Did you know that women gain a new organ during pregnancy? This and other strange things only happen in the female body.
They say that women are complicated beings, and to tell the truth, that is no exaggeration. Although the male body is a complex tangle of life, it is the female body that surprises us with exclusive and intriguing functions.
In today’s article, as you will see, we list some features and situations that only happen throughout a woman’s life. As you will see, they are all situations or biological changes or triggered by them, capable of leaving anyone open-mouthed.
A good example of this is the fact that the female body gains a new organ during pregnancy. Did you know this happened? And that it is possible to tell whether a person is a woman or not, and get the result right 99% of the time, just by analyzing fingerprints?
Shocking, interesting, intriguing, right? And these are not even close to being the strangest facts in the selection that you can see below.
Check out 11 things that only happen in the female body:
1. Women are naturally more flexible
Compared to the male body, women are much more flexible because their muscles contain more elastin than collagen.
The disadvantage is that this same composition accelerates the appearance of wrinkles and causes them to have more joint pain than they do during intense physical activities.
2. Women live longer than men
In women, the immune system is more resistant to external and even internal threats and their cells age more slowly than in men. Because of this, women not only get less sick than men, they also live longer lives than men.
3. There are always more single women than single men
It may seem like this data has nothing to do with the subject, but it does. In a way, the fact that there are more single women than single men is related to the high mortality rate among men.
To get around this, in some countries people try to artificially influence the birth of boys, such as in the United Arab Emirates. There, for every 1000 women, there are 213 men.
4. Women are happier with the smell of men’s sweat
It may seem absurd, but men’s sweat, full of pheromones, makes the female body function better in general. There are reports that these male hormones stabilize the menstrual cycle, improve mood and reduce anxiety.
5. A single woman can have 40 children or more
There is a genetic peculiarity that allows some women to have dozens and dozens of children.
To date, it is believed that the world champion in the number of children is a Russian woman, from the city of Shuya, who lived at the beginning of the 18th century. She would have given birth to 69 children and had 29 births, 16 of which were twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadruplets.
6. It is possible to tell if a person is a woman just by their fingerprint
According to science, the amount of amino acids in the female body is twice as high as in the male body, which are distributed throughout the body in different ways.
In fact, this is why scientists can tell a person’s sex just by looking at their fingerprints. The most impressive thing about this is that there is 99% accuracy in these cases.
7. Breastfeeding gives women superpowers
As you have already seen in this article (click to see), during pregnancy women develop a kind of interesting superpowers. This continues during breastfeeding because of abnormal hormone production that affects brain function and the female body.
At this stage, the woman feels less anxiety, becomes much more courageous, becomes more understanding, distinguishes sounds and colors better and is even able to read thoughts, as she begins to better understand people’s moods.
8. Contraceptives change the way women smell
As it is a hormonal interference, which suspends fertility during its use, contraceptives alter the balance in the female body and also change the woman’s natural smell. The effect of this is that women who use these medications become less attractive to men.
According to science, this happens because the man receives the message unconsciously, through smell, that the woman is not ready to give birth.
9. Female memory is much better
The female brain uses different types of hemispheres to store information, which gives women better verbal and associative memories than men.
According to experts, this is linked to changes in estrogen levels related to the menstrual cycle.
10. Women gain a new organ during pregnancy
You’ve already heard about this new organ, but you’ve probably never noticed the fact that it only appears during pregnancy. We are talking about the placenta, which appears during the growth of the embryo and influences the production of hormones, allowing the baby to grow safely inside the mother’s womb.
Soon after giving birth, the woman “loses” this new organ, which is eliminated when the baby is born.
11. The female brain is more adaptable because of hormones
The area of the female brain responsible for emotions, memory and attention has a great capacity to adapt to changes by adjusting the level of estrogen in the woman’s body.
The result of this is that during the menstrual cycle a woman’s behavior and even personality can be drastically changed.
