The story of menstruation begins with the pituitary gland, which sends hormones to the ovaries and uterus to trigger growth. When a girl reaches 11-17 years old, the pituitary gland signals the ovaries to prepare the uterus for a fertilized egg. If the egg isn't fertilized, the body sheds the extra lining, resulting in menstruation. The narrator debunks myths about bathing and exercise during menstruation, and emphasizes the importance of tracking periods, maintaining good posture, eating healthy foods, and having a positive attitude on the menstrual cycle.
