The menstrual cycle is recurring uterine bleeding that is a sign of puberty. This phenomenon occurs once a month, hence the name "monthly". But the repetition period can vary from 20 to 32 days. Usually bleeding lasts from three days to a week, depending on the characteristics of your body. The amount of blood that comes out with all the harmful substances that have accumulated in your body in a month is small - only 50-100 ml.

In some, it is expressed in a slight malaise, in others, during the menstrual cycle, there are terrible pains in the lower abdomen, there is even a temperature. But do not worry about this, this is considered the norm, you should take these torments for granted. Most likely, they will pass after you give birth.
Why womenmenstrual cycle?
This phenomenon is for he althy conception and pregnancy. In the female body, the same amazing changes occur every month. The uterus begins to prepare "soft ground" for the fertilized egg, which has time to mature somewhere in the middle of the monthly period. It thickens and thickens its walls by 4 times so that your pregnancy runs smoothly. After that, in the last days before the start of bleeding, the uterus accumulates nutrients that your unborn child should develop. If during this period your egg was not fertilized, then the thick mucous membrane that your body does not need is rejected and in the form of menstruation it completely leaves in 3-7 days.
Delayed menstrual cycle
If the sperm got into your egg, then it moves to the uterus, where it will develop for 9 months, as a result you will get a beautiful baby! In this case, mucosal rejection does not occur, and you will not have periods throughout your pregnancy.
