Menstruated is a verb that refers to the natural physiological process that occurs in female humans and other mammals, characterized by the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a specific period known as menstruation. It is an essential part of the reproductive cycle and typically begins at puberty, continuing until menopause.
During menstruation, the lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for pregnancy. If fertilization doesn't occur, this lining is shed through the vaginal opening, accompanied by bleeding. The average duration of a menstrual cycle is around 28 days, although this can vary. Menstruation generally lasts for a few days, although it can range from two to seven days, and emphasizes the female body's reproductive capabilities.
In addition to the release of blood, underlying hormonal changes may also result in various physical and emotional symptoms during menstruation, such as abdominal cramps, bloating, mood swings, fatigue, and breast tenderness. These symptoms, known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), can vary in intensity and duration among individuals.
Understanding and tracking menstrual cycles can be crucial for reproductive health, contraception, and fertility planning. It is worth noting that discussions surrounding menstruation have become increasingly inclusive, acknowledging that not all individuals who menstruate identify as women, and recognizing that some transgender men and non-binary individuals may also experience menstruation.
The word "menstruated" comes from the Latin word "menstruatus", which is the past participle form of the verb "menstruare". This Latin word is derived from "mensis", meaning "month" or "menstrual cycle". Hence, "menstruated" refers to the process of experiencing menstruation, which is the natural monthly shedding of the uterine lining in females.
