According to survey statistics, a woman’s bleeding volume during each menstrual period is about 75 milliliters. Calculated based on a 30-year menstrual period, the total bleeding volume of a woman is about 27,000 milliliters (excluding childbirth bleeding), which is equivalent to the entire blood volume in the body of 5.5 people weighing 60 kilograms.
