Menstruation begins at puberty and determines the advent of sexual maturity in women. It presents as a bleeding that comes from the womb and lasts for 3 to 7 days. The hormones, sex organs and the brain are also involved.
The symptoms of menstruation are:
1. Abdominal pains
2. Pain in the vagina
3. Pain in the legs
4. Diarrhea
5. Fatigue
6. Mood swings
Because the hormones are related to the menstrual cycle, when it is irregular, the doctor should be consulted since an alteration in menstruation can be a result from a hormonal alteration.
