Menstruation is the process in which the endometrium which was ready for the Implantation sheds of when ovum does not get fertilized with sperm. Yes, the endometrium prepares itself for the Implantation of zygote during this cycle. In the end, if the Ovum fertilized with the Sperm of man than the Zygote formation occurs and this Zygote gets implanted in the Uterus in its wall, called Endometrium.

In this course Endometrium which is the innermost layer of The uterine wall becomes highly vascular and thick so if the Fertilization occurs and the zygote formation occurs than it is ready to implant it.

 

This whole process is under the control of HORMONES CALLED FSH, LH, OESTROGEN, AND PROGESTERONE.  As the menstrual cycle is under control of these hormones, fluctuations, and changes in these levels of hormones may lead to certain abnormalities in the Female.

 
These abnormalities can be -

·       Amenorrhea –Absence of Menses

·       Dysmenorrhea – Painful Menses

   And many other conditions related to the Menstrual Cycle.

 

On the other hand, PMS is a common condition that is faced by many women. Intensity may vary from Female to Female.

Painful Periods (dysmenorrhea), or painful menses, is a common complaint during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE.

It may occur as a result of irregular contractions of the muscles present in the wall of the uterus. It may have a hormonal basis in its order of development.

Dysmenorrhea may vary in its intensity. Some women may feel intense pain and some female may have minor pain during the menstrual cycle. 

Dysmenorrhea is divided into the following Types:
