The woman's reproductive experience begins with menarche, extends through fertility for twenty to forty years, enters the climacteric (including perimenopause), and finally the reproductive experience ends with menopause. During menstrual cycle many women experience with Premenstrual syndrome which occurs during the luteal phase. Both the conditions are due to altered estrogen and progesterone ratio.
