Describe the physiological basis of the menstrual cycle in females
Describe the physiological basis of the menstrual cycle in females and the hormonal regulation of ovarian follicular development, ovulation, and the uterine menstrual cycle. How do fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) orchestrate the various phases of the menstrual cycle, including menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase? Additionally, how do interactions between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries regulate hormone secretion and coordinate the cyclic changes in ovarian function and endometrial proliferation and shedding? Furthermore, how do disturbances in the menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, anovulation, or menstrual disorders, reflect underlying hormonal imbalances or reproductive health issues?
