Menstruation: a Natural Phenomenon in a Woman’s Life
By
Menstruation is considered as a natural phenomenon which usually occurs in the girls during the stage of adolescence which starts by the age of 12 years. Menstruation thus reflects the start of the puberty period in the females. With the very occurrence of menstruation, the adolescent girls experience different changes which occur in them, both physical and psychological. Menstruation is a normal cycle which lasts for a number of 3 to 5 days which occurs after a length of 28 days in the normal span.
Unpleasant symptoms like cramps, migraine, abdominal pain, dejection, breast tenderness etc occurs during menstruation. These symptoms last for only a short span of time after which it is overcome. Menstruation helps in the process of cleaning and purifying the female body from the excess toxins and wastes. Menstruation however can be assumed as a normal process of change in the physiological system in the female body. The cycle of menstruation may vary from woman to woman. Some women may experience normal cycle of menstruation while others may experience some complications in the menstrual normal cycle.
Menstruation thus depicts the normal reproductive capacity in women. This natural phenomenon of menstruation which generally occurs during puberty virtually lasts till a woman reaches the stage of menopause. Menopause is thus the stage of woman’s life when one experiences the stoppage and the cessation of menstruation. This generally occurs as and when women reach the age of 45 in the normal basis. Menopause stops the fertility period in the women’s life.
Menstruation is in fact, a major course of change in a girl’s life. Menstruation turns a girl into a woman thereby enabling them to develop their fertility prospect. Menstruation is also known as menses in the regular term. It is a Greek terminology, which usually refers to the cycle of the moon round the earth which takes around 28 days. On the basis of this, thus the term menstruation has been evolved which reflects to the normal periodic cycle which occurs around after 28 days in a woman’s life.
Menstruation as it a monthly bleeding system, it flows out generally from the uterus which is connected with the cervix through certain small openings to the vagina. During menstruation, different parts of the woman’s body is involved like the pituitary glands, the fallopian tubes, the brain, the cervix, the uterus, ovaries and most importantly the vagina. It is very important to be stated here that during menstruation period, the hormone in the woman’s body experiences varied rise and fall.

Very normal especially if you are nursing and even if you aren't. Your body just has to bet back into the swing of things. Congradulations on the new baby.

Sugary foods do tend to make periods a little more uncomfortable. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables and exercising regularly can relieve period cramps and pains.

Interestingly, it is not the presence of a hormone that causes the endometrium (uterine lining that grows the blood vessels) to be shed, but it is the LACK of a hormone, progesterone, that causes the event.
Progesterone, is made by the "scar" (called the corpus luteum – which means yellow body) on the ovary from where the egg erupted. The uterus, when there is a foreign object in it contracts to squeeze the foreign object out. Progesterone's effect is that it stops the uterus from contracting when there is a foreign object in the uterus.
During the menstrual CYCLE (not the menstrual period), the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, grows blood vessels and blood flows though the vessels. The endometrium and the associated blood vessels and blood is what is shed during the menstrual period. The endometrium also acts like a foreign object to the uterus. Should the egg be fertilized and implant, then the endometrium cannot be shed as if it were, the egg would be flushed out, too. Progesterone stops the squeezing or cramping of the uterus that would eject the endometrium.
So, when the egg implants, it gives off a hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). HCG causes the cells of the corpus luteum to stay 'healthy' and functioning. Thus, since the corpus luteum produces progesterone, progesterone continues to be produced and the endometrium is not ejected and the woman is pregnant.
However, if the egg is not fertilized, then the corpus luteum degenerates (no HCG) and progesterone stops. With no progesterone, the uterus rejects the endometrium along with the blood vessels it grew and the blood that is associated with the blood vessels.

This is much too complex an issue to address in this forum. There are many reasons for disturbances in the menstrual cycle and the treatments would not all be the same. It could be hormonal, it could be a physical issue, it could be her diet, it could be something else entirely. There's no point in guessing.
She should see her OB/GYN; that's the only way to figure out what's really going on.

It is a certain time in a young woman's life where she can become pregnant if she engages in sexual intercourse

A regular cycle means it comes every X amount of days, lasts for X amount of days, and the woman experiences the same amount of flow.
For example, I've always cycled every 26-28 days for 3-5 days with an average flow. Irregular could mean that I cycled in 27 days, but for an onset of 7 days with a heavy flow. If I do that several months in a row, i'd say that my cycle was irregular and would visit my dr.

Dogs don't menstruate, but go into heat or season.
Females are in season for approximately 21 days about twice a year and is divided into 3 parts.
The first part lasts anywhere from 3-14 days during which a bloody discharge and swelling of the vaginal area are usually seen.
Next the dog will become receptive to being bred and actively may seek out a male dog. This is the time when she can become pregnant. The discharge may change color at this time and become lighter.
Finally, the discharge will become clearer, the vaginal swelling will diminish and the dog will no longer allow herself to be bred.
While your dog is in heat you must watch her carefully to avoid unwanted breeding and subsequent puppies. If you are not planning on breeding your dog, please have her spayed to help prevent unwanted puppies. It I will also lower her risk to several types of cancer .
I hope this helps you

They do not menstruate, they have heat cycles. It is the same for all breeds, about 3 weeks but the spotting should diminish or stop after the first week-10 days. Have her fixed and you will not have to go thru this every 6-8 months.
