This paper examines menstruation as a systemic experience influenced by evolutionary, cultural, and societal factors rather than solely a biological process. It argues that the way individuals perceive and manage their menstrual cycles can impact physiological outcomes, including potential pathologies like blood flow disturbances or endometriosis. The author highlights the tension between natural acceptance of menstruation and artificial suppression of bleeding, noting that the long-term health consequences of such regulation remain unclear. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Experiencing and the significance of menstruation could possibly be a decisive factor in your physiology or pathologic physiology, in accordance with blood flow disturbance or endometriosis. Menstruation is a systemic, characteristic experience. Evolution, family, culture, community, media, health service and even the economy have an influence on the "period system". Damage and use, sense and the nonsensical of regular bleeding stand to the test. The cycle comes under increasing "pressure" and is no longer in "rhythm". Counter regulation, through regulation of the period seems to prevent the personal, community and health-wise restrictions. The price for this is unknown. Clearly, there is no longer a path between a natural, relaxed acceptance of and an artificial abolition of blood flow. The question of direction is posed in the menarche. This question remains unanswered even in our time.

Die Menstruation ist eine systemisch geprägte Erfahrung. Evolution, Familie, Kultur, Gesellschaft, Medien, Gesundheitswesen, ja sogar die Wirtschaft nehmen auch Einfluss auf das „Periodensystem”. Schaden und Nutzen, Sinn und Unsinn der Regelblutung stehen auf dem Prüfstand. Der Zyklus gerät zunehmend unter „Druck” und ist nicht mehr im „Takt”. Die Gegenregulation durch Regulation der Periode scheint persönliche, gesellschaftliche und gesundheitliche Einschränkungen zu verhindern. Der Preis dafür ist ungeklärt. Offenbar gibt es keinen Weg mehr zwischen natürlicher, entspannter Annahme und künstlicher Abschaffung der Blutung. Die Wegweiser werden in der Menarche gestellt. Die Frage des richtigen Weges ist auch in unserer Zeit noch unbeantwortet.
