What happens to the body at different stages of the cycle?

To choose the right care, you must first understand what happens to the body at each stage.

First Phase: Follicular Phase (1-13 days of the cycle)

The beginning of the new cycle is associated with the renewal of the body. After the previous menstruation is completed, the reproductive system is restored, the growth of 5-20 follicles in the ovaries occurs, the estrogen level increases, the endometrium (the inner mucosal membrane of the uterus) thickens.

Second Phase: Ovulation (13-15 days of the cycle)

Ovulation occurs after completing the follicular phase. Then the estrogen level reaches a summit. The body triggers the release of luteinizing hormone (regulates the functions of the sex glands). Libido increases, temperature increases, short -term pain in the lower abdomen.

Third stage: lutein phase (15-28 days of the cycle)

A yellow body is formed in the place of a exploding follicle – temporary endocrine iron. It produces progesterone (hormone) by creating optimal conditions for a possible pregnancy. The temperature rises slightly, the chest may increase and become sensitive.

Fourth Stage: Menstruation (1-5 days of the cycle)

If pregnancy does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels decrease sharply. This triggers the rejection of the functional layer of the endometrium (the inner mucous membrane of the uterus) and starts menstruation (monthly).

It is important to understand that every girl makes the cycle differently. There are several factors that affect the individual characteristics of the body:

-Theyetic factors (40-50% of the effect);

-Formation, lifestyle, physical activity (30-35% of the effect);

-Psychoemotional factors (15-20% effect);

-Health (5-15% effect).
