What are menstruations?
A period, or menstruation, is the shedding of the endometrium - the uterine lining. Menstruation is also known as menses. All female humans, as well as some other female mammals, have regular periods during their reproductive age. Menstruation which includes bleeding from the vagina is found mainly among humans and similar animals, such as primates. In many mammals, the endometrium is reabsorbed by the animal. As far as humans are concerned a period is a bleed from the womb (uterus) that is released through the vagina. Women have a period every 28 days approximately. However, some women may have a 24-day cycle while other may have a 35-day one. A period is part of the woman's menstrual cycle. The word "menses" comes from the Latin menses meaning "months". The word "menstruation" comes from Old French menstrual, which comes from Latinmenstrualis, meaning "monthly," especially "of or having monthly courses."Medilexicon's medical dictionary describes menstruation as the "cyclic endometrial shedding and discharge of a bloody fluid from the uterus during the menstrual cycle of humans and primates".

How many pints of blood in a woman?
PINTS?! I should hope that no one bleeds that much during menstruation. I myself can bleed up to 350ml per cycle and my periods are considered abnormally heavy. If a woman was losing pints of blood during menstruation she has serious health problems and needs to go to hospital!The average blood loss is around 35ml - anything over 80ml is considered heavy. Although my professional opinion is that this is false, many women measure their menstrual flow using menstrual cups and most will loose well over 80ml per cycle while not considering their flow heavy.

Is it normal to hate your period?
It's not normal to hate your period, but it is common. In our culture women are taught to think of menstruation only in negative terms - embarrassing, shameful, dirty, gross, smelly, inconvenient - and to ignore the many benefits of menstruation or how menstruation fits in with our wider cycles. Because women don't understand menstruation and feel uncomfortable discussing the subject it means that they are less likely to learn about menstruation in order to learn about benefits or how to manage problems like menstrual cramps. Furthermore women are taught that pain and inconvenience is to be expected during menstruation, and that women are slaves to hormones during menstruation or moody and irrational. It's no wonder women hate menstruation when that's all they're taught. A change in attitude can change all that.
