How do we know that we lose a lot of blood during menstruation?
Most women lose about 2-3 tablespoons of blood during their cycle; During a heavy period, in case of heavy bleeding, the blood loss is twice as much.
You are losing too much blood if you notice the following signs:
- You have to change tampons or diapers even at bedtime;
- To avoid leakage on the underwear, put 2 diapers at the same time;
- large blood clots;
- The pad or tampon will soon become soaked with blood.
If you feel that you are losing a lot of blood with each cycle and this is limiting your active lifestyle, or if you notice any unusual changes in your period, consult your gynecologist.
Call an emergency if you are losing a lot of blood from your vagina or have any of the following symptoms along with the bleeding:
- pale or clammy skin;
- accelerated heartbeat;
- nausea;
- dizziness;
- blurred vision;
- feeling of heart failure;
- sweat around the vagina.
