Dear Kumekucha,
Thank you for your wonderful site. Some of us have become very educated in politics and many other issues through Kumekucha.
I have a friend who after a very difficult time has recently got into another brand new relationship, but sadly, she is sure it will end in the same way that the previous ones have. I am trying very hard to encourage her and to tell her that life always has pleasant surprises, but she is very negative about the whole thing.
Her problem is a little embarrassing. What happens is that during her periods the odor is excessive and she believes this problem will make it impossible for her to ever live with a man under the same roof. She believes and I have little reason to doubt, that this is what has caused her serious relationships of the past to end when they should have developed further. Few people can actually stand the strong odor that is with her during the three to five days in a month when she has her periods. And of course we all know that men can hardly stand the site of blood.
Kumekucha Says,
The first thing I would like to say to your friend is that nobody is perfect. After 20 years in a very happy marriage, and listening to my wife share with me problems other women are going through, I can tell you that couples have all sorts of problems that they will never speak about in public.
But real love is not getting a "perfect" person. Love is accepting each other as you are. I am very confident that even in her present state there is somebody out there who will love her and accept her as she too loves and accepts them with their weaknesses.
Having said that, you have not mentioned whether she has seen a doctor, because this is important to rule out a bacterial infection, which my research tells me, can in some cases cause excessive menstruation odor.
A specialist doctor friend also tells me that most women are just too sensitive to their own normal body odors thinking that everybody can smell it when this is not the case. Admittedly in ordinary circumstances, odor during menstruation can be caused when air reaches the menstrual fluid. This is however easy to deal with by changing tampons more frequently and if the flow is heavy using tampons that are best suited to deal with heavy flow. However your friend's case does not appear to be as simple as this.
I don’t know why I have this feeling that her problem may be more in her mind than anywhere else and she may need to see a counselor or psychiatrist. I do not know if you are aware that many married couples still have sex during menstruation (not advisable) and we even have menstruation porn on the net, which appears to be fairly popular (that's how sick our world is).
