Greetings dear women of Ladies of Hive!馃 is a great pleasure to be one more week in this beautiful community and to be able to share another bit of my experience, this time in questions related very directly to each of us.
This time our friend 
Women have multiple phases in our lives in which we go through a hormonal imbalance, such as monthly menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.
Not only our physical health is affected, share with us, how you take care of yourself in these sensitive moments and take care of your physical and mental health?
My menstrual period began at the age of 10, just one month shy of 11, I remember it very well because it came with a lot of pain, I did not understand what was happening to me until I went to the bathroom and saw my underwear stained with blood.
That day the first thing that came to my mind was to take a bath so my mom wouldn't find out what was happening to me (to this day I don't know why I didn't want them to know at home) but it turns out that the same day they found out because my older sister was so curious that without asking permission she went into the bathroom and saw my pantyhose stained, you can't imagine how embarrassed I was!
Well, the years went by and throughout my adolescence and youth my period came with pain and not only that, I have a serious problem with allergies to some foods, medicines, strong odors, dust, and when I am in premenstrual period, these allergies intensify, so I have to take care of myself twice as much.
Already in my 30's the pain and mood swings were getting worse, the painkillers hardly did anything for me and my mood changed so drastically, I was happy and then suddenly sad and discouraged, I did not understand what was happening to me, I did not want to feel that way, it was something so strange that I wanted to get rid of my body.
At that time I got married and my husband has had to suffer with me, my pains and sometimes he has even been a victim of my mood swings, I thank God that he has understood my situation and has been a great support for me.
I know it is not an illness but at that moment it is as if it were, I am left without strength, I do not have the capacity to make good decisions, I see problems twice as much as they really are, so I have decided not to make important decisions when I am in my menstruation days.
Visits to the Doctors.
The times that I have gone for check-ups I have always told the doctors what is wrong with me and how much I suffer with my periods, and I also told them why I don't get pregnant, but all of them when they did the analyses and tests concluded that I was fine, that everything was perfect and that my body unfortunately works in such a way that most likely it will be removed when I go through menopause.
I remember that one of them suggested giving me an injection so that my period would not come for six months, but in the end he, my husband and I concluded that if that is something natural it is better to continue like that, and look for a treatment to have a better quality of life.
What I do now to feel better.
At this moment I am already 46 years old and I have matured in many things, I know my body better and I have been learning how to live in the best possible way, although always dealing with the symptoms.
Prayer has helped me a lot because as a believing woman I talk a lot with God and I faithfully believe that He has guided me.
I also try to eat as healthy as possible, less red meat, less fats and carbohydrates and lots of vegetables and fruits, I try not to eat canned food and dairy products in small quantities, when I am disciplined in this diet I realize that my pain decreases because I see the difference.
A good complement and that I find more difficult to do are the exercise routines, I have realized that working the abdominals and doing cardiovascular exercises, everything that keeps us active and our body in motion is of great help to relieve the annoying pain, and by having less pain, we will also have better mood.
Oh, and I can't forget about natural teas, as they are of incalculable help.
I am waiting to be a mother.
As far as motherhood is concerned, sadly I cannot talk about my experience because I simply have not experienced it, I would have loved to be a mother, but it was not given to me, and I already suffered for it, now I just want to live life in the best way possible, taking care of myself and doing what is in my hands to make my days better.
We will always find alternatives to lead the healthiest life possible and as we get to know ourselves, we can have more tools to live a fuller life, regardless of the stage we are in.
And I conclude with this, the truth if I had in my hands to disappear menstruation to not suffer more because of it I would do it, I think that throughout my life has taken away many forces, but as I do not have that power, I have chosen to seek solutions to live more fully.
At this stage of my life that I proudly wear my age, I prepare myself mentally and physically for menopause, I hope that the years to come will be better in terms of this in particular.
Take care of yourself ladies our health is very important 馃挄

Saludos queridas mujeres de Ladies of Hive!馃 es un gran placer estar una semana m谩s en esta hermosa comunidad y poder compartir otro poco de mi experiencia, esta vez en preguntas relacionadas muy directamente con cada una de nosotras.
En esta ocasi贸n nuestra amiga
Las Mujeres tenemos m煤ltiples fases en nuestra vida en las que pasamos por un desequilibrio hormonal, como la menstruaci贸n mensual, el embarazo, la menopausia.
No solo nuestra salud f铆sica se ve afectada, comparte con nosotras, como te cuidas en estos momentos tan sensibles y cuidas tu salud f铆sica y mental?
Mi periodo menstrual comenz贸 a la edad de 10 a帽os, faltando solo un mes para cumplir los 11, lo recuerdo muy bien porque llego acompa帽ado de muchos dolores, no entend铆a lo que me estaba pasando hasta que fui al ba帽o y vi m铆 prenda 铆ntima manchada de sangre.
Ese d铆a lo primero que vino a mi mente fue ba帽arme y que mi mam谩 no se enterara de lo que me pasaba (Hasta el d铆a de hoy no s茅 porque no quer铆a que en casa lo supieran) pero resulta que el mismo d铆a se enteraron ya que mi hermana mayor era tan curiosa que sin pedir permiso entro al ba帽o y vio mi pantis manchada, no se imaginan la verg眉enza que me dio!
Bueno transcurrieron los a帽os y en toda mi adolescencia y juventud mi periodo ven铆a con dolores y no solo eso, tengo un problema bastante serio con la alergia a algunos alimentos, medicamentos, olores fuertes, polvo, y cuando estoy en periodo premenstrual, esas alergias se me intensifican, as铆 que tengo que cuidarme el doble.
Ya en mis 30 a帽os los dolores y los cambios de humor fueron empeorando, los analg茅sicos casi no me hac铆an nada y cambiaba de humor tan dr谩sticamente, estaba alegra y de repente triste y desanimada, no entend铆a lo que me pasaba, yo no quer铆a sentirme as铆, era algo tan extra帽o que quer铆a como quitarme el cuerpo de encima.
En ese tiempo me case y mi esposo ha tenido que sufrir conmigo, mis dolores y hasta en ocasiones ha sido v铆ctima de mis cambios de humor, gracias doy a Dios que 茅l ha comprendido mi situaci贸n y ha sido un gran apoyo para m铆.
S茅 que no es una enfermedad pero en ese momento es como si lo fuera, quedo sin fuerzas, no tengo la capacidad de tomar buenas decisiones, los problemas los veo el doble de lo que realmente son, as铆 que he decidido no tomar decisiones importantes cuando me encuentre en mis d铆as de menstruaci贸n.
Visita a los M茅dicos.
Las veces que he ido a chequearme siempre les planteo a los m茅dicos lo que me pasa y cuanto sufro con mis periodos, y tambi茅n les planteaba por qu茅 no quedo embarazada, pero todos al hacerme los an谩lisis y pruebas conclu铆an en que estaba bien, que todo estaba perfecto y que mi cuerpo lastimosamente trabaja de esa manera que lo m谩s seguro se me quite cuando me venga la menopausia.
Recuerdo que uno de ellos me planteo ponerme una inyecci贸n para que mi periodo no me viniera por seis meses, pero al final tanto 茅l como mi esposo y yo concluimos en que si eso es algo natural es mejor seguir as铆, y buscar un tratamiento para tener una mejor calidad de vida.
Lo que hago ahora para sentirme mejor.
En este momento tengo ya 46 a帽os y he madurado en muchas cosas, conozco m谩s mi cuerpo y he ido aprendiendo como vivir de la mejor manera posible, aunque siempre lidiando con los s铆ntomas.
Me ha ayudado mucho la oraci贸n pues como mujer creyente hablo mucho con Dios y creo fielmente que 脡l me ha guiado.
Adem谩s trato de tener una alimentaci贸n lo m谩s saludable posible, menos carnes rojas, menos grasas y carbohidratos y muchos vegetales y frutas, trato de no comer enlatados y los l谩cteos en pocas cantidades, cuando soy disciplinada en esta dieta me doy cuenta que mis dolores disminuyen pues veo la diferencia.
Un buen complemento y que me cuesta m谩s hacer son las rutinas de ejercicios, me he dado cuenta que trabajando los abdominales y haciendo ejercicios cardiovasculares , todo lo que nos mantenga activa y nuestro cuerpo en movimiento es de gran ayuda para aliviar los molestos dolores, y al tener menos dolor, tambi茅n tendremos mejor 谩nimo.
Ah y no me puedo olvidar de los t茅s naturales, pues son de una incalculable ayuda.
Me quede en espera de ser madre.
En cuanto a maternidad se refiere tristemente no puedo hablarles de mi experiencia porque sencillamente no lo he experimentado, me hubiera encantado ser madre, pero no se me dio, y ya sufr铆 por ello, ahora solo quiero vivir la vida de la mejor manera posible, cuid谩ndome y haciendo lo que est谩 en mis manos para que mis d铆as sean mejores.
Siempre vamos a encontrar alternativas para llevar una vida lo m谩s saludable posible y a medida que nos vamos conociendo, podemos tener m谩s herramientas para vivir una vida m谩s plena, independientemente de la etapa en la que nos encontremos.
Y concluyo con esto, la verdad si tuviera en mis manos desaparecer la menstruaci贸n para no sufrir m谩s a causa de ella lo har铆a, creo que a lo largo de mi vida me ha quitado muchas fuerzas, pero como no tengo ese poder, he optado por buscar soluciones para vivir m谩s plenamente.
En esta etapa de mi vida que llevo orgullosamente mi edad, me preparo mental y f铆sicamente para la menopausia, espero que los a帽os venideros sean mejores en cuanto a esto en particular.
A cuidarse damas nuestra salud es muy importante.馃挄
