Examples of menstruation in the following topics:
-
- During menstruation, the body begins to prepare for ovulation again.
- These hormone drops cause the uterus to shed its lining and the egg in a process termed menstruation.
- High estrogen and progesterone levels stimulate increased endometrial thickness, but following their decline from a lack of implantation, the endometrium is shed and menstruation occurs.
-
- In addition to pain during menstruation, the pain of endometriosis can occur at any time of the menstrual cycle.
- The most intense pain is usually during menstruation which causes dread in women.
-
- Most menstrual cycles have several days at the beginning that are infertile (pre-ovulatory infertility), a period of fertility, and then several days just before the next menstruation that are infertile (post-ovulatory infertility).
- Finally, calendar-based methods assume that all bleeding is true menstruation.
- Incorrectly identifying bleeding as menstruation will cause the method's calculations to be incorrect.
-
- Enlargement of sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum production occur with increased androgen production during puberty and directly before menstruation.
-
- Inadequate nutrition, especially starvation, can delay menstruation.
-
- The syncytiotrophoblast also produces human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone that "notifies" the mother's body that she is pregnant, preventing menstruation by sustaining the function of the progesterone-producing corpus luteum within the ovary.
-
- If not fertilized, this egg is flushed out of the system through menstruation.
-
- Two to 10% of women have significant premenstrual symptoms that are separate from the normal discomfort associated with menstruation in healthy women.
- Symptoms begin in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (after ovulation) and end shortly after menstruation begins.
-
- Female athlete triad is a combination of eating disorders, disrupted menstruation, and low bone density.
-
- However, some sources use a different set of phases: menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.
- Continued drops in levels of estrogen and progesterone trigger the end of the luteal phase, menstruation and the beginning of the next cycle.
