Understanding the Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system works in a cyclical pattern regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The menstrual cycle consists of a follicular phase, dominated by estrogen and FSH, which prepares the body for ovulation, and a luteal phase, dominated by LH and progesterone, which prepares the endometrial lining for implantation. Monitoring hormone levels, such as FSH, LH, and estradiol, can help determine a woman's reproductive health and proximity to menopause.
