 What Is It
The menstrual flow usually lasts for three to five days while the menstrual cycle lasts
for 28 days. However, other factors like stress , fatigue, illness, and malnutrition can alter
the cycle. The menstrual cycle will eventually stop when there are no more egg cells to be
released. This phase is called menopausal stage and could take place between 45-55 years
of age.
Menstruation, or period, is a normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a
woman’s monthly cycle. Every month, female bodies prepare for pregnancy. If no pregnancy
occurs, the uterus sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from
inside the uterus.

blood comes out of the vagina.

Day 6-10 The uterine lining starts to thicken again.

Day 19-28 The uterine lining starts to thicken again preparing for possible
fertilization and implantation of zygote.

1. What makes menstrual cycle important among females?

Answer: It serves as preparatory phase for possible pregnancy in females.. This also
serves as indicator on whether a female is fertile or not on a certain time of the
month.

2. What happens during ovulation?

Answer: The egg cell travels along the oviduct or fallopian tube and waits for asperm.

3. Why does uterine lining in the uterus thicken during the menstrual cycle?
 Answer: The thickening of the uterine lining prepares the uterus for possible
implantation of a fertilized egg.

4. Does exercise help lessen the pain and discomfort brought about by
dysmenorrhea? Explain your answer.
