MENSTRUATION – MENSTRUAL FLOW

The thick layer of cells is broken up and shed. Blood vessels are opened up and so bleeding occurs.

This is the period, or menstrual flow.

And then the cycle begins over again.

The usual pattern is for a cycle of about 28 days. Ovulation happens about 14 days before the period starts.

This is fairly constant, and may vary only from 13 to IS days.

If the cycle is longer — say, between five and six weeks between periods — ovulation still occurs about 14 days before the period begins.

While this time of ovulation to period is constant, what does vary is the time from period to ovulation.

Sometimes a period may be missed altogether, and many women are concerned that “bad\blood is being retained and can cause all sorts of problems.

This is not so.

When the periods are “heavy”, it means that an excess amount of endometrium is built up and then got rid of.

Conversely, when the period is light, it means that only a small amount of tissue has been built up.
