Cycle of Life Understanding Menstruation

Introduction to Menstruation

• Menstruation is a natural process in which the
  lining of the uterus is shed through the vagina.
  It occurs in women of reproductive age as a
  result of complex hormonal interactions.
  Menstruation typically begins during puberty and
  continues until menopause, marking the end of a
  woman's reproductive years. It is a vital
  biological process that prepares the body for
  potential pregnancy.

The Menstrual Cycle

• Each phase is characterized by specific hormonal
  changes and bodily processes. The menstrual phase
  involves the shedding of the uterine lining,
  while the follicular phase prepares the body for
  ovulation. Ovulation marks the release of an egg
  from the ovary, and the luteal phase prepares the
  uterus for potential implantation.

• The menstrual cycle refers to the regular series
  of changes that a woman's body goes through each
  month. It is influenced by the fluctuation of
  hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone.
  The duration of the menstrual cycle may vary from
  person to person but usually lasts around 28
  days. Understanding the menstrual cycle helps in
  tracking fertility and overall reproductive
  health.
