This video talks about the Menstrual Phase of the Menstrual Cycle. The menstrual phase is the first part of the menstrual cycle, typically lasting 3 to 7 days, during which the uterine lining is shed. This process is marked by low levels of estrogen and progesterone, leading to the expulsion of blood, mucus, and tissue through the vagina. Symptoms often include cramps, lower back pain, bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, mood swings, and fatigue. Over-the-counter pain relievers, heating pads, and hygiene products like pads, tampons, and menstrual cups help manage these symptoms and maintain comfort. As this phase progresses, the endometrium starts to regenerate, and rising estrogen levels prepare the body for the follicular phase.
This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
