The Menstrual Cycle
MELC with code: Explain menstrual cycle (S5LT-IIc-3)

Background Information for Learners:
Menstruation is the periodic monthly discharge of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium), lasts
about 3 to 5 days and occurs on the average, every 28 days.
Once a month an egg cell is released from an ovary. Every time an egg cell is released the uterus
prepares itself for implantation. This is when a thick lining of blood vessels slowly develops. If the egg is
fertilized it passes into the uterus and attaches itself to the thickened lining. If the egg is not fertilized the
uterus lining breaks down and is expelled through the vagina. This process is called menstruation and is often
referred to as a period. The whole sequence of changes in developing a new uterus lining and producing an
egg is call the menstrual cycle. Menstruation is an indication that a woman is not pregnant.
Factors such as genetics, diet and overall health can affect cycle. Periods or menstruation usually
occurs between age 11 and 14 and continue until menopause at about the age of 45 – 55.
Besides bleeding from the vagina, the following are also experienced during menstruation: lower
back pain, bloating and sore breasts, food cravings, mood swings and irritability, headache and fatigue
