AI:Who created these hormonal cycles in female every month snd male in certain age in thi era since five hundred tears why it was commercialised and when when robotics came into this stuff how the building temples public private areas reserved for this stuff got modernised commercialised turned into elite one from simple who’re persons responsible for it.

 

There is no single person or moment which “created” hormonal cycles (for female monthly menstruation or male age-related hormonal changes) or the commercial-industrial complex around them. Instead, what you’re observing is a complex historical process involving biology, culture, religion, medicine, commerce and technology. I’ll sketch out how key pieces of that process developed, what shifted over the last ~500 years (or more) and how “commercialisation” and modern institutionalisation entered the picture.
1. Biological & cultural basis of hormonal/menstrual cycles
The fact that many women have a roughly monthly cycle of ovulation/menstruation is a biological phenomenon of human reproduction. For example, the overview of what a menstrual cycle is explains that each month the uterus builds a lining then, if no pregnancy, sheds it.

Early medical-philosophical traditions (Greek, Roman, Indian, etc) tried to explain menstruation within their frameworks of humours, body fluids, and cosmology. For example: Pliny the Elder wrote in ancient Rome that menstrual fluid could have magical or contaminating effects.
Wikipedia

In ancient Hindu/Ayurvedic thinking there were links between women’s “rakta” (blood) and lunar cycles.

Cultural rites: Many societies had special rituals, taboos or seclusion associated with menstruation (sometimes called “menstrual huts” or seclusion during moon-time) reflecting spiritual/social practices rather than purely biomedical ones.

So up to roughly 500 years ago (and earlier) the “cycle” was recognized in various ways (observed, ritualised, medicalised) but not in the modern sense of hormone-levels, monthly contraceptive markets, robotic therapies etc.
2. Institutional, ritual and social arrangements: temples, huts, public/private spaces
In various religious/cultural settings women during menstruation might be considered “ritually impure” (in some traditions) and therefore separated from temples or certain communal spaces. For example, certain Hindu or Buddhist texts link menstruation with lunar/body rhythms and prescribe periods of rest or seclusion.
Healthline
These arrangements varied by class, culture, region. Over time, as societies urbanised and industrialised (19th / 20th centuries), many of the older ritual-spaces changed in meaning. For example, middle-class Victorian Europe began to treat menstruation with modesty norms and new sanitary product markets.

Commercial hygiene products (pads, tampons) started becoming mass-market late 19th / early 20th century in places like US/UK.

So, the shift from “simple/ritual” to “commercial/industrial/private elite/consumer” was gradual and partly driven by changes in economy, gender norms, technology (manufacturing, advertising) and medicine.
3. Commercialisation of hormones and therapy
In the biomedical domain, the identification of hormones (e.g., estrogens, testosterone) and their therapeutic uses is a 19th/20th century phenomenon. For example, Charles Edward Brown‑Séquard self-injected animal-testicle extracts in 1889, initiating hormone therapy research.

The commercial hormone replacement therapy (HRT) industry really took off mid-20th century. For example, the drug Premarin (made from pregnant mare urine) was introduced in 1942.

These therapies gradually became profitable medical/consumer products, influenced by pharmaceutical companies, marketing, medical practice, and changing social norms around menopause, sexuality, aging, gender performance.
So rather than “someone decided to make hormonal cycles” the biomedical and commercial infrastructure enabled new ways of managing, modifying, advertising, therapising those cycles (or the absence thereof).
4. Robotics, AI & modern “therapy scheduling”
The question of “when robotics came into this stuff” is more speculative. The use of robots in menstrual/hormonal therapy is not widely prominent yet; however broader robotics/automation in medical therapy (e.g., hormone pumps, endocrine-therapy devices, wearable monitoring) is relatively recent (late 20th to early 21st century).
AI modelling of menstrual cycles, hormone prediction etc is now emerging (see machine-learning papers modelling female hormonal cycle length etc).
arXiv
The “temples public/private areas reserved for this stuff” idea might refer metaphorically to specialised clinics (women’s health centres), “menstrual huts” in traditional societies, or private therapy spaces in modern times. Over centuries, these spaces evolved: from ritual/seclusion huts to medical offices to specialised health-centres and commercial wellness facilities.
The “elite” aspect: As expensive therapies, hormone treatments, sophisticated monitoring and device-based or robot-assisted interventions become available, access often becomes stratified by wealth/privilege. So what began as communal, ritual, bodily-cycle management becomes commodified into private healthcare markets.
5. Who were/could be the “persons responsible”?
There isn’t one person, but key figures and institutions include:
Early physicians and philosophers (e.g., Galen, Soranus, authors of De Secretis Mulierum) writing about female reproductive physiology in medieval/early modern period.
Wikipedia
+1
Biomedical pioneers of endocrinology such as Brown-Séquard, and later hormone-researchers in the 20th century.
PMC
+1
Pharmaceutical companies marketing HRT and menstrual/hormonal-related products in the 20th century (not always named individually here).
Social and cultural change-agents: feminists, medical reformers, women’s health movements that challenged taboos and pushed for scientific understanding and markets for menstrual/hormonal health. (For instance modern research organisations.)
Technology firms and medical device manufacturers working in hormone-therapy, wearable health, AI/robotics etc (emerging field).
6. Why did it become commercialised and “elite”?
The shift to commercialisation is driven by:
The medicalisation of reproductive and hormonal cycles (turning them into conditions to diagnose/treat).
Technological development (hormone therapies, devices, monitoring).
Market forces: pharmaceutical companies, medical device firms, advertising to consumers.
Changing social expectations: e.g., aging, menstrual hygiene, body image, women’s health, fertility control—leading to large markets.
“Elite” access: Advanced therapies, personalised monitoring, robotic/AI-assisted interventions cost money, are often in private health sector. So what once was managed in everyday communal/ritual contexts becomes part of high-tech/health-wealth systems.
Commercialisation of sanitary products (pads, tampons) is part of this shift: from custom cloth in households, to mass-manufactured branded products.
Also culture: as modesty norms, industrial work, urbanisation changed rhythms of life, cycles became more managed (timed, tracked, optimised) rather than simply lived.
7. Timeline Snapshot
Pre-modern (ancient through medieval): cycles observed, ritualised (menstrual seclusion huts, temple abstinence), medical humoral theories.
Early modern (~1500-1800): more medical texts on female reproduction, but still limited scientific understanding of hormones.
19th / early 20th century: beginnings of endocrinology, hormone extraction, early therapies.
Mid 20th century: mass manufacture of menstrual hygiene products, hormone replacement therapies, consumer marketing.
Late 20th / early 21st century: digital/AI/robotic health technologies, personalised hormone tracking, high-tech wellness, elite access.
The temple-to-clinic-to-high-tech progression reflects broader changes in society, medicine, technology and economy.
