The strangest questions about activity in critical days. And answers to them

What happens to periods in space?

In general, it is not such silly question. They say, it is one of often set during the conversations with female astronauts. "What happens to periods in space?" - not only women, but also scientists who trained women for flights in space thought of it.

It appears, at one time was considered that the periods can affect mental capacities of the woman and level of concentration that can even lead to accidents onboard spaceships! Other popular delusion is even more interesting: in the conditions of zero gravity the woman can have "retrograde periods". This phenomenon is familiar to those who have endometriosis. Allegedly in space blood and fragments of endometrium begin to move in the opposite direction, sometimes getting to pipe fallopiyeva.

But NASA conducted scientific research in this respect, they lasted for 40 years and any of doubts was not confirmed. In space to a female body there is nothing unusual, and critical days at women astronauts proceed the same as at the ordinary woman. Generally, everyone of the lady can quietly plow Universe open spaces, even these days.


It is impossible to stand on the head and if to try – that where will get to blood?

And again these retrograde periods. Active girls are frightened that blood allocations will begin to migrate not only up to a uterus, but "will even "lodge" in an abdominal cavity if they stand on the head and in general to do various turned poses.

This caution almost always repeats in articles where it is about fitness during critical days. Whether so it?

If interests you where menstrual blood when you stand on the head flows, then it is worth learning about process of periods at least in general. The matter is that blood and pieces of endometrium not just flow from a uterus under gravity. All this is removed and is literally pushed out due to muscular contractions. Blood will not begin to flow back, it is the myth.


Why it is impossible to do mayonnaise during critical days?

Welcome to one of the most ridiculous and dense delusions about activity in critical days! Roots of similar representations somewhere it is very much far, probably, in primitive times. And, fortunately, a lot of things are already disproved by science. But this opinion does not leave in any way. Continually it is possible to meet girls who by a mysterious voice reveal a terrible secret to the girlfriend: "And you know why at you sauce did not turn out?".

By the way, the majority of myths and false ideas of activity during periods were discredited not so long ago. Practically till the 19th century critical days did not connect with biological function of an organism in any way. They were perceived as weakness, a disease, an indisposition, and sometimes and as a damnation. For this reason was considered that everything what the woman who has monthly bleedings will touch, will be spoiled or will change the taste (speak, will become sour).

Still in some countries these misunderstanding proceed. The most conservative in this regard consider India, Kenya, Japan. In these countries and now society continues "to drive a snowstorm" to extend all delusions about monthly. In Japan, for example, women should not do sushi in critical days.

Most likely, the question about mayonnaise has the same roots. Strange, however, that this delusion remained only in relation to sauces. But even it is not confirmed by scientists. So – prepare for yourself, the friends, the family – in any days and for soul, but not on a calendar card.


And, however, that monthly attract bears?

Inveterate pokhodnitsa perfectly know this myth. More half a century this delusion are repeated by naive tourists who are equipped in campaigns to places where wild bears are found.

And it was born so. In 1967 in America very sad incident occurred. In Glacier National Park (Glacier, the USA) two women were attacked and killed with grizzly bears. Investigation showed that unfortunate women at the time of the tragedy had critical days.

Society at once inflated wild speculation from this detail: monthly attract bears. Do you represent how after that to live in places where bears quite often leave to people? Surely there will be "educated" uncles who will accuse poor women of everything.

The delusion also, however, was so strong that scientists had to disprove it. In 1991 experiment was made. In the forest where brown bears lived, the used hygienic means from 26 different women were placed 26. Any of predators did not concern these things, did not interest. The risk of attack of a bear from monthly does not increase. It is important to follow precautionary measures and rules of conduct in the forest.
