The statement is not accurate. Menstruation refers to the monthly shedding of the lining of the uterus, not every other month. In most women of reproductive age, menstruation occurs approximately every 28 days, although the menstrual cycle length can vary. It is a natural part of the menstrual cycle and is associated with the release of an unfertilized egg from the ovary (ovulation). If fertilization does not occur, the thickened lining of the uterus is shed, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
