What is Menstruation?

The video, presented by Megana, explains menstruation, a process also known as periods, MC, masik, or chums. It begins with puberty, where reproductive systems develop, allowing adults to reproduce. Girls have microscopic eggs in their ovaries, and each month, the uterus prepares for a potential baby by building a nutrient-rich lining called the endometrium. If no fertilization occurs, this lining is shed as menstrual blood, a clean substance. Menstruation starts between ages 9-19 and lasts 3-5 days, occurring every 28 days. The video also clarifies misconceptions about menstrual blood and the vagina's cleanliness. Menstruation ceases at menopause, around age 50.
