Do you know how much blood we lose during the cycle?

It is almost impossible to make a fixed account, but have you ever wondered how much blood you lose during periods? 

According to experiments, a tampon generally holds 6 to 9 milliliters of blood, but not always every time you change the tampon is full. To answer such a question, gynecologists say that the average blood loss a woman loses during periods is less than 80 ml, or otherwise more than 5 teaspoons. As for memory, on average periods last from 2 to 7 days.

Women who have been bleeding for more than 7 days may lose even more than 80 ml of blood during the cycle. In conditions such as heavy and prolonged bleeding for more than 7 days we may be dealing with Menorrhagia. The main signs of this regular but prolonged cycle are the frequent change of lines and tampons (every 1 or 2 hours) and the excessive bleeding you notice every time you change. 

According to gynecologists, menorrhagia can be a cause for possible anemia, so it should not be neglected. If you have low iron, feel weak, have difficulty breathing, are pale or feel powerless to exercise, it is best to consult a doctor.
