Each month, the majority of women will have their period . Menstruation is a natural phenomenon that occurs in women of reproductive age. It marks the beginning of puberty and can last until menopause .
Menstruation is an indicator of female reproductive function and can influence a woman's daily life in various ways. Menstruation, commonly called a period, is the shedding of the endometrium, primarily in the form of bleeding. This bleeding occurs cyclically and lasts between 3 and 5 days on average. A complete cycle lasts 28 days and prepares the woman's body for fertilization thanks to the action of LH and FSH. It includes the continuation of oogenesis, ovulation, and the preparation of the endometrium for implantation, the moment when the embryo implants in the uterine lining, causing it to thicken. But when fertilization does not occur, the body expels this excess blood; this is menstruation. The volume of menstrual blood is between 50 and 80 milliliters , but varies from person to person and from cycle to cycle. This cycle continues until menopause, when a woman has few or no more oocytes, or in the event of fertilization which will induce pregnancy and stop menstruation.
Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in most healthy women. However, this phenomenon is not without consequences for the human body. The body will have several responses, some more disruptive than others .
Several symptoms are experienced during menstruation . They can be pathological, but are generally just the result of normal menstrual activity .
Symptoms vary from woman to woman, but some are more common than others:
- Muscle pain, abdominal cramps . These are generally caused by increased uterine contractility and arteriolar spasms.
- Headaches, stomach aches, particularly due to dehydration and hormonal fluctuations.
- Acne. Also, hormonal fluctuations that overstimulate the sebaceous glands, increasing sebum secretion.
- Bad mood.
- Bloating, swelling. Here too, hormones can create water retention.
- Hot flashes.
- Painful breasts.
Many of these symptoms are muscular in origin. Sufficient water intake can help reduce these discomforts .
Water is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health and well-being. It helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients and waste products , maintain healthy skin, and improve cognitive and physical performance. The WHO recommends a daily intake of 2 liters of drinking water for an adult to meet their needs, which is equivalent to 8-10 glasses of water .
Thus, muscle pain and abdominal cramps can be relieved and prevented through a good intake of mineral salts, present in water .
Headaches can be relieved in the same way. When the body is dehydrated, its exchange processes are impaired and the brain loses elasticity . This loss is the direct cause of these pains.
Regarding bloating and swelling, as mentioned previously, water retention is the cause. Drinking water helps eliminate salt and toxins and reduces retention.
Proper hydration reduces hot flashes by counteracting the resulting perspiration and helps prevent excessive water loss .
Hydratis specializes in body hydration . By consuming Hydratis tablets, you can prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration . The process is very simple: just drop the effervescent tablets into a large glass of water and drink it.
Hydratis contains several active ingredients to meet these needs: first, magnesium, which reduces physical and mental fatigue and helps alleviate cramps. Potassium, which supports normal muscle and nerve function, also helps prevent cramps. It maintains the acid-base balance within the body's cells and helps retain hydration. Sodium chloride, combined with sugar, accelerates water absorption into the bloodstream. Finally, dextrose works synergistically with sodium chloride to enhance its effects.
Together, these trace elements will enhance the benefits of the water and improve the patient's well-being.
Hydration is therefore an important part of managing menstrual symptoms. To optimize hydration, it is advisable to combine water consumption with a healthy and balanced diet.
