A member asked:
How much blood normally comes out during a normal menstral cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 1 ounce: The typical menstrual fluid volume is between 10 and 80 milliliters or about 1-6 tablespoons with 35 ml. being average. A typical tampon or normal pad holds about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of blood when soaked, so a typical period would require about 7 tampons or pads.
