Menstruation.


*Sorry for the gross picture*



Question :
Why don't girls die when they lose so much blood on their period?


Answer :
Because girls are great! xD


Answer from Google :
The blood that is lost when a period happens is "extra" blood. It is created when ovulation happens to provide an environment for the newly fertilized ovum. When it is not fertilized the blood is not needed and that is what a period is doing. Getting rid of the blood that is no longer needed. This happens each month in a monthly 28 day cycle on/around day 14.


-- further --
The question mentions "so much" - but there is only very rarely loss of more than 500 ml. This is approximately how much is taken in a blood donation - and is not life-threatening =.=|||







Make it stops. Damn.
