百科知識視頻之煎蛋小學(xué)堂66 母老虎來了大姨媽

This is Lilly,also known as Superwoman on YouTube.And as a member of the female sex,she experiences her period on a monthly basis.You see,the first time I got my period,I had no idea what was going on.I walked into the washroom,tra la la la la,took down my underwear and I was like "What is this?"Because I never got "thetalk,"so I was so concerned.My mind was racing."Did I fall off my bike earlier today?" because I had no idea what was going on.

這位是 YouTube ii Superwomanii 頻道主Lily.作為女性的一員，她也會來大姨媽。你知道嗎 我第一次來姨媽時，完全不知道發(fā)生了什么。我走到廁所 開開心心地脫下內(nèi)褲，當(dāng)時想 這是什么?沒人“教育”過我 因此我特別擔(dān)心。開始胡思亂想“白天騎車時摔了?”因?yàn)槲覍Υ撕敛涣私狻?/p>

I'm pretty sure most girls go through that denial phase where you hate it,but you can't look away,so I was just like"I'm dying.I'm dying."What you may or may not realize is that every single time a woman has her period,it's because her body was preparing to get pregnant and have a child.You know,the act that prepetuates our entire species?Yes.Every single month the female body goes through an incredibly complex and fascinating transformation called the menstrual cycle.

我敢肯定 大多女孩都經(jīng)歷過否認(rèn)期 你很討厭它，卻又躲不掉 我當(dāng)時想“我要死了 我要死了”你可能不知道 每次女性來姨媽時，都是因?yàn)槠渖眢w正準(zhǔn)備孕育新生兒。就是能讓人類長存的那件事?對 每個月女性都會經(jīng)歷極為復(fù)雜 令人著迷的轉(zhuǎn)變 即“月經(jīng)周期”。

It all starts in the ovaries,which each contain over 100,000 eggs.Once a month,one egg will release,which spends roughly three days making its way to the uterus.And while it's making its way there,the uterus begins to create a lining,which is rich in nutrients and everything essential to begin life.Under the right circumstances,a sperm will fertilize the egg and begin pregnancy in the womb.

這一切要從卵巢開始 每個卵巢含有十萬卵子。每個月 它釋放一個卵子，卵子歷時三天到達(dá)子宮。在卵子行進(jìn)途中 子宮也開始鋪設(shè) “內(nèi)膜”，它富含營養(yǎng)物和一切孕育生命必須的物質(zhì)。在合適條件下 精子會使卵子受精 并在子宮內(nèi)開始受孕。

Before this,however,female ovaries increase production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone and these hormones promote and maintain the special lining of the uterus.But the hormones also enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body including your brain.It's here that estrogen and progesterone are thought to interfere with other chemical messengers in the brain,called neurotransmitters.

而此前，卵巢會增加雌激素和孕酮的分泌量，這些荷爾蒙有助于維持子宮內(nèi)特殊的內(nèi)膜。但荷爾蒙也會流入血液并穿行于身體各部分 包括你的大腦。在這里 雌激素和孕酮被認(rèn)為會影響大腦內(nèi)其他化學(xué)信使 即“神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)”。

And this can lead to the notorious premenstrual syndrome,or PMS in women.More like"period my sucks"...Science.So there's a whole bunch of chemicals in my brain and they're all out of whack,messing with the mind every single month.I mean,science is messing with my conscious.I'm irritable and anxious and I haven't even started my period yet.

這就導(dǎo)致了臭名昭著的“經(jīng)前期綜合征”。還不如說“月神經(jīng)”科學(xué)……也就是說 許多化學(xué)物質(zhì)在我腦內(nèi)亂成一團(tuán)，每月讓我抓狂好一陣。我是說 科學(xué)讓我很迷惑。當(dāng)我脾氣大、特焦慮時月經(jīng)還沒到呢。

Which brings up an important point:PMS is not the same thing as your period,which is perhaps one of the biggest myths out there.It actually happens 7-14 days before a girl even shows signs of bleeding.This is because estrogen and progesterone levels peak during the creation of the uterine lining.Roughly 50-80% of women have experienced some degree of physical or psychological PMS symptoms,but many aren't even aware that PMS can occur so much earlier than the period as contemporary culture perpetuates the myth that it's menstruation,or the period itself that causes these hormonal changes.

那么 另一個重點(diǎn)是 經(jīng)前綜合癥和月經(jīng)是兩碼事，這也涉及到了一個大謠言。它發(fā)生在流血癥狀的7-14天前。PMS要?dú)w因于雌激素和孕酮含量在構(gòu)筑子宮內(nèi)膜時達(dá)到頂峰。約50-80%的女性會經(jīng)歷 某種程度的生理或心理PMS癥狀，卻并不知道PMS會比經(jīng)期早到許多 當(dāng)代文化也使得月經(jīng)本身 造成荷爾蒙改變的謠言得以流傳。

PMS can manifest itself as psychological symptoms such as mood changes.I hate you so much,but you're kind of cute at the same time,but I want to kill you.Anger,crying,Irritability.It's fine,It's fine.It's fine.It's fine.It's fine.Or as physical symptoms such as upset stomach,difficulty sleeping,and even nausea.One woman's PMS is not like the other,which is why how professionals have trouble finding a clear understanding of how it all works.

PMS可表現(xiàn)為諸多心理學(xué)癥狀 如情緒轉(zhuǎn)變。我煩死你了 但你有那么可愛啊，但我也想殺了你。憤怒 ?？奁Ｒ着?。沒事 沒啥 屁事沒有 沒大姨媽的事。。?；蛏戆Y狀 如胃部不適，失眠，甚至惡心。不同女性的PMS也不同，這也是為何科學(xué)家難以找出其確切的機(jī)理。

Other physical changes take place as well.The amygdala in the brain,which controls emotion increases its activity.We also see lower levels of the feel good chemical serotonin and the neurotransmitter gaba which has anti-anxiety effects,meaning stress and anxiety run high.Oh,okay,so,you're wondering why I feel this way when all this stuff is happening in my body?Because I can become a hot mess and I cannot control it.It's like I want to make out with you,but I also don't want you to touch me.Because like you're good looking and stuff,but I also hate you.And I want lots of chocolate.

其他生理變化也在發(fā)生。大腦中控制情緒的杏仁核更活躍。我們也發(fā)現(xiàn) 讓人“感覺好好”的血清素 和抑制焦慮的神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)GABA水平下降，意味著強(qiáng)烈的壓力和焦慮。好吧 你想知道當(dāng)這一切發(fā)生時 我為什么會有這種感覺?因?yàn)槲殷w內(nèi)這一團(tuán)糟控制不住。這就像是我想跟你親熱 但 你特么碰我試試。你長得很帥 但是我還是恨你。給我弄一大堆巧克力。

And here I am thinking that maybe I'm just having a bad day or I'm being crazy because it's not happening at the same time as my period.But no,it could have just been PMS.But when menstruation (or the period)begins,these hormone levels drop sharply.After no fertilization occurs,estrogen and progesterone levels drop and the body realizes it just ain't happening.

現(xiàn)在 我想可能今天只是不太順利 或者 這沒在我月經(jīng)時發(fā)生很讓我狂抓。也不是 可能只是PMS。但是 當(dāng)月經(jīng)開始時 荷爾蒙水平會顯著降低。受精未發(fā)生后 雌激素和孕酮水平下降 身體意識到受精并未發(fā)生。

As a result,it begins to literally shed the layer it had created for a potential fetus.And this shedding of the membrane and mucus has nowhere to go but out,which,of course,has its pitfalls as well.But this is when the really fun part starts.Because although there's not the same amount of hormones raging around in my brain,now I get to push an unused membrane of mucus and blood out of my system.It's honestly a lot of fun,because it causes cramping and bloating and the wonderful condition of wanting to poop but not being able to.

結(jié)果呢 它便開始剝?nèi)ミ@層為胎兒準(zhǔn)備的膜。脫落的內(nèi)膜和粘液只能被排除體外，這當(dāng)然也有它的缺點(diǎn)。不過 有趣的才剛剛開始。當(dāng)我腦內(nèi)不再有那么多胡攪蠻纏的荷爾蒙后，我得把沒用的粘膜粘液和血液排出去。這東西很有意思的 它會帶來腹痛 腹脹 還有想拉卻拉不出來的奇妙感受。

Of course,when it ends,the cycle gets to start all over again,a cycle which is essential for the perpetuation of our species.So if I'm having an off day,dude,just know,I'm doing it for humanity.Because there's only a few consistent cycles in the universe.The sun rises and sets.Tides come in and out.And my menstruation.So appreciate.That's right.Women are awesome,okay?We'll be here signing autographs all night.Seriously.Without the persistent nature of the menstruation cycle,our very existence as a species would be completely altered.

當(dāng)然 這一切結(jié)束后 循環(huán)又要重新開始了，這個循環(huán)對人類的長存至關(guān)重要。所以 要是我今兒不太好，你就當(dāng)我在為人類所貢獻(xiàn)吧。宇宙中畢竟只有幾個固定的循環(huán)。太陽東升西落。潮起潮落。以及我的大姨媽。感激著點(diǎn) 這才像話 女人很偉大的 懂嗎?我們會整晚給你簽名的 真的。沒有穩(wěn)定的月經(jīng)周期，人類作為物種的存在會被徹底改變。

So while changes in mood may be a byproduct of this incredible event,we wager it's all worth it.So thank you women,for being strong enough to put up with PMS and menstruation.

盡管情緒變化只是奇妙周期的副產(chǎn)物，但這一切都值得的。感謝各位女性 你們經(jīng)受住了PMS和月經(jīng)的考驗(yàn)。我們欠你們個情。
