The 4 phases of our menstrual cycle

🩸 Menstruation (Days 1-5) - the phase where we bleed; this is when the uterus sheds its lining due to drop in hormone levels, resulting in bleeding for 3-5 days.

🌱 Follicular phase (Days 6-14)- This is when the body prepares for ovulation by producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the growth of a follicle in the ovary. As the follicle grows, it produces estrogen, which thickens the uterine lining. Ovulation typically occurs around Day 14.

🐣 Ovulation (Day 14)- This is when the mature follicle releases an egg into the fallopian tube. The surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation. This phase is usually the most fertile time of the menstrual cycle.

😴 Luteal phase (Days 15-28) - This is when the ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to thicken the uterine lining and prepare it for possible implantation of a fertilized egg. If the egg is not fertilized, hormone levels drop, and the uterine lining sheds during the next menstrual phase.

I believe it’s so important we know our menstrual cycle phases and get in tune with our own bodies.

This way we can identify what’s normal for us and what is not.

With this post, I want to give you a little general idea of the four phases so we can discuss all about normal menstruation and menstrual disorders in the next posts.

Please read ‼️ One day I received a message from a man who calls himself a feminist shaming me for making comics about periods. He first insulted my English (?) and then proceeded to shame me and bring me down for sharing my experiences with my period in my comics and being period positive. Then he blocked me before I could even respond. My immediate thought was: why does he call himself a feminist? And then I made this. It’s been sitting in my image library for months. I didn’t want to share it without more information. So please read below: 🚨 Globally, an estimated 500 million people who menstruate lack access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities. 🚨 There are an estimated 16.9 million people who menstruate living in poverty in the United States. 🚨52% of Brazilian people who menstruate have suffered from period poverty at some point, having no access to basic higiene items like water, pads and tampons. 🚨 Around 2,9 million of students have missed class for lack of basic period higiene items at least once in Brazil. 🚨 A study involving college-aged individuals who menstruate reported that 14.2% had experienced period poverty in 2020 in the US. An additional 10.0% experienced it every month. These are only a few of the data collected around this topic about Brazil (my country) and the US. There are even more disturbing data like people using toilet paper, newspaper, and even pieces of bread(!) to absorb the period blood 🩸 Please make an effort to quickly google about the topic in your country and see what the data there is. Feel free to share in the comments to raise everyone’s awareness to this issue. So what do we do??? Under capitalism we can donate and what not, but poverty will continue to exist since capitalism itself can’t exist without it. The answer? I’ll let you connect the dots. #periodpoverty #periodproblems #periodpositive #capitalism #pobrezamenstrual #comicstrip #daniellepioli #sliceoflife https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnzpFIAl4t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Understanding the Basics of Menstruation and Menstrual Health with Nevex

Menstruation is a natural and essential process that many people experience, involving the shedding of the uterine lining. However, it's much more than just a monthly occurrence; it significantly impacts physical and emotional well-being. Understanding menstruation and maintaining proper menstrual health are crucial for overall wellness.

The Importance of Menstrual Health

Menstrual health encompasses more than just managing the bleeding. It involves a comprehensive understanding of one's body, effectively handling symptoms, and maintaining hygiene. Common experiences during menstruation include cramps, bloating, and mood swings. These symptoms, while sometimes uncomfortable, are entirely normal and should not be a source of shame.

Good menstrual hygiene is critical for preventing infections and ensuring comfort. This includes using clean and safe menstrual products, changing them regularly, and maintaining overall cleanliness. Unfortunately, not everyone has easy access to these products, particularly in public spaces, which can lead to stressful situations.

Nevex's Innovative Solution: Coin-Based Sanitary Pad Vending Machines

To address the challenges of accessing menstrual products in public spaces, Nevex has introduced an innovative solution: coin-based sanitary pad vending machines. These machines are designed to provide a quick, convenient, and discreet way to obtain sanitary pads.

Placed in strategic locations such as schools, offices, and public areas, these vending machines ensure that clean sanitary pads are always just a coin away. This solution is particularly beneficial for those who find themselves without a pad when they need it most. The ease of access provided by these machines means that no one has to worry about being unprepared.

Empowering Through Convenience and Accessibility

Nevex's vending machines are more than just a convenience; they represent a commitment to supporting menstrual health and dignity. By making sanitary products easily accessible, we are helping to ensure that everyone can manage their periods with ease and respect. Menstrual health is a vital aspect of overall well-being, and making it a priority is essential.

Join Us in Promoting Menstrual Health and Breaking the Stigma

At Nevex, we believe in the importance of open conversations about menstruation. By discussing periods openly and breaking down the stigma associated with them, we can create a more supportive and understanding environment for everyone.

We invite you to join us in this movement. Share your thoughts and experiences about menstrual health and our vending machines. Let's work together to make menstrual products accessible to all and end the stigma surrounding menstruation.

MENSTRUATION HISTORY

Menstruation, the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus, has been a fundamental aspect of human biology and reproductive health throughout history. While the biological process itself remains constant, the social, cultural, and medical attitudes towards menstruation have varied significantly across different cultures and time periods. Here is an overview of how menstruation has been perceived and managed in history:

Ancient Cultures:

 In many ancient cultures, menstruation was often associated with concepts of fertility and power. In some societies, menstruating women were even considered sacred due to their connection with the life-giving force of reproduction. For example, in ancient Egypt, menstrual blood was believed to have protective and healing properties.

Religious and Superstitious Beliefs:

 Some societies held superstitious beliefs about menstruation. Women were often isolated or considered impure during their periods. In Hinduism, for instance, menstruating women were historically kept separate from others and considered ritually impure. Similar practices were found in various other cultures and religions.

Medical Understanding and Misunderstanding:

 Throughout much of history, there was limited understanding of the biological processes involved in menstruation. Many societies attributed menstrual symptoms to mysterious causes, and various remedies and rituals were practiced to alleviate discomfort. It wasn't until more recent centuries that a more accurate understanding of the menstrual cycle emerged.

19th Century:

The 19th century marked a significant period of change in how menstruation was understood. Medical knowledge about the female reproductive system advanced, leading to the development of more accurate explanations for menstruation. However, the topic was still surrounded by taboos, and open discussions were uncommon.

20th Century:

 Menstruation started to be viewed more openly as medical advancements continued. The invention and widespread use of disposable sanitary products, like tampons and pads, in the mid-20th century significantly transformed how menstruating individuals managed their periods. Menstrual hygiene became a focus, and education about menstruation started to become more common.

 Feminist Movement :

In the latter half of the 20th century, feminist movements played a crucial role in destigmatizing menstruation. Activists advocated for open conversations about periods, challenging the shame and secrecy that had surrounded the topic for centuries. This led to greater awareness, improved menstrual education, and initiatives to make menstrual products more accessible.

Contemporary Attitudes:

 Today, attitudes toward menstruation vary widely across cultures and regions. While many societies have made strides in normalizing conversations about periods and providing better menstrual education, there are still places where stigma and misinformation persist. Additionally, discussions around menstrual equity, access to affordable menstrual products, and the impact of menstruation on various aspects of life, such as education and work, continue to be important topics.

In conclusion, the history of menstruation reflects the complex interplay of cultural, religious, medical, and social factors. Over time, there has been a gradual shift from superstition and secrecy to greater understanding and acceptance, although challenges related to stigma and inequity still persist in various parts of the world.
