What's the difference between catamenial and menses?
Catamenial
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the catamenia, or menstrual discharges.
Example Sentences:

(2) A case of recurrent bilateral catamenial pneumothorax is presented with pathologic, cytologic, and radiologic documentation.

(5) In the setting of catamenial epilepsy or reproductive endocrine disorders, progestins, such as natural progesterone and parenteral medroxyprogesterone, or antiestrogenic agents, such as clomiphene, constitute rational and effective adjuncts to therapy.
(6) Hormonal therapy may be appropriate adjunctive anticonvulsant treatment, particularly for women with seizures that are catamenial or associated with a menstrual or reproductive endocrine disorder.

(12) Changes in seizures during the menstrual cycle (catamenial epilepsy) have been found in some women: seizures were fewer during the luteal phase but increased when progesterone levels declined.
(13) The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of polyacrylate rayon tampons and cotton-viscose rayon blend tampons on the qualitative bacterial counts obtained from tampons and concomitant vaginal swabs and to determine whether either of these tampon types alters the qualitative makeup of the vaginal microflora when compared with the microflora in the same women using all-cotton tampons or external catamenial pads.

Menses
Definition:
(n. pl.) The catamenial or menstrual discharge, a periodic flow of blood or bloody fluid from the uterus or female generative organs.
