Menstrüel

Menstrüel refers to the physiological process of menstruation, commonly known as a period. This is a natural biological function in people with a uterus that typically occurs monthly. The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones and involves the thickening of the uterine lining, known as the endometrium, in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the endometrium sheds, resulting in menstrual bleeding.

Menstrual bleeding typically lasts between three to seven days. The amount of blood lost can vary, but it is generally a small volume. The menstrual cycle is often measured from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. While the average cycle length is about 28 days, it can range from 21 to 35 days and still be considered normal.

Factors such as stress, diet, exercise, and certain medical conditions can influence the regularity and characteristics of the menstrual cycle. Menstruation is a sign of reproductive health and is a normal part of life for many individuals. Products like pads, tampons, menstrual cups, and period underwear are commonly used to manage menstrual flow.
