Where does a woman's menstrual blood come from?

Maybe female friends don’t have a deep understanding of menstrual blood. In fact, menstrual blood is some shed subfunctional membranes and some liquid debris secreted internally. Generally, menstrual blood is darker in color and flows out of the vagina. For more detailed information, please see below.

Menstrual blood is a mixture of blood and some shed endometrial lining, cervical mucus and vaginal secretions. The color of menstrual blood is dark, slightly sticky, and not easy to coagulate into blood clots. If you look closely, you will see small and thin fragments. Sometimes blood clots or black blood appear.

Basic Introduction

Menstrual blood is different from normal blood, but there are still similarities between menstrual blood and normal blood. Therefore, girls should not think that menstrual blood is dirty and deal with it casually. Instead, they should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation to avoid harming their bodies.

The amount of menstrual blood at menarche varies. After menstruation becomes regular, the total volume of each menstrual period is generally 50 to 60 ml.

Normal traffic

Normal flow: In the early stages of your period, a heavier flow is normal and you may need to use a high-absorbency sanitary napkin or tampon. The flow should gradually taper off over the next few days. Women who take birth control pills generally have less flow because the endometrium becomes thinner and the bleeding caused by shedding is reduced. The average woman will experience one or two months of drastic increase in flow in a year. This is because you did not ovulate on time that month. If a woman misses ovulation in a certain month, the estrogen in the body will be over-secreted, causing the endometrium to thicken and increase menstrual bleeding. This is a normal phenomenon.

Many women are concerned about the color and viscosity of menstrual blood. These issues vary from person to person. From bright red to dull brown are all within the normal range. Blood will coagulate before being discharged, so it is normal to have clots in menstrual blood.
