One of the most fascinating features of the female body is the ability to procreate. But If you take a closer look at a woman’s body, you’ll be able to find lots of curious facts that you probably did not know.
Posthealth has collected nine facts that show that the woman’s body is full of surprises as bizarre as wonderful.
1. One breast is always bigger than the other
No woman has absolutely symmetrical breasts. The difference in size can be invisible or very remarkable, and this can be explained by many reasons. For example, there may be a difference in the volume of the breast tissue or the elasticity of the skin of each breast may be different. However, do not worry, because it’s perfectly normal.
2. The female body transforms enormously during childbirth
To give birth to a baby is a really difficult task, all mothers can confirm it to you. In addition to the terrible pain, the female body undergoes a lot of changes, including the dilation of the cervix.
During pre-delivery period, the cervix changes from a tightly closed entrance to a fully open exit for the baby. To be able to expel it, it must expand to 10 cm, that is to say, the size of a roll. These 10 cm represent just the point of push: the cervix can continue to expand so that the baby’s head can pull out
3- Women bear better pain
It is well known that women supports pain better than men. But it’s not about strength, but about how their brains work.
Some studies show that women and men remember differently the pain they experienced. Although men are more stressed and hypersensitive to the pain they have experienced before, women tend to forget it faster. In general, the threshold of pain in women is nine times higher than in men
4. Women communicate better than men
When it comes to expressing oneself, no one can compete with women. In fact, there is an anatomical explanation for this phenomenon: the frontal and temporal areas of the cerebral cortex (the region of the brain where language skills develop) are greater in women than in men.
5. Women have better muscle resistance
There are studies that show that women can do endurance exercises 75 times longer than men. The reason is hidden in their hormones: it seems that estrogen in women make their muscles more resistant to fatigue
6. A woman’s skin is more sensitive
Women’s skin is typically 25% thinner than men’s, making it more sensitive to touch and other types of stimulation. Unfortunately, this feature also has a bad side: too sensitive skin makes women more prone to developing wrinkles and fine lines when they lose collagen as they age.
7. The mood of a woman depends on her hormones
Most women know everything about the symptoms of PMS, but most of them do not realize that their body is affected by their cycle every day of the month because the levels of hormones in their brains and in their bodies are constantly changing. They also suffer from changes in perspective, energy levels and sensitivity.
For example, women often feel more attractive during the first 10 days of the cycle, and just before ovulation. During this time, they dress sexier to look more attractive. After a week, they prefer to stay at home warm, drinking a cup of hot tea and spending more time with their loved ones.
The week after, they feel depressed and easily irritable. Of course, their state of mind worsens 12 to 24 hours before the start of their period
8. Women live teenage twice
The second period of adolescence in women’s lives, or perimenopause takes place in midlife. It is characterized by irregular periods, night sweats and other unpleasant things caused by changes in their hormone levels. During this transition, hormones can behave so wildly that women come to behave very often like teenagers.
9.Women are very good at reading the facial expression of others
From birth, women have the ability to read people’s faces, thus perfectly deciphering their emotions and feelings. This helps them to be more empathetic with others and to establish good communication with them. In addition, studies show that women memorize perfectly facial features.
