Z30.3: Menstrual extraction
Your period was artificially induced.
This lining of the uterus thickens at the start of each normal menstrual cycle. It is then expelled when you have your period. This process is controlled by various sex hormones.
Drugs can be used to trigger a period independently of the body's own hormones. This can serve to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
