Hint: Everyone who is about to enter puberty, the process by which a child's body transforms into an adult body capable of reproduction, should be taught or be aware of the basic medical definition of menstruation, as well as the fact that it is a normal process that females go through as their bodies prepare for possible pregnancy.

Complete answer:
Normal vaginal bleeding that happens as part of a woman's monthly cycle is known as menstruation, or period. Your body prepares for pregnancy every month. The uterus, or womb, removes its lining if no pregnancy develops. Menstrual blood is made up of both blood and tissue from the uterus.
The end of menstruation is defined by a steady increase in oestrogen levels (which occurs throughout the follicular phase, which begins on the first day of menstruation and ends at ovulation), which causes blood flow to halt and the endometrial lining to thicken. FSH is released during the follicular phase to induce the release of 5-20 follicles (about day 10 of a 28-day cycle).
Only one follicle carries the immature egg, whose release is triggered by another hormone called LH. This is regarded as the ovulatory period (usually occurring at around day 14). To release the egg, the follicle must burst.
This burst follicle (known as the corpus luteum) continues to secrete progesterone and modest levels of oestrogen in order to maintain the uterine lining in preparation for implantation. As a result, the proper response is "oestrogen, FSH progesterone."

Note: Menopause is the term used to describe the end of a woman's menstrual cycle. After a 12-month time without a menstrual period, it's diagnosed. Menopause can strike in your 40s or 50s, but in the United States, the average age is 51. Menopause is a biological process that happens to all women at some point in their lives.
