menstrual fluid

Monthly bodily secretion

Menstrual fluid is the mixture of blood, tissue, and mucus discharged from the uterus during menstruation.

It differs from pure blood, containing uterine lining cells and vaginal secretions alongside the bleeding.

The term appears in medical and educational contexts where precision matters: Menstrual fluid typically totals two to three tablespoons per cycle.
