💡 Key Idea

The Menstrual Cycle: A 28-Day Hormonal Rhythm

One cycle, four phases, one egg.

The menstrual cycle is a recurring ~28-day ovarian cycle in females, ending in menstruation. It is divided into four phases controlled by hormones.

↳ The cycle is counted from the first day of menstrual flow to the next onset, about 28 days later.

📖 Definition

Menarche, Menopause & Menstruation

Three M-words that define reproductive life.

↳ Menstruation is absent before puberty, during pregnancy, and after menopause.

⭐ Important Fact

How Long Does Menstrual Flow Last?

Three to five days of flow.

↳ Flow duration (3–5 days) is shorter than the full cycle (28 days) — don't confuse the two.
