What is menstrual flow?
The menstrual flow is the monthly blood discharge in women of childbearing age.
It usually lasts 3 to 7 days and marks the beginning of a new menstrual cycle.
Composed of blood, uterine tissues, and vaginal secretions, the average volume is 30 to 80 ml per cycle.
This natural phenomenon is an indicator of reproductive health and can vary in intensity from one person to another.
