Physiological Stages • Neonatal period: birth---4 weeks • Childhood: 4 weeks----12 years • Puberty: 12 years---18 years • Sexual maturation: 18 year---50 year • Perimenopause: decline of ovarian function (40 years)----1 year postmenopause • Postmenopause:
Menstruation Menstruation cyclic endometrium sheds and bleeds due to cyclic ovulation Mense 1.Endometrium is sloughed (progesterone withdrawal) 2. Nonclotting menstrual blood mainly comes from artery(75%) 3. Interval: 24-35 days(28 days). duration: 2-3 days. the first day of menstrual bleeding is considered by day 4. Shedding: 30-50 ml
