Understanding the Menstrual Cycle: Phases and Hormonal Regulation

Menstruation is a natural process where the uterine lining sheds accompanied by bleeding in monthly cycles. The menstrual cycle consists of three phases - Follicular, Ovulatory, and Luteal - regulated by hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This cycle starts with menstruation, followed by the re
