Studying menstrual cycle by using mathematical model

Abstract

Menstrual cycle can occur in fertile women. It is the scientific term for the physiological changes in human. It is under controlling of the endocrine system that is necessary for reproduction. It is commonly divided into three phases: the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Activin enhances Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) biosynthesis and secretion. It participates in the regulation of menstrual cycle. In this study, we analyze a mathematical model of the human menstrual cycle. The equilibrium point of the model and its stability are shown. Numerical solutions are shown to support the theoretical predictions. © 2014 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.
