Detailed explanation-1: -Menstruation. Menstruation is one part of a person’s menstrual cycle which includes the shedding of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) that occurs throughout a person’s reproductive life.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. The cycle starts with the first day of one period and ends with the first day of the next period. The average woman ovulates on day 14.
Detailed explanation-3: -Changes During the Menstrual Cycle The menstrual cycle is regulated by the complex interaction of hormones: luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. The menstrual cycle has three phases: Follicular (before release of the egg) Ovulatory (egg release)
Detailed explanation-4: -About once a month, during ovulation, an ovary sends a tiny egg into one of the fallopian tubes. Unless the egg is fertilized by a sperm while in the fallopian tube, the egg leaves the body about 2 weeks later through the uterus-this is menstruation.
