    The Menstrual Cycle

    The menstrual cycle is a monthly process in women that prepares the body for pregnancy. It
    involves four key phases:

    1. Menstrual Phase:
    ○ Shedding of the uterine lining.
    ○ Occurs for 3-5 days.
    2. Follicular Phase:
    ○ Follicle growth in the ovaries stimulated by FSH.
    ○ Estrogen levels rise, thickening the uterine lining.
    3. Ovulatory Phase:
    ○ LH surge triggers ovulation, releasing a mature egg.
    4. Luteal Phase:
    ○ Ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum, producing progesterone.
    ○ Maintains the thickened uterine lining.
    ○ If no fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to menstruation.
    Hormonal Regulation:

    ● FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Stimulates follicle growth.


    ● LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers ovulation and corpus luteum formation.
    ● Estrogen: Thickens the uterine lining.
    ● Progesterone: Maintains the uterine lining.
