Menstruation( Periods): Myths and reality

Menstruation: Myths and Reality.                

   What is menstruation ( Periods in women's life cycle) ?

  Menstruation ( Periods)  can be simply defined as stream of blood which contains thicky substances and other substances present in uterus which came out due to non-availability of sperms ( present in males) through vagina.

 What causes menstruation ( Periods) in women?

Actually the periods take place due to non-availability of sperms in female's body due to not participating in any sexual relationship.

The ovaries present in female body are filled with lakhs of tiny pre matured eggs called ovum. At the age of about 12-13,these eggs starts to travel to fallopian tube. There due to non-availability of sperms ( because no sexual relation in established), these eggs die after 24 hours and came out with the thicky wall of lining which uterus prepares to carry the fertilized egg with a stream of blood.


Menstruation: A list of myths which needs to be ended....

(1)  The first myth is that during menstruation (periods), the girls looses their purity and hence should not enter places of worship like temples,churches,mosques etc.

This idiotic myth about menstruation is completely wrong. Girls can enter any place of worshp during their menstrual cycle ( periods) as it do not disturbs purity of girl and purity of that particular place and also it is their birth right which is guranteed by law as well as Constitution.  ( IN India, it is the right which is guranteed by Indian Constitution to all the citizens.)

(2) The second myth is that the girl cannot cook food for others nor can enter the kitchen. If the girl touches the food, it will turned rotten.

This myth is also very idiotic and girls should not pay attention to this kind of nonsense.

(3) The third myth about menstruation ( periods) is that girls must wash their hairs and then they will gain their purity.A girl or women can never loses their purity. The women and girls will always be pure.

This myth about menstruation is also very idiotic and I think the people who created these kind of myths are foolish and totally non-sense. Girls and women should straightly ignore these myths.


WE CAN MAKE A LIST OF THOUSANDS OF MYTHS AND TABOOS  ABOUT MENSTRUATION ( PERIODS) BUT IT HAS NO USE BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPLETELY NON-SENSE, NON-BIOLOGICAL,IDIOTIC AND WE ALL MUST IGNORE THEM..

A true incident which can be considered as a strong step in ending these myths is :

In India, there exists a very famous temple in Kerela ( Southern state of India). There is a myth as well as evil mentality present in SABRIMALAN TEMPLE that women and girls between 10 to 60 cannot enter the temple due to their periods. Some women challenge this practice in the Honourable Supreme Court Of India and a three judges bench in its decision declared this practice non-constitutional and discriminative and ends this practice and gave entry to women of all ages in the temple.

It is a excellent decision which can result in ending these kind of idiotic myths.....

Menstruation and ill mentality associated with it: Whats need to be done?

(1)    To end these myths, the young children especially boys should be aware of this natural process called MENSTRUATION ( PERIODS) AND PARENTS SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO DISCUSS ITS SIGNIFICANCE WITH THESE YOUNG MINDS AS THEY ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS WORLD. Once the children gets aware, the half of  the problem will get solved.

(2)     The adults specially senior citizens must change their mentality about menstruation or periods as they are a strong pillar for a big change.

(3) The children must taught about periods in the school by the class teacher or science teacher clearly without hesitation. A strong change can take place due to this education.Parents should not hesitate to reach their children about menstruation no matter they are boys or girls. Most of parents tune another channel when an advertisement of sanitary pads start on T.V which is not correct. If children are taught about this completely biological and natural and important process from their parents,they will develop respect as well as knowledge about menstruation and will not engage in discriminating girls due to their periods( menstruation) and the country would not have to face the crisis or evils that the girls faces while entering Sabrimala Temple of Kerela. I think the person or a sacred figure whom we call god if disrespect this process known as periods then sorry but I will not accept him/her as god/goddess or incarnation ( avtaar in Hindi) of any other form of god. I didn't understand how the purity of Lord Ayappa's temple- Sabrimala will break due to periods or menstrual cycle of the women followers.

(4) The YOUTH must understand the basic biological and natural  concept of menstruation and must try to bring the change. Campaigns,street plays,theatre performances must be given to change mentality of people.

A GOOD THING IS THAT NOW A DAYS YOUTH IS COMING FORWARD TO ENCOUNTER SUCH IDIOTIC MYTHS AND TO AWARE THE PEOPLE ABOUT MENSTRUATION.

MANUSHI CHILLAR, THE MISS WORLD 2017 BEFORE GOING TO THE COMPETITION IS ASSOCIATED TO BRING AWARENESS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS ON MENSTRUAL HYGIENE,MENSTRUATION WHICH IS A POSITIVE SIGN.


               MENSTRUAL HYGIENE: A NEED     

Menstrual hygiene is fundamental dignity of all the girls as well as women which is associated with the proper hygiene,cleanliness during menstrual cycle (periods). Girls and women must be aware of menstrual hygiene. Infact ,28th May is celebrated as MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY.

THE SANITARY PADS ARE A MUST NEED FOR MENSTRUAL HYGIENE. BUT TODAY,NOT ALL WOMEN USES THE SANITARY PADS AND MOST OF THEM ARE NOT AWRE OF IT WHICH IS A PROBLEM. SANITARY PADS MUST BE POPULARISED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD EVEN IN VILLAGES TO ENCOURAGE MENSTRUAL HYGIENE.



ACCORDING TO ME,THE MYTHS ABOUT MENSTRUATION ARE IDIOTIC AND SHOULD BE IGNORED. MENSTRUATION IS A PROCESS DUE TO WHICH HUMAN RACE MANAGED TO SURVIVE. THE WOMEN MUST LIVE WITH THEIR DIGNITY AS WELL AS SELF-RESPECT DURING THEIR PERIODS OR MENSTRUAL CYCLE.

THE YOUTH SHOULD COME FORWARD TO ENCOUNTER SUCH EVIL THOUGHTS. MENSTRUATION (PERIODS) IS A TOTALLY  NATURAL PROCESS WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR SURVIVAL AND ALSO ONLY WOMEN HAS THE COURAGE TO CARRY THIS PROCESS. MENSTRUATION IS NOT A ISSUE AT GLOBAL LEVEL NATURALLY,BUT THE MINDSET OF PEOPLE HAD MADE IT A GLOBAL ISSUE ( SOCIAL AS WELL AS BIOLOGICAL) WHICH NEED TO BE TACKLED SERIOUSLY. I HAD TO WRITE ABOUT THIS MENSTRUAL PROCESS JUST BECAUSE OF EVIL MINDSET OF SOCIETY AND PEOPLE. MENSTRUAL PROCESS IS NATURAL,BIOLOGICAL AND IT DO  NOT TAKE AWAY THE PURITY OF WOMEN. LIVE WITH DIGNITY BECAUSE WOMEN HAS THE ONLY COURAGE TO MANAGE THIS PROCESS AS IT CAUSES PAIN.. WHICH THE MALES CAN'T IMAGINE AND I DON'T THINK THEY ( INCLUDING ME) CAN'T BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND OR CAN MANAGE. NATURE KNOWS THAT WOMEN ARE MORE STRONGER,EFFICIENT,RELIABLE THAN MAN AT EVERY STAGE.REMINDING YOU THAT BECAUSE OF THIS PROCESS WE ALL ARE BORN AND THE LIFE ON EARTH CONTINUES TO GROW. WE MUST ABOLIS OUR EVIL MENTALITY ON PERIODS OR MENSTRUATION. 

Dear women,

Please live with complete dignity as well as self respect during your periods. Do not hesitate to go to places of worship like temples,mosques,churches etc during your periods. No ultimate force can make you impure.

  3. When it comes to managing menstrual health, including sleep quality, dietary supplements like Sleep Support Supplement can be beneficial. Adequate sleep is essential for overall well-being, and supplements can support healthy sleep patterns.

    However, it's important to note that dietary supplements should not replace medical advice or treatments. Women should consult with healthcare professionals to address any menstrual health concerns and explore holistic approaches that include lifestyle modifications, dietary supplements, and medical interventions for optimal menstrual health.
