Menstruation is a normal part of being a woman and happens to almost all women (unless there is a health condition which prevents it).
A woman's periods (which is the common term for menstruation) is a normal part of her life, which starts in the early teenage years for most, and continues until menopause switches the menstrual cycle off.
Menstruation is a vital process, without which, it is difficult to conceive and get pregnant.
