Compiled using information cut and pasted from 'Menstruation' and 'Menstrual cycle' articles (so that they now focus on human reproduction).

Citacion needed for references to changes in the uterus lining during the cycles

edit

I have added two templates of citacion needed in those phrases that refer to spontaneus changes in the lining of the uterus during the cycles, specifically building up before pregnancy and reabsorption if there is not pregnancy, because many species of placental mammals with hemochorial placentas only experiment these changes once there is pregnancy, that is, it is the embrio the one that triggers these changes. In humans, and a list of primates, these changes are spontaneus, independently of the embrio, it is the called spontaneus decidualization, however triggered decidualization (triggered by the embrio) is more common in hemochorial mammals. There are two more types of placenta, and I have not found data about whether these females undergo triggered or spontaneus decidualization (which would be great to know, because it is interesting to understand some speculative studies regarded to the evolution of -overt, very overt- menstruation). So, telling that females undergo spontaneus changes in their uterus lining is a wrong generalization. Pedro Lamo (talk) 07:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is not well explained the difference between overt and covert menstruation

edit

The article is ambigous in the definition of menstruation and fails to explain whether estrous females can undergo menstruations (some of they can, molossus ater females, a bat, menstruate if they don't get pregnant duting their seasonal cycles, see http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aja.1001910102/abstract). A more explanatory text that could clearly differentiate between menstruation and the type of cycles, as well as explain in which species there is reabsorption of the uterus lining and to what extent is needed.

The article should contain more information about menstruation and focuss less on cycles

edit

Besides explaining in a clear way the difference between cycles and menstruation, it would be a great idea that the article centers on menstruation, because it is what it is about, and give information about the length of menstrual phase (instead of estrus phase) and when possible about the volume of menstruations. This is the kind of information people is looking for when they want to learn about menstruation in animals Pedro Lamo (talk) 07:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

– The current naming style for similar articles on biological features and processes seems to be avoiding human-centric terminology. Examples include skeleton and human skeleton, birth and childbirth, and penis and human penis. It would make perfect sense for this article to be similar.

Remove Animal Estrous Cycles section?

edit

The "Animal estrous cycles" section of the article doesn't seem relevant to the topic of menstruation. The rest of the article states that the only known animals that menstruate are primates, bats, the elephant shrew, and the spiny mouse. Yet the Animal Estrous Cycles section seems to be talking about estrous cycles in livestock and other species that don't menstruate. If this section is somehow relevant to the topic of menstruation, it would be nice if it could be clarified how. Otherwise, I would suggest removing it and, if necessary, relocating the information in it to Estrous cycle.

I don't want to do this myself because I'm not an expert in the subject and am not sure that I'm fully understanding the distinction between menstrual and estrous cycles. 2601:246:CD80:910:3F7D:22C6:C32A:DAA3 (talk) 21:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
