1. menstrual

   The menstrual cycle is a series of natural changes in hormone production and the structures of the uterus and ovaries of the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible. The ovarian cycle controls the production and release of eggs and the cyclic release of estrogen and progesterone. The uterine cycle governs the preparation and maintenance of the lining of the uterus (womb) to receive an embryo. These cycles are concurrent and coordinated, normally last between 21 and 35 days, with a median length of 28 days, and continue for about 30–45 years. Naturally occurring hormones drive the cycles; the cyclical rise and fall of the follicle stimulating hormone prompts the production and growth of oocytes (immature egg cells). The hormone estrogen stimulates the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken to accommodate an embryo should fertilization occur. The blood supply of the thickened lining provides nutrients to a successfully implanted embryo. If implantation does not occur, the lining breaks down and blood is released. Triggered by falling progesterone levels, menstruation (a "period", in common parlance) is the cyclical shedding of the lining, and is a sign that pregnancy has not occurred. Each cycle occurs in phases based on events either in the ovary (ovarian cycle) or in the uterus (uterine cycle). The ovarian cycle consists of the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase; the uterine cycle consists of the menstrual, proliferative and secretory phases. Day one of the menstrual cycle is the first day of the period, which lasts for about five days. Around day fourteen, an egg is usually released from the ovary. Menarche (the onset of the first period) usually occurs around the age of twelve years. The menstrual cycle can cause some women to experience premenstrual syndrome with symptoms that may include tender breasts, and tiredness. More severe symptoms that affect daily living are classed as premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and are experienced by 3–8% of women. During the first few days of menstruation some women experience period pain that can spread from the abdomen to the back and upper thighs. The menstrual cycle can be modified by hormonal birth control.

1. menstrual

   Menstrual refers to the periodic physiological changes that occur in women related to their reproductive system, specifically the menstrual cycle. Menstruation itself involves the regular shedding of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) which results in bleeding from the vagina. This usually occurs monthly from puberty until menopause, excluding periods of pregnancy.

Examples of MENSTRUAL in a Sentence

1. Ursula K. Le Guin:

   Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.

2. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf:

   We should be thinking about menstrual products as school supplies, there are surely things that students in school need to be successful, productive, present and engaged in their school day... if Jennifer Weiss-Wolf parent can't afford tampons or pads on the day Jennifer Weiss-Wolf period comes because their paycheck doesn't come until five days later, that doesn't help Jennifer Weiss-Wolf be successful in the classroom for the days Jennifer Weiss-Wolf need it.

3. Jabal Uffelman:

   Anti-inflammatory meds such as naproxen and mefenamic acid are very helpful, also, if the patient is not planning to get pregnant and has a reliable birth control method, a testosterone pellet is a very useful therapy to improve mood swings and PMS associated with the menstrual cycle.

4. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

   I'm sorry we have to break down Biology 101 on national television, but in case no one has informed him before in his life, six weeks pregnant means two weeks late for your period. And two weeks late on your period for any person -- any person with a menstrual cycle -- can happen if you're stressed, if your diet changes or for really no reason at all. So you don't have six weeks.

5. Rachael Goba:

   They are going to use alternative, unsafe methods such as the cloth and some will even use cow dung. That's how bad the situation is, it has reversed all the gains we have made with regards to menstrual hygiene.
