As a gynecologist with extensive experience in women's health, I can provide you with a detailed explanation of the menstrual cycle and the process of menstruation. During a woman's menstrual cycle, her body prepares for the possibility of pregnancy. The cycle typically lasts about 28 days, although it can vary from woman to woman. The process begins with the release of an egg from the ovaries, a process known as ovulation. This is triggered by a surge in the hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH). Once the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube and into the uterus. If the egg is not fertilized by sperm, it does not implant into the uterine lining. Instead, the lining of the uterus, which has been built up in anticipation of a potential pregnancy, begins to break down. This breakdown of the uterine lining is what leads to menstruation. The egg and the lining of the uterus are expelled from the body through the vagina during menstruation, which is commonly referred to as a period. The shedding of the uterine lining is a natural process and is part of the menstrual cycle. This cycle is crucial for a woman's reproductive health and fertility. So, to answer your question, the egg does not typically come out during the period. Instead, it is the uterine lining that is shed during menstruation. If an egg is not fertilized, it will disintegrate and be absorbed by the body. read more >>
