What are the most common menstrual conditions? To better understand what might happen during menstruation, it’s necessary to understand the terminology of the cycle. What is the Menstrual Cycle? A woman’s menstrual cycle is made up of four phases, menstruation (the actual bleeding), the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Menstruation is when the body starts to bleed with the period.  The thickened lining of the uterus is expelled from the body through the vagina, and during this time, that generally lasts between four days to a week, the uterus sheds this lining.  The menstrual fluid contains blood, mucus, and the cells, endometrial cells, from the uterus. The follicular phase is next and it starts on the first day of bleeding and ends with ovulation. During this time, the pituitary gland releases follicle stimulating hormone FSH, this  hormone then stimulates the ovary to produce around 10 follicles which houses an immature egg.  Usually only o...
