A woman undergoes various physiological changes during her lifetime. A regular menstrual cycle is an important indicator of a healthy reproductive system. Menstrual cycle is regulated by two hormones, Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone. These are produced by the pituitary gland; they promote ovulation and stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone. The levels of these hormones decide the regularity of cycle.
