Menstruation - Repeating Cycle

Menstruation is a natural process that occurs in women every month. It is associated with the monthly cycle, which begins with the first day of menstruation and ends with the day before the next menstruation. The cycle lasts on average 28 days, but can vary from 21 to 35 days among different women.

The main process in the monthly cycle is the formation and ovulation of the egg. Typically, each month one of the ovaries releases one egg, which is transported through the fallopian tube to the uterus. At this time, the hormone progesterone is produced, which makes the intrauterine mucosa more spongy and prepares it to meet the flow of sperm and fertilize the egg.

If the egg is not fertilized, progesterone production stops and the lining separates from the uterus. This process, known as menstruation or menstruation, lasts 4-5 days. At this time, the egg is released from the body along with the remnants of the uterine mucosa and some blood.

After the end of menstruation, a new cycle begins with the growth and development of another follicle inside the ovary. If the egg is fertilized, it attaches to the inner surface of the uterus, and pregnancy begins.

A missed period is the first sign of pregnancy, although it can also be caused by other reasons, such as emotional or physical disorders. In adulthood (40-50 years), menstruation occurs with less regularity until it stops completely. Then menopause occurs - a natural state when it is impossible to have children because the ovaries stop producing eggs capable of fertilization.

The menstrual cycle is an important indicator of a woman's health. Some women may experience various problems during their periods, such as painful or heavy periods, delays or irregularities. If you have such problems, consult your doctor for advice.

Overall, menstruation is a natural process that occurs every month for women. They can be uncomfortable at times, but with the right care and medical attention if needed, women can easily manage their menstrual cycle and continue with their daily lives.
