There are many myths about menstruation, and despite how absurd many of them sound, some women have doubts about the veracity of what they’ve heard. Furthermore, many of these things are assumed to be true. So, today I’m bringing you the myths and truths about menstruation.<\/p>\n

Myths and Truths<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If I have my period, I can’t get pregnant.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is false. Although it’s not common, there is a small possibility that a woman can become pregnant.<\/p>\n

Menstruation can cause temporary anemia.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This is indeed possible. During menstruation, about 30 milliliters of blood are lost, but some women can lose up to 80 milliliters. In these cases, temporary anemia can occur.<\/p>\n

The duration of menstruation varies according to the climate.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This is correct. In countries with distinct seasons, it has been shown that women experience more discomfort in winter. According to experts, there is greater ovarian activity in summer, resulting in shorter cycles.<\/p>\n

When a group of women spend a lot of time together, their periods synchronize.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This sounds super romantic, but it’s not true. According to studies, simply being around other women doesn’t mean your periods will synchronize.<\/p>\n

If I go in the water, my period will automatically stop.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Personally, I wouldn’t risk it. When you go in the water or take a bath, the flow of menstrual blood stops due to the temperature difference. However, some people believe that gravity stops the flow and makes it harder for the menstrual flow to be expelled.<\/p>\n

If my periods are irregular, it might be difficult for me to get pregnant.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Currently, no direct relationship has been discovered between fertility and the regularity of menstrual cycles. But if you have any concerns, you can consult your doctor.<\/p>\n

If I take birth control pills, I don’t have a “real” period.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This is partially true. Birth control pills are designed to prevent ovulation and, therefore, fertilization. However, during the break from these pills, hormone levels fluctuate, similar to what happens before menstruation. It is when these hormones decrease that menstruation occurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
