It requires a huge amount of time, education and commitment. Here are some factors to consider when assessing the difficulty of becoming an OBGYN:

• Long training: Becoming an OBGYN is a very long process and requires tremendous amount of time. It takes 12 to 16 years to become an OBGYN. This includes 4.5 years of undergraduate study,1 year of internship, 4 years of medical college, and 4-6 years of residency and fellowship training.

• Rigorous Coursework: A solid background in science and biology is necessary for the OBGYN program's rigorous training. A course in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology is also required of students.

• Competitive residency: OBGYN residency programs are extremely competitive, and candidates need to have excellent academic records and letters of recommendation.

However, you can make your journey a bit easier for yourself and stay ahead from the competition by opting for an online course- OBGYN MD by Dr. Aswath Kumar on DigiNerve. The course will help you in gaining clarity on a lot of difficult topics. You can also study from the notes that are provided with the course. And in addition to that, There are self assessment questions as well for students to evaluate their learnings from the course.

Can a boy know by looking at a girl is going through her period?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, for the most part a boy cannot tell that a girl is menstruating simply by looking at her.

There can be some ways to tell by looking alone, for example if she is unfortunate enough to experience a leak while the boy is around or her menstrual pads are showing somehow. In some cases girls skin may worsen, such as acne break-outs on the chin, but this isn't true for all girls at all times.

Egg cell production?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For conception to take place, a mature egg cell, or ovum, must be at the right place at the right time. Conception takes place when a sperm penetrates the egg cell and fertilizes it, and the two cells combine to form a new life.

Let's take a quick look at some of a woman's key reproductive organs and see how they function during menstruation and ovulation, two processes that are critical in preparing her for conception.

Here are the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina.

You can see a cut-away view of one of the ovaries on the right. The purple structures inside the ovary are immature egg cells, or oocytes. All of the 400,000 egg cells a woman will ever produce are already present in her ovaries when she is born, although the eggs are in an undeveloped form.

The average age that girls begin to menstruate is 12 years old. Each menstrual cycle occurs approximately every twenty-eight days. During each cycle, hormonal messages from the brain cause the ovaries to develop a single mature egg cell for potential fertilization, even as other hormones instruct the uterine lining to thicken in preparation for nourishing the fertilized egg cell.

As you may know, hormones are chemicals released into the blood stream by organs or glands. In general, their job is to regulate body functions by either stimulating or inhibiting other cells or organs. The ovaries are just one of the many organs in the body regulated by hormones.

The cycle starts when a follicle grows within one of the ovaries. A follicle is composed of the developing egg cell and the support cells that surround and nourish it.

Throughout the first portion of the cycle, a small structure in the brain, the pituitary, releases hormones, mostly FSH. This causes follicles to begin growing.

One of the follicles becomes dominant and releases estrogen, a hormone that prepares the lining of the uterus to receive a fertilized egg cell. Meanwhile, the estrogen in the blood stream causes the brain to release a surge of LH. In response to the LH surge, the follicle enlarges rapidly. About 24 to 36 hours after the LH surge, the follicle ruptures and releases the egg cell in a process known as ovulation.

The ruptured follicle begins secreting the hormone progesterone, which also helps to prepare the uterine lining for a fertilized egg cell.

The large structure on the right is the entrance to the fallopian tube. The smaller, waving structures at its opening are called fimbriae. They're moving a lot because it's their job to sweep the egg cell into the fallopian tube's entrance and toward the uterus.

Once the egg cell is within the fallopian tube, one of two things will happen to it: it will either be fertilized by a sperm cell, or fertilization will fail to take place.

If the egg cell is NOT fertilized within 12 to 24 hours after its release from the ovary, it will stop developing and will dissolve before reaching the uterus.

The absence of a fertilized egg cell gradually causes a woman's body to stop releasing the hormones that would otherwise prepare the uterus for the developing egg cell. In response, the uterus sheds its lining. Menstruation signifies the start of the next menstrual cycle and lasts from 2 to 7 days.

If the egg cell DOES become fertilized by a sperm, it will be transported by tiny hair-like cells called cilia to the uterus. There, it lodges in the uterine wall in a process called implantation, and receives nourishment from the uterine lining.

Meanwhile, back in the ovary, the remaining cells of the ruptured follicle produce progesterone so that the uterine lining will stay rich in blood vessels, and the fertilized egg cell will survive.

As you can see, the hormones, which control the reproductive system, maintain a delicate balance over the life cycle of the egg cell.

Well, there are some factors that can prevent a girl from getting her period, or cause it to be delayed. The obvious reasons are if she is pregnant, or on birth control. Otherwise, some factors could be sudden weight gain or loss, because it chnages the hormone levels in the body very rapidly. Some medications might cause a missed period. Stress can also result in a missed period or two.

A period, or periods can go from regular to irregular. Especially during puberty, when you can miss the monthly periods for a long time. Don't get worried over it, it's completely normal to miss some.

How can you releive menstrual cramp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

due to high pottasium levels bananas are said to cure menstual cramp (period pain)

Answer

There are some yoga poses that help to get relieve for menstrual cramp. From the start to the end of the menstruation period, a woman should stick to the practice of selected asanas to remain healthy. But some asanas should be avoided that block the flow of menstrual flow and bloods.

The asanas like Adho Mukha Svanasana, Parsvottonasana, Ardha Chandrasana and Uttanasana will help during menstruation.

These asanas ease menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, pelvic discomfort and the low back pain associated with menses. They also help smoothen out the emotional rough edges some women encounter at this time of their cycle.

A menstruating should avoid inverted poses like Viparita Karani, Adho Mukha Vrikshasana, arm-balances such as Bakasana.

Is having small spots of brown blood menstruation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Brown just means it is old blood, rather than fresh. A spotty, brown discharge during your period is a sign of an irregular period, and isn't necessarily abnormal. Many women experience it at least once in their lives, or even on a recurring basis. You can talk to your doc if you think there might be something wrong, or if you have abnormal pain.

How do you handle your period in middle school?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You carry a purse with a number of pads in it. When you have your period you tend to gain weight, and be just a little bit pudgier, but don't worry it's normal, and all it takes is eating healthy and doing light exercises. Also when you go to school don't were tight jeans, or eally any tight clothing. It can make you uncomfortable, and probably cause cramps. Also don't wear where white underpants,(you know just in case). Wear your most comfortable clothes. If you're prone to having a lot of cramps, then tell your school nurse, and mom, so you'll be allowed to have advil, and relief medicine for cramps at school And most middle schools have sanitary disposal cases in the bathroom stalls for your period. Really periods can be alright in middle school, and the more you realize it you'll see you're not the only one.
