Answer: ___________________

What Is It
The menstrual flow usually lasts for three to five days while the menstrual
cycle lasts for 28 days. However, other factors like stress, fatigue, illness, and
malnutrition can alter the cycle. The menstrual cycle will eventually stop when there
are no more egg cells to be released. This phase is called menopausal stage and
could take place between 45-55 years of age.

Menstruation, or period, is a normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a

woman’s monthly cycle. Every month, female bodies prepare for pregnancy. If no
pregnancy occurs, the uterus sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood
and partly tissue from inside the uterus.
