A certain day in a woman’s menstrual cycle is usually called “menstruation”. The name comes from the process of releasing an egg and uterine contractions once a month in a woman. Although menstruation is very important for women's physical and reproductive health, many people may have some misunderstandings or are unfamiliar with it. In this article, we'll look at some common misconceptions and questions about menstruation, and how to better understand and cope with it.

Although menstruation occurs once in each menstrual cycle, not every woman experiences the same cycle. Some women may experience shorter or longer menstrual cycles, or only ovulate once a month. In addition, some women may experience menstrual abnormalities during puberty or after marriage, such as heavy or light menstruation, abnormal color, etc. Therefore, menstruation is not a normal physiological process that occurs once a month, but a phenomenon that varies from person to person.

Myth 2: Menstruation is the only way for eggs to be released

While menstruation is the only way an egg is released, there are other steps a woman needs to undergo during the reproductive process, such as fertilization, implantation, and development. In addition, the eggs released by women every month are not a one-time event, but a continuous process. The eggs released each time can be combined with other sperm to form a new life.

Myth 3: Menstruation is a “pain” that occurs once a month

Menstruation can cause discomfort and pain for some women, but most women experience no pain. The degree of menstrual pain varies from person to person, with some women experiencing mild discomfort and others experiencing intense pain. If a woman feels discomfort during her period, she can seek help from her doctor to relieve pain and discomfort.

Myth 4: Menstruation is a “flood” and “garbage”

In some cultures, menstruation is seen as a "flood" and "trash," which can cause some women to feel uneasy and fearful. However, menstruation is not "garbage" in the female body, but a monthly reproductive process that is closely related to women's physical and reproductive health.

Myth 5: Menstruation is a “once-a-month sexual act”

Although menstruation is the process of releasing an egg, it does not mean that it is a once-a-month sexual activity. Menstruation and sexual intercourse are two different processes, and they are not directly related. Additionally, menstruation does not lead to orgasm because the egg cannot combine with the sperm.

Understanding and understanding menstruation is very important as it is vital to a woman’s physical and reproductive health. Hopefully this article can help women better understand and cope with menstruation, as well as reduce misunderstandings and unnecessary worries.
