【健康科普】就算女生都未必完全知道的月經小知識

#月經是正常的生理現象男生也要知道
#壓力和飲食也會令月經不正常
#星期一BlueMonday

你了解「大姨媽」嗎？
女性半生都與月經為伴，這位每月來訪的親戚，大家都對它愛恨交纏，它早來了會令你手足無措，遲來了更令你寢食難安！其實月經彷如女生每月的健康成績表，因為它的量、顏色、質地、經期前後的不適，都在告訴你身體狀況。

。月經是甚麼？。
月經是剝落的子宮內膜，為了迎接每個月的卵子著床，子宮內膜會增厚，一旦沒有懷孕，就會自動脫落，那就是月經了。

。正常的月經。
週期：一般約為28天，21-35天亦屬正常範圍。
日數：一般為4-5日，3-7日亦屬正常範圍。
經量：一般為50-80毫升，以第二、三天最多，之後逐漸減少。
顏色：暗紅色
質地：不稀不稠，不凝固，無血塊，沒有特殊異味。
經期不適：輕微的乳房發脹、小腹發脹及情緒變化屬正常現象。

如果你的月經狀況偏離以上的範圍，或者出現不適症狀，就屬於「月經失調」，例如量少只來兩天便結束、或者量多如血崩、每次月經都伴隨嚴重痛經、頭痛、腰痠背痛等，都代表月經不順，需要對症下藥。

。記錄你的月經狀況。
有沒有發現診症時醫師會問你上一次月經的狀況？因為這些資料都有助醫師診斷和用藥，所以以後好好記錄經期日子、長短、經量變化、經期不適症狀，有助醫師參考斷症。

How well do you know your period?
Ladies spend a good half of their life having periods, and many view this monthly visitor with both love and hate. If the period arrives early, you become helpless; if it is late, it may cause anxiety! Menstruation is a report card for a lady’s health, its volume, color, texture and pre and post discomfort all give clues to body condition.

What is menstruation?
Menstruation is the discharge of blood from the lining of the uterus as it prepares for next month’s egg. The lining thickens and when there is no pregnancy, the lining comes off and that is menstruation.

Normal Menstruation:
Cycle: usually 28 days, 21-35 days are within normal range
Duration: usually 4-5 days, 3-7 days are within normal range
Color: dark red
Texture: not too watery and not too thick, and does not coagulate without blood clots, and without unusual smell
Discomfort: tender breasts, abdominal bloating and some mood changes are normal

If your menstruation strays from above ranges and has unusual discomfort, it means you have irregular menstruation. Example symptoms include short (2 days) duration, unusual menstrual pain, headaches and back pain. It would be important to seek proper treatment.

Record your menstruation
Do you notice that your practitioner always asks about your last period? This information helps to find your diagnosis and proper medicine. So be sure to properly record dates of your menstruation, duration, volume changes, and menstrual discomfort for your practitioner to review.

Training and Nutrition Around The Menstrual Cycle with Ben Siong

A really informative chat with fitness and health expert Ben Siong. For all my sisters, who have always questioned bout why they have irregular periods, why they bloat, why they have painful periods, what's the possible cause for bleeding more than two weeks here's a video that will help explain those questions!

The human body is very complicated and my dear sisters, ours is even more complicated cause we have a thing called the period. Ben is one of the few coaches who takes the time to not only understand the physiology of the body but also the mind which is incredibly crucial. I do hope you take away valueable information from this video, because Ben's had shared a lot of his expertise during this 1 hour. :)

Questions Timestamps:

1:50 We hear a lot from old folks that women shouldn’t lift lower body higher than stomach for optimal reproductive system. Truth or myth?

8:25 Should we train during period?

10:15 Pre period - what to eat to avoid bloating (if ur vegan or vegetarian) so u still have the energy to lift weights?

15:16 What exercises to do pre period so that during menses it’s less painful?

16:55 Why do some cycles end quicker for instance as quick as 4 days? Should she consult the gynae?

21:00 My Personal encounter of bleeding 4 months straight, what would have been the response for excessive bleeding?

24:00 Brief chat on understanding PCOS and PCO

29:27 In a paper "Preliminary Evidence for a Window of Increased Vulnerability to Sustain a Concussion in Females: A Brief Report" the author states that declining or low levels of estrogen and progesterone (specifically in the late luteal phase and first two days of menstruation) can reduce neuroprotection and blunt recovery time from traumatic brain injury symptoms (i.e. concussions). Would those decreased levels of hormones, and reduced neuroprotection also impact CNS recovery? And would female athletes have to then avoid highly taxing sessions/peaking periods during this time frame?

37:11 I've read that lower back pain during menstruation is caused by the uterus swelling which can create pressure on the uterosacral ligaments and lead to pain in the lower back and pelvis. Is this accurate? If so should females generally avoid deadlifts/front squats/lower back intensive exercises during this period? Should they be left out entirely, or replaced by something else?

38:21 Besides the supplementation of magnesium and iron, are there other ways we should change the way we eat around our cycles?

39:48 Personally, I do workout during this period of time & it does make me feel better.
However, I realised that if I perform very high intensity workout on the first two days of my period, I tend to have lesser flow for the month. I feel completely well & healthy but I’m not sure if that’s something I should be worried about

41:53: I have irregular period, in that case what type of training and nutrition I should opt for coach?
