‘menstrual bleeding‘

‘catamenia’
‘period’

(the flow of ‘menses’ normally serves as a sign that a woman has not become pregnant)
.
(however, this cannot be taken as certainty, as a number of factors can cause bleeding during pregnancy; some factors are specific to early pregnancy, and some can cause heavy flow)
(during the reproductive years, failure to menstruate may provide the first indication to a woman that she may have become pregnant)
(levels of ‘estradiol’ (the main estrogen), progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone andluteinizing hormone during the menstrual cycle, taking inter-cycle and inter-woman variability into account)
(“eumenorrhea” denotes normal, regular menstruation that lasts for a few days (usually 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 7 days is considered normal))
(the average blood loss during menstruation is 35 milliliters with 10–80 ml considered normal)
(because of this blood loss, women are more susceptible to iron deficiency than men are)
(an enzyme called ‘plasmin’ inhibits clotting in the menstrual fluid)
(painful cramping in the abdomen, back, or upper thighs is common during the first few days of menstruation (most women experience some pain during menstruation))
(severe uterine pain during menstruation is known as ‘dysmenorrhea’, and it is most common among adolescents and younger women (affecting about 67.2% of adolescent females))
(when menstruation begins, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) such as breast tenderness and irritability generally decrease)
(many sanitary products are marketed to women for use during their menstruation)
(the most fertile period (the time with the highest likelihood of pregnancy resulting from sexual intercourse) covers the time from some 5 days before until 1–2 days after ovulation)
(in a 28 day cycle with a 14-day luteal phase, this corresponds to the second and the beginning of the third week)
(a variety of methods have been developed to help individual women estimate the relatively fertile and the relatively infertile days in the cycle: these systems are called “fertility awareness”)
(fertility awareness methods that rely on cycle length records alone are called “calendar-based methods”)
(methods that require observation of one or more of the three primary fertility signs (‘basal body temperature’, ‘cervical mucus’, and ‘cervical position’) are known as “symptoms-based methods”)
(urine test kits are available that detect the LH surge that occurs 24 to 36 hours before ovulation; these are known as “ovulation predictor kits” (OPKs))
(computerized devices that interpret basal body temperatures, urinary test results, or changes in saliva are called “fertility monitors”)
(a woman’s fertility is also affected by her age)
(as a woman’s total egg supply is formed in fetal life, to be ovulated decades later, it has been suggested that this long lifetime may make the chromatin of eggs more vulnerable to division problems, breakage, and mutation than the chromatin of sperm, which are produced continuously during a man’s reproductive life)
(however, despite this hypothesis, a similar ‘paternal age effect’ has also been observed)
(humans have ‘menstrual’ cycles rather than ‘estrous’ cycles)
(they, unlike other species, were thought to not have any obvious external signs to signal estral receptivity at ovulation (aka ‘concealed ovulation’))
.
(recent research suggests, however, that women tend to have more sexual thoughts and are far more prone to sexual activity right before ‘ovulation’ (‘estrus’))
.
Menstruation is also called menstrual bleeding, menses, catamenia or a period.
The flow of menses normally serves as a sign that a woman has not become pregnant.
(However, this cannot be taken as certainty, as a number of factors can cause bleeding during pregnancy;
some factors are specific to early pregnancy, and some can cause heavy flow.)
During the reproductive years, failure to menstruate may provide the first indication to a woman that she may have become pregnant.
