Irregular Menstruation ICD 10: A layer of muscle and a mucous membrane lining (also known as the mucosal lining) make up the majority of the uterus. The mucosal lining grows larger over time and receives a healthy blood supply. A significant portion of the mucosal lining is removed and replaced if an egg is not fertilized.
When the mucosal lining sheds, menstrual bleeding begins. The vagina is attached to the uterus. The mucosal lining and some blood are expelled via the vagina to the exterior of the body during menstrual bleeding.
