How many pints of blood do women loose on there periods? Please girls can anyone solve my question??

Question

i generally have really heavy periods and it knocks the stuffing out of me when its my time of the month. This obviously must be the amount of blood that you loose or is it? does any one know?? im 28 years old and dont know half of what i should know.Please dont laugh at me, I just thought someone could enlighten me .

Answer 1

The average blood loss during your period is less than 2 ounces of blood. If you are changing a pad or tampon in an hour or less, then this would be considered excessive bleeding and should be evaluated by your doctor.

Answer 2

It's claimed that 95% of women will not lose more than 80 ml during each menstrual cycle and that the average loss is 28-30ml(15ml = 1 tablespoon). Blood loss during a period, however, is hard to quantify and I think the first answer is a good guide. I used to suffer like you, although some months were worse than others. It took me some time to realise that my period and the accompanying lethargy, etc., was always worse if I'd experienced a particularly stressful month, either physically or emotionally, and I'm wondering if you too could relate to this? If, however, you feel that every month is the same, it's best that you visit your GP and tell him/her about the way you have been feeling. He may suggest some investigation into why you're continually experiencing heavy periods, or he may prescribe or suggest something that may relieve your symptoms. Don't be embarrassed, as a large percentage of women have problems of this kind at some point in their lives. Good luck.

Answer 3

SOMEBODY IS EITHER LYING OR LIVING IN ANOTHER WORLD. A TABLE SPOON OF BLOOD LOSS OVER A 5 DAY PERIOD? I'VE SEEN THE BLOOD LOSS AND IN ONE NIGHT SHE BLEEDS MORE THAN A TABLE SPOON. A TABLES SPOON OF BLOOD IS NOT WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN A PAD AND SOME USE A PAD AND A TAMPAX. WHY DO WOMEN TRY TO MAKE THAT TIME OF THE MONTH NORMAL WHEN IT IS CLEARLY NOT. SHE WANTS TO BE AMONG THOSE THAT ARE NOT BLEEDING AND ACT AS IF SHE IS ALRIGHT. IS THIS NORMAL? TO THE WESTERN WOMAN IT IS, BUT TO THE WOMEN THAT ARE NOT IN DENIAL IT IS A TIME NOT TO BE " OUT AND ABOUT.

Answer 4

Oh we don't lose pints of blood but generally only 2 ounces I know it seems a lot more than that but remember the blood loss is very gradual

Answer 5

The average blood loss during menstruation is 35 millilitres, but women can range from 10 ml all the way up to 80 ml.

Although, a substantial part of what you are eliminating is the lining of your uterus which appears to be blood clots, but is actually the endometrium, but can make it seem like you are losing alot more blood than you actually are. Also, to naturally prevent losing too much blood, the body retains fluid prior to your period.... which is why you feel so bloated.... so you aren't losing blood from your normal supply, you are losing the exess that your body has built up for this monthly occurance.

You should make sure you eat well to get plenty of iron during your period, and if indeed to do have a very heavy flow, taking birth control pills can help to lighten your period.

Answer 6

Mine are very heavy. They are so bad that I once had to call my sister for help because it was just pouring out and I couldn't move. she thought I'd cut my leg open. She had to get me a load of wet wipes. It was thick and sticky so was hard to clean off. I end up very tired and sleep a lot during this time.
