Menstruation is one of the phases of the menstrual cycle, whereas the menstrual cycle is the entire reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle an egg is released and to prepare for possible pregnancy the uterus lining plumps-up, if pregnancy doesn't occur the uterus lining sheds (menstruation) so it can start afresh again next cycle.
