Menstrual Cycle

The menstrual cycle is the regular, natural change that affects the female reproductive system, including the uterus and ovaries, and it is this change that allows for pregnancy. The cycle is necessary for both the production of oocytes and the prenatal preparation of the uterus. Up to 80% of women claim to experience a few adverse effects from one to 14 days before to their period. Hormonal changes are a representation of the menstrual cycle. By using hormonal contraceptive pills, these progressions can be prevented from leading to pregnancy. Depending on the changes in the ovary (ovarian cycle) or the uterus (uterine cycle), each cycle can be divided into three parts. While the uterine cycle is divided into the menstruation stage, follicular stage, and luteal stage, the ovarian cycle consists of the follicular stage, ovulation, and luteal stage.
