Menstruation:
Menstruation happens when the egg is not fertilized and the thick uterine lining tears, enabling blood, tissues, and the unfertilized egg to flow from the vagina.
When the egg is not fertilized and is ripped off the body, the menstrual cycle begins.
When the ovary produces one egg every month at the same time, the uterus prepares to accept a fertilized egg.
The uterine lining grows and saponifies in order to carry the embryo and nourish it after fertilization.
The lining is ripped. If the egg does not fertilize, blood and mucus are expelled through the vaginal opening.
The menstrual cycle lasts five to seven days, or until all endometrial debris and blood are evacuated.
