I know I'm a guy, but I feel bad for women and having to have a period every month. I know it is a sign of womanhood, but it seems menses is a bit aggravating. Anyway, how much blood on average is lost? What about ladies with hemophilia?

For most girls an entire period consists of anywhere from a few spoonfuls to less than 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) of blood — it just looks like a lot! It is possible for a girl to lose an excessive amount of blood during her period, but it's not at all common. (In some cases, a girl can bleed too much because she has a medical condition — such as von Willebrand disease.) The amount of blood a girl loses and how long her period lasts can differ from month to month.
And thanks for being so sympathetic towards us girls! You're a sweetie :)

Women are only carriers of hemophelia, men are the ones who suffer the disease. Normal women lose a few teaspoons of blood each month. If a woman loses singnificantly more than that, she should see her GYN about it.
You are right, menses can be very aggravating. Science is helping women out there, so we can now choose to take a medicine which limits the annual menses to 4. If your friends are suffering, send them to the doctor, and then, if the doctor says all is medically fine, to the health food store. There are herbal formulas that help.

The duration of hemorrhage is between 3 to 5 days and the amount of blood lost has been estimated to be between 50- 200 ml.
