Summary Introduction
To review:
The range of days with the highest level of estradiol and progesterone secretion.
Introduction:
The monthly shedding of endometrium of the uterus in the primate females is termed as menstruation. The menstruation is governed by several endocrine hormones in the female body. The alteration in the level of related hormone leads to the shedding and development of the endometrium within the uterus.
