Question

What is menstrual cycle? Describe it in brief.

​

Answer 1

The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg — a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.

Answer 2

The periodical bleeding from the vagina of women is called menstrual cycle. It usually stays for 5 to 8 days.
