00:04Yes, and with my gata.
00:06No!
00:07Yes, several times.
00:09Yes.
00:09Yes, many times.
00:11Yes, of course.
00:13Yes, of course.
00:13All the time.
00:14It's not a joke, but there is no scientific or scientific explanation enough to understand
00:20why the rules are not synchronized.
00:22But it's something that happens.
00:23The first time he studied this phenomenon was in 1971, and he offered the name of Efecto Macklintock,
00:30because the psychologist Martha Macklintock analyzed 135 students who lived together in a residence.
00:37His goal was basically to see what happened with the menstrual cycles when people live together.
00:42And this relationship between the environment, the context in which we habitamos, and the biological aspects.
00:47During an academic year, he interviewed three times, asking when he had started his last and penultimate period menstrual.
00:53Basically, what he found was that there was a relationship between the convivencia, the amistad, and the regla.
00:59The study showed that those who lived together, they were synchronized.
01:02That when they were friends, although they didn't share the same room, they also happened.
01:07And that the super-level was when they were friends and lived together.
01:11This investigation came to the conclusion that the pheromonas of women could affect each other.
01:16And here is where the debate comes from why this theory would not have a support.
01:21Well, it turns out that in the scientific community, there is no consensus on whether people produce or not pheromonas,
01:29which are like these chemical particles that affect physically and comportment of individuals of the same species.
01:35And they have associated a lot with sexual aspects and reproductive aspects.
01:39But let's leave the pheromonas on one side and let's go back to the menstruation.
01:45What we know and know very well is the hormone of stress, which is called cortisol.
01:51And the cortisol has a strong impact on the menstruation cycle.
01:56So, if you have a lot of people who live together, sleep more or less at the same time,
02:02come together, have habits and routines similar,
02:05almost the same style of social life,
02:08and all of them, for X week a month, are managing levels of stress.
02:12Well, there is the answer to why they could retrasarse,
02:17and get to sync with the period.
02:20Now, scientists and mathematicians,
02:22emphasis on the O's,
02:23say that it's a problem of probability.
02:26It's a pure coincidence.
02:27Well, of so many people that you know,
02:29and if you menstruate,
02:31it will arrive a moment in which you will coincide.
02:33But a study last year,
02:35tried to prove the McClintock effect on people who didn't know before.
02:39Participated 62 women of 22 years old,
02:42all students of medicine and with historical cycles regular.
02:45They accommodated to parejas and lived together for 13 months.
02:49Every month they interviewed and collected information about their period.
02:53And at the end,
02:54to 17 of these couples,
02:56or the 54.8%,
02:58they had synchronized the menstruation.
03:00That's why ginecos and women's health and women's health
03:03say that it's important to see the menstruation
03:06not only as a biological process,
03:07but also as a social issue.
03:09And the way in which we live,
03:11we feed, we feed,
03:12we feed and we feed,
03:13we influence,
03:14and that's why we can't reach a scientific explanation
03:17of why we synchronize ourselves
03:20and prefer to attribute it to the power of the friendship,
03:23the love,
03:24the proximity,
03:25the moon,
03:25or whatever we want.
03:27But in that shock of a rational explanation
03:29versus the experience,
03:31for many,
03:31it's more of this shared experience.
03:33That type of feminine connection,
03:35if you want to call it,
03:36to be able to talk and share
03:38about your menstruation
03:39and live it at the same time.
03:41A topic that,
03:42for years,
03:43they told us that it's sucious
03:44and they taught us
03:45to support the pain in silence
03:46because it's normal.
03:48And that you synchronize the period
03:49with someone that you want
03:50and share it
03:52is to feel understood.
03:53Or even to know
03:54that you don't judge
03:55because you know
03:56what you're doing.
03:57that empathy
03:58that we can only
03:59menstruate
04:00we can understand.
