All placental mammals (as opposed to marsupials) have a menstrual cycle of sorts. The menstrual flow is not to remove unfertilized eggs, however, it is to remove the lining of the uterus which has been prepared for implantation of a fertilized egg or zygote. It is this lining (the endometrium) that provides the tissue for attachment of the placenta and the nutrients for the developing embryo/fetus. If an egg is fertilized the endometrium is not sloughed off and there is no menstruation.
it is called estrous cycle

'Going into heat' is a term that everyone understands when refering to animals.
But you can also use 'Menstural Cycle'. It isn't just a human term.

The correct term for animals referring to their female reproductive cycle is oestrus.
Menstural cycle = oestrus cycle
