Have you ever miss your periods? Is it normal?

Har mahine woh din aate hain jab hum ladkiyan apne aap se poochte hain - "Yeh sab kyun hota hai?" Periods, cramps, mood swings, aur na jaane kya kya. Lekin sachai yeh hai ki periods bilkul normal hain, aur iske saath jo bhi hota hai - dard, emotional changes, sab normal hai. Chaliye is article mein hum periods ke baare mein sab kuch detail se samajhte hain.

Periods Hote Kya Hain?

Periods ya menstruation ek natural process hai jo har mahine ladkiyon aur aurton ke sharir mein hoti hai. Jab ladki 10-15 saal ki hoti hai, tab periods shuru hote hain. Yeh 45-55 saal ki umar tak chalta hai.

Har mahine humara sharir pregnancy ke liye taiyaari karta hai. Uterus (bachedani) mein ek special lining banti hai jo bahut soft aur blood se bhari hoti hai. Agar pregnancy nahi hoti, toh yeh lining bahar aa jaati hai - aur yahi periods hai. Yeh ek healthy sign hai ki aapka reproductive system sahi se kaam kar raha hai.

Ek normal period cycle 21 se 35 din ka hota hai. Zyada tar ladkiyon mein yeh 28 din ka hota hai. Bleeding 2 se 7 din tak chal sakti hai. Har kisi ka experience alag hota hai, aur yeh bilkul normal hai.

Periods Ka Dard - Cramps Kyun Hote Hain?

Period cramps ya menstrual pain ko medically "dysmenorrhea" kehte hain. Yeh sabse common problem hai jo lagbhag 80% ladkiyon ko hoti hai.

Cramps kyun hote hain?

Jab periods aate hain, toh uterus apni lining ko bahar nikalne ke liye contract (sikudta) hota hai. Yeh contractions muscles ko tight kar dete hain. Sharir mein "prostaglandins" naam ke chemicals bante hain jo in contractions ko trigger karte hain. Jitne zyada prostaglandins, utna zyada dard.

Dard pet ke neeche, kamar mein, aur sometimes taangon mein bhi ho sakta hai. Kuch ladkiyon ko halka dard hota hai, kuch ko bahut zyada. Dono hi situations normal hain.

Dard se relief ke liye:

• Garam pani ki bottle pet par rakhein
• Halki exercise ya walking karein
• Yoga poses jaise child's pose aur cat-cow stretch help karte hain
• Paracetamol ya ibuprofen le sakte hain (doctor se pooch kar)
• Achhi neend lein
• Caffeine aur junk food kam karein
• Haldi wala doodh peein - yeh natural pain reliever hai

Agar dard bahut zyada hai aur normal life affect ho rahi hai, toh doctor se zaroor milein. Kabhi kabhi yeh PCOS ya endometriosis jaise conditions ke wajah se bhi ho sakta hai.

Mood Swings - Emotional Rollercoaster

"Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha, main kyun ro rahi hoon?" Agar aapne kabhi periods se pehle yeh socha hai, toh aap akeli nahi hain. Mood swings periods ka ek bilkul normal part hain.

Kyun hote hain mood swings?

Hamare sharir mein hormones hote hain - estrogen aur progesterone. Periods se pehle aur during periods, yeh hormones bahut rapidly change hote hain. Yeh changes directly hamari feelings aur emotions ko affect karte hain.

Periods se 1-2 hafte pehle PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) hota hai. Ismein hota hai:

• Achanak gussa aana
• Bina wajah rona
• Chidchidapan
• Anxiety ya ghabrahaat
• Sad feel hona
• Energy kam lagna
• Concentration mein problem

PMS kaise manage karein:

• Apne emotions ko accept karein - yeh normal hain
• Family aur friends ko batayein ki aap PMS mein hain
