Periods are also known as the menstruation cycle.
During the menstrual cycle, hormones are released from different parts of the body to help control and prepare the body for pregnancy. That preparation begins when the ovaries (two oval-shaped organs that lie to the upper right and left of the uterus, or womb) produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones trigger certain changes in the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Then, other hormones from the pituitary gland stimulate the maturing and release of the egg, or ovum, from the ovary.
The release of the egg is what we call your period this happens once a month for 4-7 days it varies. The over all menstruation cycle lasts for 28 days.
To cover up the blood leak you wear a pad or a tampon. These can be bought from any convenience store.
