Menstruation is the process of bleeding that occurs periodically and periodically due to the shedding of the lining of the inner uterine wall (endometrium) on the uterine wall that comes out through the vagina in the form of blood vessels, glands and cells that are not used due to the absence of fertilization or pregnancy. Menstruation is a normal periodic bleeding of the uterus which is a physiological function that occurs in female primates.
