When the uterine lining sheds this is typically called menstruation. Although women on hormonal birth control will experience a faux period in the form of a withdrawal bleed.
Menstruation
menstruation
The process is called menstruation.The uterus lining sheds when the egg wasn't fertilized and has to be deposited through the vagina.The purpose/function of the uterus is to protect the period of fertilisation of the ovum.Uterus lining sheds only when egg is not fertilized.Uterus lining remains thickened when the egg is fertilised(woman is pregnant).The process by which the uterus sheds its lining is known as menstruation. Menstruation occurs in females from the onset of puberty until the menopause.
The flow of blood and tissue cells from the uterus is called menstruation. During menstruation, the lining of the uterus sheds and is expelled through the vagina. This process is accompanied by the flow of blood, which is a mix of tissue cells, uterine lining, and blood from the ruptured blood vessels in the uterus.
This process is called menstruation, and it occurs monthly in females of reproductive age. The shedding of the egg cell, uterine lining, and blood typically lasts for a few days and is a normal part of the menstrual cycle.
The thickness of the lining of the uterus decreases between day one and day five of the menstrual cycle primarily due to the shedding of the endometrial tissue during menstruation. This process is triggered by a drop in hormone levels, particularly progesterone, which leads to the breakdown and expulsion of the uterine lining. As menstruation progresses, the lining is sloughed off, resulting in a thinner endometrium by day five. After this phase, hormone levels begin to rise again, preparing the uterus for potential implantation in the following cycle.

A blood clot is a clump of blood that forms in a blood vessel, while shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation is the natural process of the uterus releasing its lining.
