Meaning of "oestruation" in English

The term "oestruation" is a variant of "estruation," which refers to the physiological, cyclical changes that occur in the reproductive systems of many female mammals. This term is more commonly known as "estrus" or "heat," where the female is temporarily receptive to mating. This period is characterized by hormonal fluctuations that signal the body’s readiness for potential conception. Oestruation notably causes behavioral changes, often making females more attractive to males, which is crucial for breeding in animal populations.

Meaning of "oestruation" in French

In French, "oestruation" corresponds to the biological reproductive cycle known as "œstrus" in female animals. The term refers to the phase within the cycle when the female is, for a short duration, receptive to mating, which is triggered by hormonal changes. The word encapsulates a natural reproductive mechanism found across various species and ensures the continuation of genetic lineage through successful mating. In French contexts, it is crucial to distinguish this term from similar human reproductive terms.
