Understanding Periods and Hormones | A Guide for Teens

UTERUS – OUR FIRST HOME 🏠

WHY DO WE GET PERIODS?

This is dedicated to all moms with inquisitive teenage girls 👧 …

If they ever ask you about what’s going on inside, Do let them read this and please tell them that God‘s creation is so divine..

Normally our uterus and ovaries are in perfect sync,

As the egg starts growing in the ovary, the lining inside the uterus also grows accordingly. (It is building the nest anticipating the baby’s arrival.)

OUR HORMONES RUN THE SHOW..

They are the MAIN PLAYERS..

So If you need to win this game, your hormones have to be in perfect balance..

The main players🤾‍♀️ here are ESTROGEN and PROGESTERONE ..

Estrogen is the tonic for our egg to grow..

Uterus needs its boost, that is – “Progesterone” to build a cozy home and feed the baby…

Once the egg🥚 is released-

Our motherly uterus makes all arrangements to home and feed a baby👶… That’s how amazing and motherly our uterus is. It builds a warm and soft and cozy home 🏠 with kitchen ready for the baby.

If the egg doesn’t meet its mate (sperm) – Our body knows – the baby hasn’t formed & sends a signal for all the hormones (players) to shut down.. So the hormones sustaining this cozy Home 🏠 drop down.

GAME OVER..

So eventually Uterus sheds off its cozy home ( the lining of the uterus) out as periods, 🩸only to build a brand-new home for the next egg cycle.

That’s what we see on the outside..

But

There are so many things going inside which no one sees except her

Welcome to The most underrated topic…

Pre-menstrual Syndrome

This is due to the hormone shut down that happens prior to periods..

It manifests as depression, crying without reason, high irritability, sleeplessness, lack of energy etc..

Once she gets her periods- She has to suffer that nasty pain as well..

Thanks to our PROSTAGLANDINS.🙏

These are the chemicals that squeeze our uterus and clean it off.

Also they are the ones responsible for that nasty pain as well.

Let’s try to see her and hear her for she is the one who has to sustain mankind

Let your girls know this and let them own their cycle❤️❤️❤️❤️
