the easiest way to understand it is kinda like the vagina cleaning itself; basically there’s a discharge (or removal) of blood, ovaries, & other stuff in the vagina & uterine lining that needs to leave the body regularly to make sure women’s reproductive organs stay healthy! this process starts when girls hit puberty, & it becomes a monthly (sucky & uncomfortable) process unless they’re pregnant or their birth controls messes with their hormones. it usually stops when women hit menopause age, around 50ish 🙂
