Eumenorrhea

/ˌjuːmənɔːˈriːə/ noun

Definition

Normal, regular menstrual flow and cycle without pain, irregularity, or excessive bleeding.

Etymology

From Greek 'eu' (good/normal) + 'meno' (month) + 'rhea' (flow), essentially a medical term for textbook-perfect menstruation used as a standard of health.

Kelly Says

Eumenorrhea is the medical term for the ideal menstrual cycle—and defining this standard was actually crucial for women's health because it gave doctors a baseline to compare against when something seemed wrong.
