Abstract:

This learning education aims to provide additional knowledge about fiqh, especially menstruation to adolescents at the Islamic boarding school at Taubah, Garum sub-district, Blitar City. Sometimes for some girls who have just entered the age of aqil baligh, it is difficult to accept the changes that occur in them. This is due to a lack of knowledge and lack of attention from parents in paying attention to their children. The purpose of this education is to increase women's knowledge of fiqh, especially those that discuss menstruation. The researcher provides several main topics of discussion, namely, (1) the understanding of menstruation according to language and terms (2) the time of menstruation, starting from the initial age limit for a woman to be declared menstruating at the age of 9 years, (3) the minimum period of menstruation, generally menstruation and the maximum length of menstruation, (4) things that are prohibited while menstruating, (5 ) obligatory bathing after menstruation and (6) procedures for replacing the prayer after being purified from menstruation.

Abstract:

Abstract Context: Menstruation, although a normal physiologic process, can result in cramping and discomfort in women. The symptomatology may manifest as musculoskeletal changes that can be identified and addressed to provide relief for suffering patients. Objective: To evaluate for common somatic dysfunctions and Chapman’s reflex points by performing full-body osteopathic structural exams (OSE) on women during menstruation compared to when they are not menstruating. Methods: Participants were menstruating, female faculty, staff and students recruited from Kansas City University. Data was gathered in the form of OSE findings from 2 intervals of menstruation and compared to data gathered from 2 intervals of non-menstruation. Each participant was evaluated at 4 visits: visit 1 during menstruation, visit 2 during non-menstruation, visit 3 during their subsequent cycle of menstruation, and visit 4 during their subsequent cycle of non-menstruation. At each visit, the participant was evaluated separately by the fellow and the physician. Results: Of the 32 potential participants, 23 completed the study. In this population, 23 participants (100%) had a lumbar somatic dysfunction during one menstrual cycle, with only 14 (60.9%) having a lumbar dysfunction during non-menstruation (P=0.004). Of the 5 posterior Chapman’s reflex points evaluated, 17 participants (73.9%) had at least 1 of the Chapman’s points with dysfunction during 1 menstruation cycle compared to only 10 participants (43.5%) during non-menstruation (P=0.039). Three participants (13%) were found to have a left-sided innominate dysfunction during 1 menstrual cycle compared to only 1 participant (4%) having a left-sided innominate dysfunction during non-menstruation (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study found 3 common areas of dysfunction in menstruating women that could be targeted by physicians for evaluation and treatment: the lumbar spine, the left innominate, and two posterior Chapman’s points. These findings aid in closing the gap from previously published data regarding the presence of somatic dysfunction in women during menstruation.

Abstract:

We recently discovered the first known menstruating rodent. With the exception of four bats and the elephant shrew, the common spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus) is the only species outside the primate order to exhibit menses. There are few widely accepted theories on why menstruation developed as the preferred reproductive strategy of these select mammals, all of which reference the evolution of spontaneous decidualisation prior to menstrual shedding. Though menstruating species share several reproductive traits, there has been no identifiable feature unique to menstruating species. Such a feature might suggest why spontaneous decidualisation, and thus menstruation, evolved in these species. We propose that a ≥3-fold increase in progesterone during the luteal phase of the reproductive cycle is a unique characteristic linking menstruating species. We discuss spontaneous decidualisation as a consequence of high progesterone, and the potential role of prolactin in screening for defective embryos in these species to aid in minimising implantation of abnormal embryos. We further explore the possible impact of nutrition in selecting species to undergo spontaneous decidualisation and subsequent menstruation. We summarise the current knowledge of menstruation, discuss current pre-clinical models of menstruation and how the spiny mouse may benefit advancing our understanding of this rare biological phenomenon.

Abstract:

Practice difficulties during menstruation and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) are major global concerns. So, this review will explore the issues of cultural and social for menstruation and AUB in Nepal. Nearly one-third of menstruating girls and women were facing abnormal menstruation and uterine bleeding worldwide. All religions have negative views and enforce prohibitions on menstruation and abnormal uterine bleeding except Sikhism. AUB impacts women's living quality, sexuality, social engagement and participation, mental well-being, access to education and employment prospects, experiences of stigma and shame, as well as economic challenges. Menstruation restrictions are a routed problem in some parts, some religions, and castes, and very few menstruating women use disposable sanitary pads in Nepal. Awareness programs, educational intervention programs, and education on menstrual health help to rule out the causes of AUB, and legal implementation of these should be applied to the effort to overcome the issues.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Fibrin D-dimer is the degradation products from cross-linked fibrin. It is a marker of intravascular thrombogenesis. Menstruation is associated with activation of coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. To investigate the changes of plasma fibrin D-dimer level during menstruation cycle, we measure the D-dimer level on day 1, 3, 5, and 21 of the menstruation period for 5 consecutive female volunteers. MDA D-dimer assay is used because it is one of the most sensitive laboratory methods for quantitative measurement of D-dimer level. Methods: Normal female volunteers with normal regular menstruation cycle are recruited. To avoid other confronting factors, subjects with recent history of thromboembolic diseases; ischemic heart disease; pregnancy or child birth; active malignancy; active inflammatory or infectious disease; surgery or trauma; and/or use of birth control pills are excluded. All volunteers have the menstruating period identified. Day 1 of menstruating period is defined as the first day when menstruating flow occurs. On Day 1, 3, 5 and 21 of menstruating cycle, blood samples are collected in tubes precoated with 3.2% trisodium citrate-dihydrate. Specimens are centrifuged at 2500 g for 15 minutes. The MDA D-dimer assay is performed using a commercial kit as per manufacturer’s instructions. Plasma fibrin MDA D-dimer level is expressed in F.E.U./ml (normal range is <0.50 F.E.U./ml). ANOVA statistical analysis for single factor is used to compare the differences among the D-dimer levels on day 1, 3, 5 and 21 of the menstruation cycle. The study has been reviewed and approved by the committee for ethics for research. Results: The results are summarized in table 1 and figure 1. There is no significant variation of D-dimer level measured on day 1, 3, 5, and 21 of menstruation cycle. (p = 0.382) Conclusion: The MDA D-dimer level does not have significant change during the menstruation period. The clotting process during menstruation may mainly be extravascular and, therefore, not affect the D-dimer level. Clinically, D-dimer test can still be used to rule out venous thromboembolism in a menstruating woman.

Abstract:

The concept of menstruation has both theological and mythological meanings, and is usually perceived with negativity. Such construction is partly caused by the transmission of Isra'iliyyat ideas in the Qur'anic exegesis books without any criticism. There[ore it is necessary for Muslims to deconstruct the misogynist mythologies of menstruation (haid), and then re-mrerprez it using the theological perspective as stated in Qur'anic verses dealing with the issues. By applying a thematic-hermeneutical method and historical approach to analyze the concept of menstruation in the Qur'an, this present study concludes that it has more humanistic view to menstruating women than those offered by the Jewish and Christian traditions. Al-Qur'an requires Muslims to be moderate in giving treatment to menstruating women. There are at least three main issues of menstruation addressed in the Qur'an. Firstly, issue concerning with the ways Muslims must treat their women when they menstruate. Secondly, problems related to 'iddah (women's time to wait before entering a new marriage after divorce), and the last is the idea of the obligation for menstruating women to wear jilbab.

Abstract:

The aim in this study was to determine the experiences, behaviors, and attitudes of married Turkish women of fertility age, towards menstruation. Of the 586 women who took part in the study 64.2% described their menarche as an unfavorable experience. A total of 48.8% of them felt they had to keep their menstruation as a secret, and 2.2% believed that menstruating was a punishment given by God. Most did not approve of religious observances such as reciting the Quran, performing the namaz, and fasting when menstruating. Women over thirty who had less education were more likely to think that these activities were unfavorable. Sexual intercourse during menstruation was viewed as unfavorable by 80.9% of the women and 80.4% said that they did not have intercourse then. The state of menarche was found to limit women's lives in both public and individual spheres. It is suggested that menstruation should be evaluated not only within the scope of women's health, but also as a social issue and accessibility to information on menstruation should be improved.

Abstract:

Abstract Here we have summarized what is currently known about menstruating animal species with special emphasis on non-primate species: length of their menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, placentation, decidualization, and endometrial characteristics. Having an overview of all the possible animal models that can be used to study menstruation and the menstrual cycle could be useful to select the one that better matches the needs of the individual research projects. The most promising species to study menstruation seems to be the spiny mouse Acomys cahirinus. It is a rodent that could be easily held in the existing laboratory facilities for rats and mice but with the great advantage of having spontaneous menstruation and several human-like menstrual cycle characteristics. Among the species of menstruating bats, the black mastiff bat Molossus ater and wild fulvous fruit bat Rousettus leschenaultii are the ones presenting the most human-like characteristics. The elephant shrew seems to be the less suitable species among the ones analyzed. The induced mouse model of menstruation is also presented as an adaptable alternative to study menstruation.

Abstract:

This study aims to discuss the hadith about menstruation. This research method is a qualitative type through literature study with content analysis. The research discussion includes general views about menstruation, hadith about menstruation, and the effect of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy on the menstrual cycle. This study concludes that menstruation is a natural cycle as a stipulation that has been established for women based on the explanation of the Prophet's hadith, thereby dismissing various discriminatory myths against menstruating women. Indeed, the menstrual cycle is messed up with the use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, but the medical world explains that blood that comes out of the end of a woman's uterus due to the use of contraception that exceeds its period is still categorized as menstruation.

Abstract:

Personal hygiene during menstruation is an action to maintain health and hygiene in female genital areas during menstruation. Based on data compiled from the Central Statistics Agency and the National Development Planning Agency in 2010, 63 million female adolescents in Indonesia paid less attention to the hygiene of their reproductive organs when menstruating. Furthermore, infectious disease incidence that occurred in adolescents’ reproductive tract (10-18 years) was about 42%. This research purposed to describe personal hygiene behavior during menstruation in female students of class VIII SMPN 13 Kupang. The research was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The number of samples was 63 female students of class VIII SMPN 13 Kupang taken by the simple random sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge (85,71%) and a positive attitude (80,95%) towards personal hygiene behavior during menstruation. However, most respondents had poor personal hygiene during menstruation (53,96%). Schools need to provide more references on adolescent reproductive health, especially personal hygiene during menstruation, for school teenagers. Keywords: menstruation; personal hygiene; behavior

Abstract:

Menstruation en vanlig och normal upplevelse för kvinnor som kommit att innebära stort problem. Tidigare forskning har visat att mens uppfattats som förorenande, skamligt och att det konstruerats som något normavvikande som borde döljas. Forskningen är till stor del äldre och begränsad, samt att den är av generellt slag och inte inriktad på upplevelser. Denna studie syftar därför att undersöka nutida livmoderbärande kvinnors upplevelser och erfarenheter relaterat till menstruation som fenomen och vilka emotionella reaktioner som utvecklats. Fenomenologisk ansats har använts då fokus är på upplevelser och individens livsvärld, som vi fått del av genom att utföra semistrukturerade intervjuer. Med hjälp av Goffmans teori om stigma och Hochschilds om känslor har vi analyserat tio transkriberade material. Resultaten har visat hur det görs en skillnad på hur de kände när de var unga, jämfört med hur de känner nu. De upplever ofta en öppenhet även om det påvisas att de helst pratar med de som står dem närmast. Menstruation har kopplats till att bli och vara en kvinna, då mens är en passage till vuxenhet. Kvinnlighet är också knutet till olika föreställningar, då individerna tar till sig av hantering för att dölja sin mens och för att inte upplevas som ofräscha. Mens rekonstruerar individernas vardag och innebär ekonomiska utlägg. Smärta är ett stort problem och de upplevs ibland inte tas på allvar. Det upplevs samtidigt vara en del av att vara kvinna och en naturlig del av kroppen, som påminner att allt fungerar.

Abstract:

In many societies there is a stigma surrounding menstruation. It is often perpetuated through representations in advertisements as well as lack of open discussions. This thesis investigates ways that people are presenting menstruation on the social media platform Instagram and concludes that this is a space which allows the normative menstruation discourse to be challenged. Instagram is a widely used app that allows users to interact with others through sharing photos and has the potential to be a space for empowerment and challenging dominant ideologies. Publicly accessible photos were collected from the app using hashtags related to menstruation and menstrual activism, as well as menstrual activist accounts and menstrual product accounts. The results of a qualitative content analysis reveal numerous themes which challenge or reinforce the stigmas: Empowerment, Solidarity, Resistance, Normalizing Periods, Women’s Health, Standard/Normative, Eco-Friendly and Marketing.

Abstract:

While much research has been done to broaden the understanding of the menstrual cycle, there appears to be no study that has focused upon the professional's attitudes and knowledge regarding menstruation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to study the attitudes toward and the knowledge of menstruation held by those of the psychological and medical professions. Sex differences in these areas were also explored.The subjects were practicing psychologists and counselors (50), graduate-level counseling psychology practicum students (33), medical interns and residents (25), and undergraduate students (85). A 4 x 2 multivariate design was utilized with groupings by population and sex. Dependent variables were scores on The Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire and The Menstrual Knowledge Test. The main effects were tested in a multivariate sense. Univariate statistics were used to interpret significant simple effects. All findings were interpreted at alpha level p<.05.Three of the four null hypotheses were rejected. Analysis of the data revealed significant differences among all groups in menstrual attitudes (p<.000). The male and female attitudinal responses were significantly different in all but the practicing psychologists and counselors group (p<.000). The undergraduate student group displayed significantly less knowledge regarding menstruation than the other groups (p<.000). There were no significant differences in the knowledge levels between sexes (p<.386).For the most part, the undergraduate group held more extreme attitudes toward and less knowledge regarding menstruation than the other groups. This suggested that a combination of life experience and additional education promotes an adjustment toward more positive attitudes and an increase in knowledge regarding menstruation. Of particular importance was the indication that the medical profession may be more negatively biased toward women who experience difficulty during menstruation than the psychological profession. However, the belief that women should deny the negative aspects of menstruation and act as if the difficulties experienced are not bothersome, existed to sane degree in all groups.It was recommended that training programs in psychology and medicine include intensive education regarding the influence of menstruation upon women and that a more comprehensive assessment tool be developed to measure knowledge about menstruation and treatment for menstrual related problems.

Menstruation som hälsa var ett bevis på en fungerande och fertil kropp samt ett attribut till kvinnlighet. Menstruation som ohälsa präglades av negativa erfarenheter. Detta var ofta baserat på okunskap kring den kvinnliga kroppen samt upplevelsen av menstruation som skamfull. Kopplat till menstruation har sjuksköterskan en viktig roll i att ge stöd och utbildning. Då forskning gällande kvinnors upplevelser av menstruation i Sverige är begränsad, behövs vidare forskning inom ämnet i denna del av världen.
Women all over the world menstruate and nurses meet menstruating women in their daily work. The purpose of this literature study was to describe womens' experiences of menstruation. The design of this study was a general literature study based on womens' stories about menstruation. By analyzing data, different key words were identified to create two main themes, The Menstrual Health and The Menstrual Illness. Of these two main themes, six different subthemes could be formulated: Femininity, Cohabitation, Acceptance, Physical discomfort, The condemned female body and Feeling dirty. Menstruation was a proof of health and evidence of a functioning and fertile body and as an attribute to femininity. Menstruation like ill health was characterized by negative experiences. This was often based on ignorance of the female body as well as the perception of menstruation as shameful. Linked to menstruation, nurses have an important role in providing support and education. As research on womens' experiences of menstruation in Sweden is limited, therefore further research is required regarding the subject in this part of the world.

Abstract:

Although menstruation is a biological process that occurs for women of a sexually mature age, many cultures associate it with symbols that shape and affect women's lives within these societies. This thesis examines orthodox Hindu beliefs about the origin and meaning of menstruation, which is fundamentally viewed negatively (i.e., adharmically). Drawing upon sources from the earliest to more recent Dharmasastra literature, the thesis demonstrates that orthodox Hindu menstrual taboos derive from menstruation's adharmic associations, which in turn affect attitudes towards women. The Dharmasastras also attempt to realign women with dharma by prescribing appropriate roles for them and act in tandem with the Hindu goddess tradition. Orthodox interpretations of Hindu goddesses configure these deities to serve as dharmic models "for" and " o f women, thereby transmitting dharma to women in ways that are perhaps more meaningful, accessible, and effective than the sastric literature alone. iv

Abstract:

Abstract Guilló-Arakistain examines the ways in which alternative politics of menstruation are challenging the paradigm of sexual dimorphism and heteronormativity. She does this through consideration of discourses which challenge the ideology of menstrual normativity and the rigid, hegemonic, medical, and pathological approaches to the western biomedical vision of menstruation. Guilló-Arakistain links these discourses to specific bodies, incorporating experiences of non-menstruating cisgender women as well as transgender menstruators. It is necessary, she asserts, to dispense with the idea that menstruation is determinative of a very specific gender and social identity and the subsequent normative and reductionist take on menstrual experience (and more generally human experience).

Abstract:

The project Imaginando Reglas is part of the Laboratorio Ciudadano Rompiendo Reglas LAB Menstruacción digna y Ecosaludable promoted by the Gender Equality Group of the Faculty of Education Sciences of the University of A Coruña. The project aims to implement a participatory and collaborative research methodology on menstruation. The objective is to rethink and reconceptualise menstruation, questioning our normalised concept of menstruation, based on a critical view of the methods used to control it. The methodology used consisted in a participatory and collaborative dynamic put into practice in two sessions. Based on the concept of "sociological imagination” (C. Wright Mills), we applied critical thinking by becoming aware of the relationship of the individual with society, with the present and with the past. Based on a serie of questions, the methods used to control menstruation were described, followed by a local, global and historical analysis of the results, which were then shared with the group.

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: How effective is acupuncture in treating melasma compared to conventional treatment？ Condition being studied: Melasma is a common acquired hyperpigmentation of the skin. The clinical manifestations are light brown or dark brown patches symmetrically distributed on the cheeks, forehead and mandibular with different shades and unclear borders. Melasma particularly affects women during menstruation, especially in thirties and forties Asian women. The incidence of Asian women of childbearing age is as high as 30%. Current treatments for melasma include topical drugs, chemical peeling agents, laser and light treatments, and systemic drugs. Despite the strong demand for treatment, the treatment of melasma is still very challenging, the results are inconsistent, and the recurrence rate is almost constant.
