Menstrual Cycle & Disorders

The menstrual cycle is a recurring process in females, typically lasting 28 days, involving hormonal changes that prepare the body for pregnancy. It consists of four phases: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Menstrual disorders include conditions like dysmenorrhea (painful periods), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and menorrhagia (heavy bleeding), affecting cycle regularity and flow.
