@anatomypulse5: What is menstruation? Every month, the body prepares for a possible pregnancy. Hormones signal the ovaries to release an egg, while the uterus builds a soft, blood-rich lining. If the egg is not fertilized, the body no longer needs that lining. So, it slowly breaks down and leaves the body as menstrual blood. This is called a period — a normal, healthy part of the female reproductive cycle. MenstruationExplained #FemaleHealth #PeriodEducation #MedicalAnimation #HumanBody #ReproductiveHealth
