These changes can be considered as the effect of estrogen hormone, that is predominant during this phase.

|3. ||Secretory/luteal /post ovulatory phase (ritavateeta kala)||17th -28th day ||The cervix (yoni) do not promote the entry of sperms (shukra) into the uterus. The cervical mucus becomes hostile to the sperms due to the influence of progesterone.||The hot (agneya) nature of artava is more evident in this phase and there is predominance of [[pitta]] [[dosha]].

The glandular and vascular changes in the endometrium, and the thermogenic effect of progesterone during this phase may be considered in this context.

Gonadotropins FSH*/LH** Low FSH LH

*Follicle Stimulating Hormone **Luteinizing Hormone

==Importance in preservation of health and prevention ==

Menstruation is an important physiological event in lifecycle of a female. Female reproductive health and health of progeny significantly depends upon normal menstruation. A specific diet and lifestyle regimen (rajaswala charya) are prescribed during menstrual phase to preserve and maintain health.
