The female reproductive system is more complex than its male counterpart and therefore it is not surprising that it is subject to more frequent disturbances. Unlike the male reproductive system, where the major reproductive organs and glands are visible externally, the major organs and glands of the female system lie inside the pelvic cavity and are not visible, except for the breasts and vestibule or outer entrance to the vagina.
Disturbances of the menstrual and reproductive functions are extremely common and are a source of continual suffering for many women throughout their lives. In many countries the topic of reproductive function is traditionally veiled in secrecy, and as a result, many women do not fully understand the natural processes and cycles occurring in their bodies, or are misled by superstitions and false or inaccurate information.
Many are too shy or ashamed to seek guidance and assistance when troublesome irregularities of function occur, while many others accept their problems philosophically or are not even aware that a disturbance is present and that a healthier state is possible.
Menstruation is a natural monthly cycle in Women. It is approximately the monthly vaginal discharge in humans and other mammals. The discharge consists of blood and cells which sheds from the lining of the uterus. The bleeding can last from two to seven days and signifies that no conception has taken place. The main hormones involved in controlling Menstruation are estrogen and progesterone.
The cycle begins when a dormant egg cell within an ovary begins to ripen. The cells around this maturing egg cell then release estrogen which prompts the lining of the endometrium to thicken as preparation for the receipt of fertilized egg. When the egg matures, ovulation begins. In ovulation, the matured egg will burst from the ovary and go down to the fallopian tube to the uterus. The cells that are left behind after ovulation will then begin the production of progesterone. This hormone, the progesterone, is responsible for the further growth of the endometrium.
Menstruation is experienced by women between puberty and Menopause can start between the age of 8 and 18 and last until between ages 40 and 60. The Menstrual Cycle of most women is about 28 days, though it can vary considerably from one month to another.
