Till now period blood was considered to be waste from the body only, but recent scientific research is changing this perception. Researchers believe that ingredients such as immune cells, stem cells, endometrial cells, protein and fat present in period blood can play a big role in identifying and treating diseases.
Help can be found in identification of endometriosis
According to a report published in ‘Science Alert’, scientific period with the help of blood is trying to find out if it can soon detect complex conditions such as endometriosis.
-
Endometriosis is a condition in which the inner layer (endometrial tissue) of the uterus begins to spread in other parts of the body such as ovaries, bowels, etc.
-
The disease affects one in every 10 woman, but funding for research on it is very limited.
Success in developing organide
Researchers have developed small 3D models of organoids in the lab from endometrial cells extracted from period blood.
-
These organoids mimic the layer of the uterus and help to understand the model of the disease.
-
This can help scientists understand the symptoms of endometriosis and develop targeted treatment.
Important information gets from immune cells
Period blood contains large amounts of live immune cells, which come from the reproductive tract of the woman.
-
These cells provide information about inflammation levels and immune response in women that suffer from endometriosis.
-
This can help not only identify the disease, but also to treat complications related to penful sex, miscarriage and pregnancy.
