Menstruation, as we all know, is a natural phenomenon that every woman experiences, right from the beginning of her puberty until she reaches menopause.

Every month, for at least 4-5 days, a woman experiences bleeding from her vagina that is caused by the shedding of the uterine wall, if the woman does not become pregnant.
