Definition

  • Menstruation is the periodic discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus, which occurs approximately monthly in nonpregnant women from the onset of puberty to menopause and is necessary for female reproduction. Menarche, or the first menstrual period, occurs during puberty and signals the onset of the reproductive years of a woman. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Menstrual Problems]
