What is Periods

Menstruation which is also known as a periods. Is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina.
Simply
Normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman’s monthly cycle. Every month, body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus.
The menstrual cycle is characterized by the rise and fall of hormones. Menstruation is triggered by falling progesterone levels and is a sign that pregnancy has not occurred. Means egg is not fertilized.
The first period, a point in time known as menarche, usually begins between the ages of 12 and 15. Menstruation starting as young as 8 years would still be considered normal.The first day of one period and the first day of the next is 21 to 45 days in young women. In adults, the range is between 21 and 35 days with the average being 28 days. You can also say 28 days cycle is Healthy Cycle.
