The alleged clinically observed association between the use of seclusion and the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle was studied in 113 consecutively admitted female psychiatric patients by means of a monitoring of oestrogen and progesterone levels, the use of seclusion, age, drug use, regularity of menses, and a history of hysterectomy. Twenty-one patients (18.6%) were in the luteal phase. During the study period, 14 patients (12.4%) had to be secluded. No significant difference in the frequency of seclusion between luteal patients and patients in the other phases could be demonstrated. The findings indicate that the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is not associated with an increased occurrence of seclusion in female psychiatric patients.

The effects of melatonin on follicular oxidative stress and art outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve: a randomized controlled trial.
J Ovarian Res

Reproductive Health Research Center, Clinical Research Institute, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran.
Background: To investigate the impact of Melatonin on follicular oxidative stress and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
Method: We put 68 women with DOR who were going through ART into a randomized controlled trial. Starting on the fifth day of their menstrual cycle, we gave them either 3 mg of Melatonin or a placebo every day before stimulating their ovaries.
Multiple physiological changes occur during the menstrual cycle; many are attributed to fluctuations in estrogen, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and progesterone. These hormones differentially affect the menstrual cycle's follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases. Skin is one of the organs affected by changes in a woman's menstrual cycle.

BMJ Sex Reprod Health
January 2025
Background: Clinical diagnosis of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is dependent on patient report of menstrual product usage of pads and tampons, but it is unknown if newer reusable menstrual products (cup and underwear) are similarly diagnostic.
Methods: We enrolled 20 regularly menstruating individuals with HMB for two menstrual cycles. Participants completed a retrospective baseline Pictorial Blood loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) at the time of enrolment (eligibility PBAC score ≥100) as well as several different measures with each study cycle.

Researchers conducted this observational study on sixty young females to detect the effect of the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle on hip muscle performance. The Biodex Isokinetic dynamometer 4 pro was used. The authors used a dependent t-test and detected a statistically significant increase in the mean values of all hip flexion and extension isokinetic parameters at angular velocities 90°/sec and 180°/sec ( < 0.
