RED CELL REGENERATION DURING THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

RED CELL REGENERATION DURING THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE Abstract In the human female the process of menstruation is accompanied by a train of phenomena of which the uterine changes are only a part. Thus, pain and nervous and congestive reactions may at times become very pronounced. These various activities of the organism usually increase in intensity a few days before the menstrual flow begins, to diminish again toward the close of the period. A second lesser maximum may occur a few days after the flow has ceased. Naturally, much attention has been centered on the changes in the peripheral blood and blood-forming organs during menstruation, but the reports have been somewhat confusing. The quantity of blood lost during a normal period is also a subject of considerable discussion.

Abstract

Abstract In the human female the process of menstruation is accompanied by a train of phenomena of which the uterine changes are only a part. Thus, pain and nervous and congestive reactions may at times become very pronounced. These various activities of the organism usually increase in intensity a few days before the menstrual flow begins, to diminish again toward the close of the period. A second lesser maximum may occur a few days after the flow has ceased. Naturally, much attention has been centered on the changes in the peripheral blood and blood-forming organs during menstruation, but the reports have been somewhat confusing. The quantity of blood lost during a normal period is also a subject of considerable discussion. Kelly1 stated that the amount is from 60 to 240 cc.; Crossen2 gave it as from 150 to 300 cc., and Howell,3 from 100 to 200 cc., while References 1. Kelly, H. A.: Gynecology , New York, D. Appleton & Company, 1928. p. 118. 2. Crossen, H. S.: Diseases of Women , St. Louis, C. V. Mosby Company. 1930, p. 829. 3. Howell, W. H.: A Text Book of Physiology , Philadelphia, W. B.
