The menstrual cycle is a recurring cycle of physiological changes in the females of some animal species that is associated with reproductive fertility.

This article concentrates on the menstrual cycle as it occurs in human beings.

Overview


Only human beings and the great apes experience a true menstrual cycle. Most placental mammals experience estrus instead. The menstrual cycle is under the control of the reproductive hormone system and is necessary for reproduction. In women, menstrual cycles occur typically on a monthly basis between puberty and menopause.
