Preferred term

menstrual cycle  

Definition

  • The regular (roughly 28 days) shedding of the lining of the uterus by women. While a significant occurrence in most women's lives, in Western cultures there are no ceremonies to mark it, and very little public discussion or reference to it in popular culture. [Source: The Sage Dictionary of Health and Society; Menstrual Cycle]
