What is Menses?

Menses literally means “a month”. In women, it is a term given to the monthly discharge of blood from the vagina.

Menses is a part of the menstrual cycle in females. The cycle is governed by many hormonal changes which prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

It lasts for 28 days. On the 14th day of the cycle, one of the ovaries release an ovum. If fertilized, this ovum gets implanted in the uterine bed and pregnancy begins. In the absence of fertilization, the ovum along with some uterine muscles is shed from the vagina. The flow consists of blood mixed with clots and is dark to bright red in color.

Since, the ultimate goal of every human being on earth is reproduction, a healthy menstrual cycle is important to maintain a healthy reproductive system.

For a fertile women, missing a period could be due to pregnancy, heavy exercises or severe malnutrition.

Excessive Bleeding during Periods

If you are changing tampons or sanitary pads every hour or more frequently than you normally do, it is a sign that you may be bleeding abnormally.

Excessive bleeding during periods may occur due to uterine fibroids, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, birth control pills, cancer and blood clotting disorders

Bleeding in Between Periods

Though a rare occurrence, bleeding from the vagina in between the normal menstrual periods may occur due to an early menses. It may also occur due to some outgrowths from the uterus or the cervix.
