Menses is blood and other matter that is discharged and discarded from the uterus during a woman’s menstruation. The menstruation cycle is the term that refers to the physiological changes that occur within fertile female humans, and of course, apes. Overt menstruation occurs within humans and some animals, like chimpanzees. This overt menstruation is where there is a blood flow that comes from the uterus, and out from the vagina. Females of other kinds of animals, notably placental mammals, undergo estrous cycles. This is where the endometrium is completely reabsorbed by the animal at the end of the reproductive cycle. This is completely different to what happens to a human and does not involve any menses.
The menstrual cycle is controlled by the endocrine system, and is completely necessary if a human being wants to reproduce. It is usually divided into three different phases. These include the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase - though some other people would argue that the phases are in fact the menstruation phase, proliferative phase and the secretory phase. Menstrual cycles can be counted from the first day of menstrual bleeding, too, and in humans is considered to be around 28 days.
Hormonal contraception will interfere with the normal hormonal changes, with the intention of stopping reproduction. These include the pill, and the morning after pill. Menstruation can be hidden by many products on the market today. These sanitary products include tampons and towels, which are designed to stop blood from staining clothes and generally becoming a nuisance. These can be purchased from most convenience stores today, and are really simple to use. They absorb the menses and stop it from being released too heavily. At the end of the day the product can be removed, and discarded along with the menses.
