To balance this loss, new blood should be created. MIL: Yes. But before that next month comes!! Dr: For body to create blood, body needs iron nutrition. Main thing in blood is Hemoglobin. To create Hemoglobin, iron is very important. If there is lack in iron, we will face blood deficiency, If we have blood deficiency, we will have tiredness and everything. Shanti: I can understand Dr. What all food contains iron deficiency? Dr: Mutton, chicken, lentils, green leafy vegetables, badam, Sugar, all these has iron contents.

MIL: During the time of period, the blood which is getting discharged is unclean, so she is not supposed to touch any vessels. P1: Everyone are saying we should stay away. Dr: Come on!! Everyday for both men and women wastes goes out of body in the form of urine and stool. Even that is unclean right?? if it comes in the form of blood its unclean so we should stay away from them. If it comes in the form of human waste that ok. What is this!! hahhaha. Shanthi: correct doctor. But on what basis are you saying that periods blood is not unclean? Dr: Good, I will give details answer for this question. Every girl will have ovaries in her body which consists of small eggs which helps to give birth to child. This has been joined with fallopian tube to their uterus. As the girls grow even these parts will also grow. Once these gets matured, every month an egg comes out and through fallopian tube it enters uterus. To save these eggs, this forms blood linings. MIL: What is lining Dr.? Dr: Honey bees forms a groups. In the same way it is also same. This is called as uterine lining. Uterus forms this. In science it is called as endometrium. P1: What is the relationship between and this and monthly periods? Dr: Thats what I am saying. Monthly egg gets formed and from that day to till 14 days uterus forms this endometrium. If the egg meets with sperm successfully, pregnancy takes place. If not this will come out in the form of blood for 3 to 7 days. This is called as periods, menstruation. So this is not unclean blood.

Mother: No not yet. Nandini: Why do you look sad? Mother: Your dad is already earning well. We have Own house and good savings. Then why do you want to go to work? Nandini: A girl should go to work only if there is poverty at home, thats the wrong concept. Just like i have to eat to feed my stomach, I should go to the work according to my education and skills. Mother: Thats what I am asking why? Nandini: No trees will think let the next tree save water for myself. Just do one thing, Plant a tree and water it for 1 month without fail. If you fail to water it for 4-5 day it will dry out. Mother: Yes. Nandini: Because it didnt spread its root deep inside the earth thinking we will water it. We are human beings with 6 senses.
