Colores de la Menstruación: El Código Secreto de tu Salud Hormonal 🩸🎨

El color de tu sangre menstrual no es casualidad; es un sistema de codificacion que indica la velocidad de tu flujo y el tiempo que la sangre paso en contacto con el oxigeno. La observacion de estos tonos es una herramienta simple para monitorear tu salud. 🤯

El Factor Oxidación (El Tiempo es Clave) ⚠️

Rojo Brillante (Cereza): 🍒

Significado: Es el color de la sangre fresca y rapida. Indica un flujo intenso en los dias pico del periodo.

Rojo Oscuro, Marrón o Negro: 🟤

Significado: Es sangre vieja y oxidada. La sangre que tarda mas en salir del utero reacciona al oxigeno, cambiando de rojo a marron o negro. Es normal verlo al inicio o al final del periodo.

Rosa o Acuoso (Dilución): 🌸

Significado: Indica que la sangre se esta mezclando con otros fluidos corporales, o que el flujo es muy ligero. A veces, el flujo muy palido puede ser señal de niveles bajos de estrogeno.

Gris o Naranja (ALERTA DE INFECCION): 🚨

Significado: El color grisaceo, a menudo acompañado de un olor fuerte y desagradable (a pescado), es una señal de infeccion, comunmente Vaginosis Bacteriana o Tricomoniasis.

Acción: Requiere consulta medica inmediata.

El Olor Importa: La sangre menstrual tiene un olor metalico natural, pero un olor fétido o a pescado junto con colores extraños (naranja/gris) es un fuerte indicativo de infeccion. 🤢

Tu ciclo es tu reporte de salud. Conoce tu normalidad. 💖

AVISO MÉDICO IMPORTANTE: El contenido aquí presentado es para fines estrictamente educativos y de divulgacion. Si notas flujo gris, naranja, dolor severo o sangrado entre periodos, consulta a un ginecologo. Este material no reemplaza la evaluacion clinica.

Every woman deserves safe, respectful care before, during and after birth. Yet millions still can't access it.

More midwives are key. With midwives, countries can avert up to 64% of maternal deaths, expand contraception access for millions, protect rights (through education, contraception and comprehensive abortion care), and ensure care that is dignified and respectful.

Sharing for the community….

11/24/2025

It’s sad to see how hard it’s becoming to provide quality and safe care in so many places. Who suffers the most when places have to shut down?? WOMEN!!!

After 47 years of serving our community and welcoming more than 16,000 babies, it is with very heavy hearts that we share that Lifecycle Wellness and Birth Center will be closing its doors in 2026.

From the beginning, Lifecycle Wellness has been dedicated to providing evidence-based, family-centered care that empowers clients to make informed choices and experience birth in a supportive, home-like environment. For decades, our team of Certified Nurse Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses and staff have worked to create a model of care that honors the natural process of birth while ensuring safety, compassion, and respect for every family we serve. It has been our privilege to support so many of your families through some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Growing challenges have made it increasingly difficult for small, independent, and non-profit maternal health providers to exist. Birth centers are uniquely designed to serve healthy, low-risk pregnancies, yet shifts in public health and rising rates of medical complications have reduced the number of families eligible for this model of care. At the same time, the cost of maintaining high-quality, personalized services has continued to climb, from staffing and training to facility upkeep and liability coverage, while insurance reimbursement rates have not kept pace.

In addition, Pennsylvania, like much of the U.S., has seen a steady increase in malpractice insurance premiums and legal pressures on maternal health providers. These financial and regulatory challenges have been difficult for even large health systems to manage, and have forced many independent and community-based centers to close or merge. Despite our best efforts to adapt our model through partnerships, operational efficiencies, and advocacy, these pressures have grown too great to sustain. In today’s healthcare environment, it has become increasingly difficult for small, independent providers to continue offering the kind of individualized care that has always defined Lifecycle Wellness.
