Menstrual blood cells – potential tool for future therapies and the advancement of female healthcare! 

Menstrual blood, once considered merely waste, is now recognized as a valuable source of stem cells with the potential to revolutionize healthcare. These stem cells hold promise for pioneering advancements in medical treatments, offering hope for a brighter future in female healthcare and beyond. 

For a long time, menstruation was considered as something filthy and unclean, because the decayed tissues of the uterine lining come out with the blood, and the bacteria in the vagina only contribute to its „uncleanness”. Therefore, in earlier times there were many false superstitions, for example, that a bleeding woman was associated with evil forces, was unclean and shouldn’t be touched. But nowadays one should understand the real role and good qualities of this blood, including the presence of stem/stromal cells.
