Menstruation (Contraception)

Period, menstrual flow. If an egg is not fertilized within a certain amount of time, the estrogen and progesterone levels lessen gradually. When the levels of these hormones get too low to support the thickened endometrium, the outer two thirds of the endometrium is shed. The inner third stays to create a new lining in the uterus so that the cycle can begin again.


Menstruation (Female Health)

Vaginal bleeding resulting from the process of periodic shedding of the endometrium. The first day of menstrual flow marks the beginning of a new menstrual cycle.


Menstruation (Gynecological)

A cyclical process of the endometrium shedding its lining, along with discharge from the cervix and vagina, from the vaginal opening. This process results from the mature egg cell (ovum) not being fertilized by a sperm cell as it travels from one of the ovaries down a fallopian tube to the uterus, in the process called ovulation.


Menstruation (Gynecology)

A cyclical process of the endometrium shedding its lining, along with discharge from the cervix and vagina, from the vaginal opening. This process results from the mature egg cell (ovum) not being fertilized by a sperm cell as it travels from one of the ovaries down a fallopian tube to the uterus, in the process called ovulation.
