Talking about girls' rules is taboo, embarrassing...So, to find out more about stereotypes and grow less foolish (e) here are some counter-truths.
Popular and religious beliefs
On the planet, popular and religious beliefs convey legends on the female body, and the rules: they make the woman impure, turn the wine in vinegar, mayonnaise does not take during the period of rules and dry the crops.
These misconceptions make women guilty, shameful, frightened or even excluded from certain activities.
Having his rules or speaking freely, is neither a shame nor dangerous! Nor is it a contagious disease. They are the sign that our body is fertile and healthy!
So girls leave stereotypes in their place: in the closet!
It makes a bad mood
First of all, let's make it clear! Before the rules come, symptoms that are called premenstrual symptoms can manifest: painful breast, headache, fatty hair...buttons and emotions can go to a boil like tear crises, non-existent hypersensitivity before, sudden and irresistible desires and mood swings. Hence the phrases and reactions: “Do you have your rules or what? "!
Even in its not necessarily pleasant moments, we can continue to live and do our activities normally like doing sports, seeing its friends, and everything without excess.
It hurts
First, suffering is not normal! If this becomes unbearable from the point of view of no longer being in a position to go to school, one must ask for a doctor’s opinion.
He can verify that there is no endometriosis, rules-related illness or anything else.
Rules in some cases may go unnoticed. The first ones are often painful as one is naturally concerned and the body discovers these new sensations. The time that everything is ordered and puts itself in place. So, no worries.
It's dirty and it smells bad
Well, it is true that if a girl keeps a hygienic towel too long or when she extracts the tampon from her vagina, the blood is oxidized in contact with the air and a slight odor does not appear. Hygiene around the rules is very important, you have to take care of its privacy.
On the other hand, if a smell is really too strong for several days, whether it is in your white losses or rules, you must consult a doctor quickly. This may hide the sign of an infection that must be treated quickly and not have a bad surprise.
