How Does the Menstrual Cycle Affect Endometrial Regeneration?
The menstrual cycle is divided into several phases: the menstrual phase, the proliferative phase, and the secretory phase. During the menstrual phase, the functional layer of the endometrium sheds, leading to menstrual bleeding. This is followed by the proliferative phase, where estrogen stimulates the regeneration of the endometrial lining. Finally, the secretory phase is dominated by progesterone, preparing the endometrium for possible implantation.
