Is shedding of the lining uterus every other month is known as menstruation?

Menstruation refers to the shedding of the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) and is a normal process in women of reproductive age. Typically, menstruation occurs once a month and lasts for several days. The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones and involves the growth, thickening, and shedding of the endometrium in preparation for potential pregnancy. If menstruation occurs every other month instead of every month, it may be considered irregular or infrequent menstruation and could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors, or underlying medical conditions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the cause of irregular menstruation and receive appropriate guidance or treatment if needed.
