Period : The Real Story of Menstruation
A bold and revolutionary perspective on the science and cultural history of menstruationMenstruation is something half the world does for a week at a time, for months and years on end, yet it remains largely misunderstood.Scientists once thought of an individual’s period as useless, and some doctors still believe it’s unsafe for a menstruating person to swim in the ocean wearing a tampon.Period counters the false theories that have long defined the study of the uterus, exposing the eugenic history of gynecology while providing an intersectional feminist perspective on menstruation science. Blending interviews and personal experience with engaging stories from her own pioneering research, Kate Clancy challenges a host of myths and false assumptions.There is no such a thing as a “normal” menstrual cycle.In fact, menstrual cycles are incredibly variable and highly responsive to environmental and psychological stressors.Clancy takes up a host of timely issues surrounding menstruation, from bodily autonomy, menstrual hygiene, and the COVID-19 vaccine to the ways racism, sexism, and medical betrayal warp public perceptions of menstruation and erase it from public life. Offering a revelatory new perspective on one of the most captivating biological processes in the human body, Period will change the way you think about the past, present, and future of periods.

Does trampolining shorten menstruation?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that trampolining can shorten menstruation. Menstruation is a natural biological process controlled by hormones and the menstrual cycle, and physical activity like trampolining is unlikely to have a significant impact on the length of a menstrual cycle. Factors such as stress, diet, and overall health can affect menstrual cycles, but trampolining alone is not known to shorten menstruation.
-
Do mares have menstruation?
No, mares do not have menstruation like humans do. Mares have an estrous cycle, also known as a heat cycle, which is the reproductive cycle in female horses. During this cycle, mares experience changes in behavior and physical signs of being in heat, but they do not have a monthly shedding of the uterine lining like humans do during menstruation. Instead, mares have a different reproductive process that involves ovulation and the potential for pregnancy.

What causes burning before menstruation?
Burning before menstruation can be caused by a condition called dysmenorrhea, which is characterized by painful menstrual cramps. These cramps can be caused by the release of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that trigger the uterine muscles to contract. The increased levels of prostaglandins can lead to inflammation and pain, resulting in a burning sensation before menstruation. Additionally, other factors such as hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease can also contribute to the burning sensation before menstruation.

Is lovesickness stronger during menstruation?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that lovesickness is stronger during menstruation. Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle can affect emotions, but the intensity of lovesickness is likely to vary from person to person and may not be directly linked to menstruation. It is important to consider individual differences and factors contributing to emotional experiences rather than attributing them solely to menstrual cycles.

The Psychoses of Menstruation and Childbearing
Childbearing, from the standpoint of psychological medicine, is the most complex event in human experience.Of the dozens of disorders that affect the generative process, or are unleashed as complications, many fall under the heading of 'psychoses' - profound disturbances of thought, perception, cognition and behaviour.These psychoses disrupt personal and family life at a critical time.Reviewing the wide range of psychoses that complicate the reproductive process, Ian Brockington proposes radical changes to the concepts of postpartum and menstrual psychoses, with suggestions for fresh research initiatives.Armed with this comprehensive knowledge and wielding a raft of interventions, many women can be restored to health and their vital roles in the family and community.When the risk factors are known, multidisciplinary preventive strategies can transform the lives of vulnerable women.This is essential reading for psychiatrists, obstetricians and gynaecologists, midwives, general practitioners, neuroscientists and related professions worldwide.

Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France
Early modern bodies, particularly menstruating and pregnant bodies, were not stable signifiers.Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France presents the first full-length discussion of menstruation and its uncertain connections with embodied sex, gender and reproduction in early modern France.Attitudes to menstruation are explored in three inter-linked arenas: medicine, moral theology and law across the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.Drawing on a wide range of diverse sources, including court records and private documents, the author uses case studies to explore the relationship between the exceptional corporeality of individuals and attempts to construct menstrual norms, reflecting on how early modern individuals, lay or otherwise, grappled with the enigma of menstruation.She analyzes how early modern men and women accounted for the function, recurrence and appearance of menstruation, from its role in maintaining health to the link between other physiological and bodily processes, including those found in both male and female bodies.She questions the assumption that menstruation was exclusively associated with women by the second half of the eighteenth century, arguing that whilst sex-related, menstruation was not sex-specific even at the turn of the nineteenth.Menstruation remains a contentious topic today. This book is not, therefore, simply a study of periods in early modern France, but is also of necessity an exploration about the nature and constitution of historical evidence, particularly bodily evidence and how historians use this evidence.It raises important questions about the concept of certainty and about the value of observation, testimony, expertise, the nature of language and the construction of bodily truths - about the body as witness and the body as evidence.

Why does menstruation smell unpleasant?
Menstruation can have an unpleasant smell due to the presence of blood, bacteria, and tissue shedding in the vaginal area during this time. The combination of these elements can create a distinct odor that some people find unpleasant. It is important to note that a slight odor during menstruation is normal, but any strong or foul smell could indicate an infection and should be checked by a healthcare provider.

What is a weak menstruation?
A weak menstruation, also known as hypomenorrhea, is a condition characterized by unusually light or scanty menstrual flow. This can manifest as a shorter duration of bleeding, a lighter flow, or both.

It is important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience consistently weak menstruation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
