② Western medicine explanation

Menstruation is vaginal bleeding caused by periodic shedding of endometrium caused by periodic changes of ovarian hormones. After puberty, the ovary develops gradually under the stimulation of gonadotropin secreted by hypothalamus-pituitary gland. Under the action of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone, follicles gradually grow and mature, and secrete a lot of estrogen.

Under the action of estrogen, the endometrium proliferates and thickens, showing proliferative changes. Under the action of luteinizing hormone, mature follicular rupture ovulates, and after ovulation, follicles form corpus luteum, and corpus luteum cells secrete progesterone.

Under the joint action, the endometrium further proliferates due to the secretion of its glandular epithelial cells, and the secretion period changes. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum begins to shrink, and the average life span of corpus luteum is 14 days. After corpus luteum atrophy, the level of estrogen and progesterone in the ovary drops rapidly, which makes the endometrium contract unsupported and fall off due to ischemic necrosis, so vaginal bleeding occurs, commonly known as menstrual cramps.
