Menstrual blood is considered as a waste. But researches have shown that the blood is rich in stem cells. The undifferentiated cells, which can differentiate into specialized cell types, are called stem cells. Stem cells can be broadly divided into two parts, embryo stem cells and adult stem cells. Further, there are three types of stem cells; they are Hematopoietic stem cells, Mesenchymal stem cells and Endothelial stem cells. The main area where the stem cells help mankind is its power to renew blood cells. The stem cell therapies can cure fatal diseases like Parkinson’s diseases, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s diseases, Cancer, Spinal Cord injury, diabetes and many more. These stem cells are found in majority in the menstrual blood. Stem cells have the capacity to renew the white blood cells. The disease of bone marrow requires stem cells to remove the destructed tissues.
There are different sources of blood rich in stem cells. Cord blood is one such source. The cord is used to cure fatal diseases too. Recent researches have shown that the menstrual blood is rich in stem cells. These stem cells in menstrual blood will help to create cells, tissues and organs too. In case of diseases, the affected tissues are first destroyed. Once the tissues have been destroyed, the blood rich in stem cells are injected. This blood not only cures the affected tissues but also helps to generate new tissues. There are few controversies related to the usage of cord blood stem cells by some ethical groups. The reason for the controversy is due to destruction of human embryo. But the usage of menstrual blood doesn’t welcome controversy.
The menstrual blood has not yet been tried on humans. But it has proved vital in the labs. In case you want to preserve the blood a kit will be provided to you by the health center. The kit will have all the requirements to preserve the menstrual blood. Fatal diseases like bone marrow where the capability to regenerate the blood cells are lost, there the stem cells play a significant role. The blood containing high percentage of stem cell is rich in white blood cells and thus it helps in bone marrow transplantation. It is even believed that very soon blood banks to preserve menstrual blood will be established. This blood may be used by the donor or for public. The usage of menstrual blood will decrease fatal diseases in mankind. The method to collect the menstrual blood is painless and it is hassle free. The stem cells can help to generate cells, tissues and even organs. It is said that there us wonder in women, who comes every month and we were just unaware of the fact. As researches have proved the menstrual blood to be fatal, soon the exact way to preserve it for the future and to use it for a better tomorrow will be shown to us. The usage of menstrual blood to cure diseases like bone marrow, leukemia and many more will increase and human science will have much more to give us.
