Each month, the majority of women will experience their periods. Menstruation is a natural phenomenon that occurs in women of childbearing age. It marks the onset 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 known as periods, is primarily the expulsion of the endometrium in the form of bleeding. This bleeding occurs cyclically and lasts an average of 3 to 5 days. A complete cycle lasts 28 days and prepares the woman's body for fertilization through the action of LH and FSH. It includes the continuation of oogenesis, ovulation, and the preparation of the endometrium for nidation, the moment when the embryo implants in the uterine lining, which will thicken. But when fertilization does not occur, the body expels these excesses, which are periods. The volume of menstrual fluid is between 50 and 80 milliliters of blood, but varies depending on the person and the cycle. This cycle continues until menopause, when the woman has few or no more oocytes, or in the event of fertilization which will induce pregnancy and stop menstruation.
Menstruation is therefore a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in most healthy women. However, this phenomenon is not without consequences for the human body. The latter will have several responses that can be more or less bothersome.
Several symptoms are experienced during periods. They can be pathological, but generally are only the result of the normal activity of periods.
Symptoms vary from one woman to another but some are more common than others:
- Muscle pain, abdominal cramps. They are generally due to an increase in uterine contractility and arteriolar spasms.
- Headaches, stomachaches, notably 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 cause water retention.
- Hot flashes.
- Sore breasts.
Many of these symptoms are of muscular origin. Sufficient water intake can help reduce these inconveniences.
Water is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health and well-being. It helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients and waste, maintain skin health, 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 corresponds to 8-10 glasses of water.
Thus, muscle pain and abdominal cramps can be relieved and prevented with a good intake of mineral salts present in water.
Headaches can be eased in the same way. When the body is dehydrated, exchanges are less efficient, and the brain loses elasticity. This loss is the direct cause of these pains.
Regarding bloating and swelling, as mentioned before, water retention is the cause. Drinking water helps eliminate salt and toxins and limit retention.
Good hydration reduces hot flashes by counteracting the sweat thus created and helping to avoid excessive water loss.
Hydratis specializes in body hydration. By consuming Hydratis tablets, one can prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration. The process is very simple: just put the effervescent tablets in a large glass of water and drink it.
Hydratis contains several active ingredients to meet these needs: first, magnesium, which reduces physical and cerebral fatigue and helps reduce cramps. Potassium allows normal muscle and nerve function; potassium also supports muscles to prevent cramps. It maintains the acid-base balance in the body within the cells and helps maintain their hydration. Sodium chloride, coupled with sugar, accelerates water absorption into the bloodstream. Finally, dextrose synergizes with sodium chloride and enhances its effects.
Together, these trace elements will enhance the benefits of water and improve the patient's well-being.
Hydration is therefore an important part of managing menstruation-related symptoms. And to optimize hydration, it is advisable to combine water consumption with a healthy and balanced diet.
