MENSTRUATION—Periodic discharge of blood along with other materials from the female genital tract.
MENSTRUAL CYCLE—Regular repetition of events from one menstruation to next.
Uterine event is the most prominent change
![Page 5: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DURATION AND FLOW
Menstrual bleeding is normally painless & contains no clot.
Periodicity &duration of bleeding is remarkably constant in particular women.
Duration of cycle=28+4 days. Duration of bleeding=4-5 days. Amt. of bleeding=40ml.
![Page 6: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Menorrhagia –if bleeding is more than 80ml.
Blood is mainly arterial & contains shredded endometrium, its rich in PG’s
Fibrinolysins prevent the clotting of blood, but if the bleeding is more — clotting does occur.

ENDOMERTRIAL CHANGES--SUMMARY Endometrium—mucous memb.
Lining the uterine cavity. 1).During menstruation (i.e. at
the end of leuteal phase)superficial 2/3rd endometrium k/a STRATUM FUNCTIONALE is shed off.
2).Basal 1/3rd endometrium k/a STRATUM BASALE grows in proliferative phase.

Proliferative phase
![Page 15: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
(1).PROLIFERATIVE PHASE #Starts after cessation of
menstruation. #Duration =10days(highly
variable) #Endometrium starts healing
slowly at 1st ,then proliferates rapidly 4m 5th -14th day.
![Page 16: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
#After bleeding ends endometrium is, 2mm thick &consists of ciliated columnar epi.
#Proliferation occurs in glands, blood vessels, stroma &superficial epi until the endometrium becomes approx 4mm thick.
#Uterine glands in length but remain non secretory.
#There is in contractions of endometrium.
![Page 17: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
#These changes are brought abt under the influence of estrogen which is secreted 4m developing follicle.
#Cervical secretions ----increase in volume ----becomes watery & alkaline ----promotes the survival& transport of sperms ----dries in a fern like pattern when spread on a slide
![Page 18: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ovulation
![Page 19: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
(2).OVULATION #OVARIAN CYCLE-----at menarche
hypothalamic maturation leads to cyclic ovulation
#During each cycle of approx 1month ,10-15 follicles enlarge to become 2 follicles, under the influence of FSH 4m ant pituitary.
#Fluid accumulates in these follicles, but out of 15 only 1enlarged follicles proceed to 2nd stage of ovulation
![Page 20: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#This ovum gets covered by zona pellucida & granulosal cells, its k/a CUMMULUS OOPHARICUS & its picked by fimbriated end of fallopian tubes.
#Then the follicles rupture & ovum is released.
#At the time of ovulation antral fluid escapes & the follicle wall collapses leading to h’age into theca interna & thus forms CORPUS HAEMORRAGIUM
![Page 21: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
#After ovulation capillaries 4m theca interna invade the rapidly dividing granulosa layer & clotted blood is replaced with yellowish lipid rich leuteal cells forming CORPUS LEUTUM
#Corpus leuteum enlarges for 8-9days during which leuteal cells secrete estrogen & progesterone
#At abt 14th day of menstrual cycle , ovulation occurs(at this time cervical mucous is watery thin)
![Page 22: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Secretory phase

(3)SECRETORY PHASE #Represents preparation of uterus
4 implantation of fertilized ovum. #Duration=14days(usually
constant) #Starts after ovulation & extends
up to next bleeding #36hrs after ovulation corpus
leuteum is well formed in the ovary & endometrium undergoes further development to become 6mm thick.
![Page 24: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
#Glands secrete mucous, in length & dia, become tortuous & are filled with secretions (SAW TOOTH APPEARENCE)
#Stromal cells proliferate & enlarge #Spiral arteries become coiled &
dilated and veins become filled with blood.
#All these changes are progesterone dependent. Progesterone also inhibits the myometrium—this prevents the expulsion of implanted ovum.
![Page 25: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
#Cervical secretions become thick, tenacious & cellular forming a viscous plug which constitutes a barrier b/w spermatozoa & microorganisms.
![Page 26: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

(4)MENSTRUAL PHASE #If ovum is not fertilized, corpus
leuteum starts regressing 4m 24th day of the cycle.
#Due to regression of corpus leuteum, estrogen & progesterone secretion decreases & becomes very low.

Luteinizing hormone & follicle stimulating hormone:-
promote ovulation
Oestrogen & progestrone:-
stimulate the uterus & breast for
fertilization
![Page 34: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Menstrual phase Bleeding occurs after estrogen and
progesterone levels decrease at the end of the previous cycle
About this time, the follicle-stimulating hormone level increases slightly, stimulating the development of several ovarian follicles
Later, as the follicle-stimulating hormone level decreases, only one follicle continues to develop.
This follicle produces estrogen
![Page 36: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ovulatory phase The ovulatory phase begins with a surge in
luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels
Luteinizing hormone stimulates egg release (ovulation), which usually occurs 16 to 32 hours after the surge begins
The estrogen level peaks during the surge, and the progesterone level starts to increase
![Page 37: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Luteal phase During the luteal phase, luteinizing hormone and
follicle-stimulating hormone levels decrease The ruptured follicle closes after releasing the egg
and forms a corpus luteum, which produces progesterone
During most of this phase, the estrogen level is high
Progesterone and estrogen cause the lining of the uterus to thicken more, to prepare for possible fertilization
If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum degenerates and no longer produces progesterone, the estrogen level decreases and a new menstrual cycle begins
![Page 38: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Phases of Menstrual cycle
1.Proliferative phase: Starts after cessation of menstruation. Duration =10days Proliferation occurs in glands, blood vessels,
stroma & superficial epithelium until the endometrium becomes approx 4mm thick.
These changes are brought about under the influence of estrogen which is secreted from developing follicle
![Page 43: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2.Ovulation: At menarche hypothalamic maturation
leads to cyclic ovulation At about 14th day of menstrual cycle ,
ovulation occurs in 28 day cycle
![Page 44: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
3)SECRETORY PHASE: Represents preparation of uterus 4
implantation of fertilized ovum Duration=14days Starts after ovulation & extends up to next
bleeding This phase is under control of
progesterone
![Page 45: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
(4)MENSTRUAL PHASE If ovum is not fertilized, corpus luteum
starts regressing from 24th day of the cycle Due to regression of corpus luteum,
estrogen & progesterone secretion decreases & becomes very low which leads to shedding of endometrium
![Page 46: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Hormonal changes
Hormones produced: -Luteinizing hormone
-follicle stimulating hormone
-oestrogen
-progestrone LH & FSH- promote ovulation Estrogen & Progesterone- stimulate the
uterus & breast for fertilisation
![Page 47: PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020713/5516b8d54979591a4d8b4b14/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Menstrual phase: Bleeding occurs after estrogen and progesterone levels decrease As the follicle-stimulating hormone level decreases, only one follicle
continues to develop which produces estrogen
Ovulatory phase: Begins with a surge in luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating
hormone levels The estrogen level peaks during the surge, and the progesterone
level starts to increase
Luteal phase: Luteinizing hormone and Follicle-stimulating hormone levels decrease If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum degenerates and no
longer produces progesterone, the estrogen level decreases and a new menstrual cycle begins
