When I work with images of the reproductive system, many people see a picture or a model from the gynecologist's office - the uterus, tubes, ovaries. But our reproductive system does not end with organs in the small pelvis, it also includes parts of the brain.
Here's how it looks in its entirety, five steps.
- Highest level: Cerebral cortex.
- Baseline: hypothalamus.
- Middle level: pituitary gland.
- Lowest level: ovaries.
- Target organs: uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, mammary glands.
We feel reproductive health disorders at the lowest level and in the target organs, and as a rule, all therapy is aimed at working there, at eliminating problems and symptoms. But few people think (especially illiterate doctors) that the center of regulation by the system is located in the cerebral cortex.
A small backstage of this process: brain cells (neurons) receive information about our internal state and about the state of the external environment, transform it into neurohumoral signals, which are transmitted to the hypothalamus through neurotransmitters (dopa, seratonin, endorphin).
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones that trigger the production of hormones in the pituitary gland (LH, FSH, Prolactin), and these, in turn, trigger the work of the ovaries, the production of progesterone, estrogens and androgens, which regulate the work of target organs.
Do you feel how wisely and subtly everything is thought out by nature?
Thus, initially it is the information about the external and internal situation that determines the correctness of the operation of the entire system.
- External environment: this is our atmosphere at home, relations with my husband, with relatives; this is the environment at work; financial confidence; general security.
- Internal setting: our experiences from past traumatic experiences; experiences and ideas about motherhood, formed in the framework of relations with our parents; our feelings and attitudes towards ourselves as a woman.
This connection is evidenced by the recorded cases of ovulation disorders during chronic stress or climate change, cases of aminorrhea (cessation of menstruation) in wartime.
Therefore, solving problems of reproductive health, correcting functional disorders, it is necessary not only with the help of pills and interventions, but also through psychotherapy. It is psychotherapy that helps to improve the internal situation and change the quality of life.
Today, psychological assistance is available in any city, from anywhere in the world, and it costs no more than we spend on cosmetologists, hairdressers and manicure. And why is the soul worse than hair and nails?
Don't waste your time!
