How to use menstrual period to lose weight? What is the principle? When girls reach puberty, due to the action of sex hormones secreted by the ovaries, the endometrium is shed periodically, causing uterine bleeding; because this bleeding occurs regularly once a month, it is called "menstruation." The time between two menstrual periods is called the "menstrual cycle"; most women have their first menstrual period around the age of 10-13, until they stop menstruating around the age of 47-50, with each menstrual period ranging from 3-7 days.

A menstrual cycle of 28 days can be divided into 4 stages:

1. Follicular phase (days 1-12), the follicles begin to grow in the ovaries, and at the same time the ovaries Secretes hormones to help the lining of the uterus grow.

2. During the ovulation period (day 13-14), when the follicles mature, they release eggs, which are sent from the ovaries to the uterus through the fallopian tubes.

3. Luteal phase (days 15-28). After ovulation, if the egg stops in the fallopian tube and the egg is not fertilized, the endometrium stops growing.

4. During the menstrual period, when the endometrium cannot continue to grow, it will gradually peel off, and blood and broken mucosa will be discharged from the uterus through the vagina. This is menstrual blood, and at the same time, another cycle in the body will begin.
