Menstrual cycle

Menstrual cycle

the process of ovulation and menstruation in women and other female primates.

The entire duration of a Menstrual cycle can be divided into four main phases:

• Menstrual phase (From day 1 to 5)
• Follicular phase (From day 1 to 13)
• Ovulation phase (Day 14)
• Luteal phase (From day 15 to 28)

The menstrual cycle is complex and controlled by many different glands and thehormones that these glands produce. The four phases of the menstrual cycle are menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase. Common menstrual problems include heavy or painful periods and premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
