The number of primordial follicles in new born female child ranges over 7 million and during reproductive period (at puberty) the number is around 60,000 to 70,000. During a woman’s lifetime, she will only ovulate 300 to 400 of the 1 – 2 million eggs, she was initially born with. On the other side, men will produce over 500 billion sperms in their lifetime.

Menstruation is a periodical phenomenon that continues from puberty to menopause, this will happen if the released ovum is not fertilized by the sperm. Lack of menstruation generally indicates pregnancy.

Normally one egg matures in the ovary each month. Ovulation is the rupture of the follicle releasing the egg or ovum. The uterus prepares itself to receive the fertilized egg every month. The uterine lining becomes thick and spongy for implantation of the fertilized egg.

Events leading to when fertilization occurs and does not occur: If fertilization takes place the corpus luteum persists, continues to secrete progesterone maintains the thickened state of uterine wall and prevents maturation of another follicle till the end of pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, corpus luteum degenerates, the egg disintegrates and the uterine lining slowly breaks, discharged as blood and mucus leading to menstrual events.

The milk produced from the breast during the first 2 to 3 days after child birth is called colostrums. It contains immune substances and provides immunity to the new born which is essential for the body.

Sometimes ovaries release two eggs and each is fertilized by a different sperm, resulting in Non-Identical Twins (Fraternal Twins). If single egg is fertilized and then divides into two foetus, Identical Twins develop.

The inverted red triangle is a symbol of family planning in India for family welfare. It is displayed prominently at all hospitals, primary health clinics and family welfare centres where any help or advice about family planning is available free of cost. The symbol is displaced along with a slogan Small Family, Happy Family.

Every year May 28 is observed as Menstrual Hygiene day to make girls and women aware of maintaining menstrual hygiene and importance of menstrual hygiene for good health. By way of awareness through films, discussions and campaigns menstrual hygiene has taken quite the centre stage in recent days.

The menstrual hygiene scheme to provide subsidized sanitary napkins was launched by the Health ministry in 2011. In Tamil Nadu, UNICEF has developed an affordable incinerator that uses firewood to handle sanitary napkin waste at schools and special wells are equipped where sanitary napkins are composed.
