Episode notes
Progesterone Withdrawal Starts Repair
- Progesterone withdrawal triggers the period by allowing inflammatory cells to break down the womb lining.
- The same withdrawal initiates repair via vessel constriction and hypoxia to enable scar-free healing.
Hormones Restart During Bleeding
- Hormones are blood-borne chemical messengers that coordinate the cycle from the brain to the womb.
- Early follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release restarts the cycle even while bleeding continues.
Heavy Flow Is Defined By Impact
- Heavy bleeding often arises because blood vessels fail to constrict normally during menstruation.
- Clinical blood volume matters less than the bleeding's real-life impact on activities and wellbeing.
