Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.

Can homeopathy actually cure uterine prolapse and up to which stage is it effective? I've heard there are four stages of prolapse but not sure when homeopathic treatment works and at what point surgery becomes necessary. Would love some clarity on how far homeopathy can help before needing other options
Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vagina, can be treated with various methods, ranging from conservative approaches like pelvic floor exercises and pessaries to surgical options. The most suitable treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse, the patient's overall health, and their future fertility plans
