How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or clinical contexts when discussing reproductive health or tracking cycles. In casual daily conversation, people often use the more direct term 月事 or simply refer to the period itself as 嚟M. Using the full term 月經週期 implies a more analytical or medical focus rather than just describing the occurrence of bleeding.
Examples
Do you know how long your menstrual cycle is?
I've been under a lot of stress lately, which has messed up my menstrual cycle.
