A woman gets her period through a natural biological process known as menstruation, which is a key component of the menstrual cycle.
The menstrual cycle typically lasts between 21 and 35 days, with an average of 28 days. It involves hormonal fluctuations that prepare the body for potential pregnancy.
Menstruation begins at puberty, usually around the age of 12, and continues until menopause, which typically occurs between 45 and 55 years of age.
The cycle is regulated by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which control the release of eggs from the ovaries and the preparation of the uterine lining for a fertilized egg.
If an egg is not fertilized, the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
The first menstrual period, known as menarche, marks the onset of a woman’s reproductive years and is a significant milestone in female development.
Menstrual bleeding typically lasts between 2 to 7 days, with the average amount of blood loss being around 30 to 60 milliliters per cycle.
