Menstrual fluid
The average volume of menstrual fluid during a monthly menstrual period is 35 ml (1.2 US fl oz) with 10–80 ml (0.34–2.71 US fl oz) considered typical. Menstrual fluid is the correct term for the flow, although many people prefer to refer to it as "menstrual blood". Menstrual fluid is reddish-brown, a slightly darker color than venous blood.
