April 6th, 2022

Blood loss is a normal part of a woman's life. Every month, the cycle repeats itself, and you will experience blood loss. However, blood loss isn't measured. It's possible that you'll lose more blood than usual at times, or that you'll bleed less. It's also an indicator of a normal healthy body. Menstruation, also known as periods, is a natural occurrence. The menstrual cycle lasts 28-30 days, and you bleed for 3-7 days every month. The days are marked by mild pain and cramps, but for some, they can be excruciatingly painful.
A lot of women are concerned about heavy bleeding. Heavy bleeding can make it difficult to go about your daily routine. It can also cause excruciating pain, leakage, cramps, and other health issues. But how would you know whether it's heavy bleeding if you can't quantify the blood? Look for signs and symptoms that indicate whether or not there is excessive bleeding. These signs are easy to spot, and if you see them in your period blood, it’s an indication of heavy bleeding.
