Find out about common parasites and how to protect your pet. Several different types of parasites can make cats and dogs their home. From biting insects like fleas and ticks to internal worms, all of these pests are unpleasant, dangerous, and can cause serious complications.
Although it can feel like a lot more at times, the total amount of blood lost during one period is usually about 60 milliliters (about 2.7 ounces). That's about a third of a small plastic cup. At that rate of bleeding, it takes about 4 hours for a regular tampon or pad to become fully soaked. That is just an average, though: menstrual flow is usually heavier on some days than on others. Doctors consider a woman to have menorrhagia if she regularly loses more than 80 ml of blood during one menstrual period.
A menstrual period or cycle is counted from the first day of bleeding in one month to the first day of bleeding in the next month, or whenever you get your next period. The average amount of days you bleed is two to seven days. So, basically, it really is different for everyone.
