Human menstruation and eicosanoids.
Menstruation is an event restricted to humans and subhuman primates and in which uterine bleeding and contractions occur. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are thought to play a major role in the normal process of menstruation as well as in the disorders menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea.
