Why do girls bleed from there butts?
If you are referring to menstruation, they do not bleed from their 'butts'. The blood is the thickened lining of the uterus detaching and falling out. This happens once every month if the woman does not become pregnant as the Uterus lining grows to give a resting place for a fertilised egg to become a foetus and then a baby. If the egg is not fertilised by sperm following sex, the lining of the Uterus is not needed and is rejected by the body.
Why does the uterus lining change in thickness during the menstrual cycle?
The uterus lining changes in thickness during the menstrual cycle in response to hormonal levels. In the first half of the cycle, estrogen causes the lining to thicken in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, estrogen levels drop and the lining sheds during menstruation.

Why do womens have period?
Each month, from the age of about 12, a woman releases one egg each month. If this egg is fertilised by sperm during sex, a baby is made. If it isn't fertilised, it starts to break down and the body needs to get rid of it. Also, during the month, the lining of the woman's uterus/womb starts to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised it will be able to implant into the lining and grow. If the egg is not fertilised, the body also needs to get rid of this built-up lining. So, once the egg has been released, and not fertilised it will start to break down and the remains leave the uterus through the cervix and out of the vagina. As the lining of the uterus starts to break down and detach, blood vessels are ruptured and this is where the blood comes from.
What is happening inside of you when you are having your period?
