The menstrual blood, which comes in every cycle, is considered to be a sanitary waste. Today recent researchers have proved that menstrual blood is rich is 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 majorly three types of stem cells; they are Hematopoietic stem cells, Mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial stem cells. . As it can renew the white blood cells it can cure severe diseases too. Hence, it is better to store the menstrual blood for our own future. The blood cures diseases like leukemia, osteoporosis, spinal cord injury, strokes, burns, metabolic disorder and many more. Menstrual blood is one such type of blood, which is rich in stem cells.
The menstrual blood has not yet been used in human body yet. It has only been used in the labs till date. There are health centers, which provide kit to store the menstrual blood for future use. The menstrual blood needs to be collected in the collection package. The freezed packs are to be kept in the freezer the moment it arrives. A menstrual cup is given to collect the blood. A teaspoon of the fluid needs to be collected. Once the fluid is collected, it needs to be refrigerated. While the first sample to been freezed the second sample may be collected. The collected blood is send to the healthcare. Once the blood is collected, it undergoes the process of preservation. The preservation process is such that the blood retails the quality. The amount, which is stored, is a nominal amount. In the recent years the cost to store the menstrual blood will fall drastically. The menstrual blood has shown wonders at the laboratories. Hence we can understand that in the near future the menstrual blood will change the face of human science. The waste is more considered to be sanitary. Science has proved that there is wonder in women every month. We were just unaware of the miracle that we use to throw away. Very recent menstrual blood banks will be established too. Neurological disorders are to be cured with the menstrual blood.
The stem cells are self renewing in nature. If the blood from a women’s body, which is thrown away a sanitary waste, is collected, preserved, it can be utilized to save millions of lives. Lots of researches have proved that the Adult stem cells are vital for human treatments. It has been seen that the adult stem cells have proved very important for diseases like Parkinson’s diseases, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s diseases, Cancer, Spinal Cord injury, diabetes and many more. Though there are few controversies, regarding using the stem cell from the umbilical cord as it involves destruction of human embryos. Hence, no ethical group can object using of the menstrual blood to save lives. We can conclude with the notion that the sanitary waste is no more a waste.
