Comprehending the Pain of Menstruation

The monthly cycle that the female reproductive system goes through results in symptoms that are known as menstrual cramps. The lining of the endometrium, which is the inner membrane of the uterus, is lost every month if the eggs that are released by the ovaries during that time of the month do not become fertilised. This process is known as menstruation. During this phase, the body secretes prostaglandins, which encourage the contraction of the smooth muscles of the uterus. This is necessary for the process of giving birth. The monthly flow is produced by the contraction of the muscles, which also assists in the removal of the tissues that make up the endometrium.
