Physiology of the menstrual cycle

JA Owen Jr

Modern techniques of bioassay have permitted correlation of hormonal secretion with genital tissue changes during the normal menstrual cycle. During the follicular phase, estrogen secretion rises while other hormone levels are low. At ovulation luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone surges are associated with falling estrogen levels. Secretions of progesterone and estrogen again are characteristic of the luteal phase ending with menstruation. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormones are detectable just before the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone surges. Basal body temperature rises with ovulation and is still the most reliable clinical indicator, although ferning and spinnbarkeit (when present) are also quite helpful. Vaginal smears are probably less useful except in the hands of experienced observers.
