Menstruation
Menstruation is the routine discharge, or release, of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus. This process occurs about once a month from the time a female reaches puberty until menopause. During pregnancy, the monthly menstrual cycle is absent while the womb nourishes the growing fetus.

When a women has done menstruation why doesn't water come out?
I'm not sure why you think water should come out. Menstruation occurs when a woman does not fall pregnant and the uterine lining sheds, once that is complete the menstrual cycle continues. There's no reason for water to come out of a woman following menstruation.

answer
ovulation bleeding or implantation bleeding
Not necessarily. Sometimes stress or other underlying issues can cause you to miss a period. You should take a pregnancy test to be sure. If it comes up negative, wait a while and see if you get your period next month. If you do not get your period the following month, or if the pregnancy test comes up positive then you should go see an OB-GYN.

What do you do to during you period when you can't use tampons when you have to go swimming?
To swim during your period you should use internal sanitary products;
- Tampons
- Soft tampons
- Sponges
- Diaphragms
- Softcups
- Menstrual cups
Menstrual cups are the best option as they're safer and more hygeinic than tampons so pose no risks like TSS, infections or dioxin - thus they can be worn for 12 hours and with any flow so more convneient than tampons. For swimming as well as the advantage of being able to use during even light flow, cups also don't increase cramps or absorb water as tampons can, nothing shows outside the body, and they don't leak like tampons.
If you can't use internal sanitary products at all...
It's best not to swim - there's no situation where you have to swim, even something like a swimming exam can be re-scheduled if you're menstruating, it would be considered sexual discrimination if you were not allowed to re-schedule due to menstruation.
With very light flow you may be able to swim...
Menstrual flow doesn't stop in the water, this is a myth, however what little flow leaves the body will be diluted by the water so may go unnoticed* however heavier flow may be noticed especially if there is uterus lining along with blood, and especially as you get out of the pool.
* Menstrual flow is no more dirty or unhygienic than any other vaginal fluid, such as discharge, which can get in the pool any other time you swim. Pools are kept clean with filtration and chemicals to protect other swimmers, the concern during menstruation then is not with hygiene but with comfort for you and other swimmers...no one wants to swim through your menstrual blood, and I'm sure you don't want that to happen either.
Can a woman not ovulate and still get their period?
Generally speaking, if there is no ovulation, there is no period. The hormones that are present during ovulation are the cause of menstruation. If this condition lasts longer than one-to-two monthly cycles, it may be caused by hormonal changes. Seek the advice of your medical professional or primary care physician if you are continually concerned over the course of the next month or so. Make an appointment, keep the appointment, and discuss your concerns with your physician. This answer is provided by a healthcare professional, and not an M.D. This answer does not take the place of a doctor's advice.
Is it ok to wear a pad before starting your period?
You can wear whatever you want on your period, as long as the products you're using stop you from leaking there's no reason not to wear white shorts. Just make sure you're using correct absorbency, don't use super absorbency tampons if your flow isn't heavy enough to use such a high absorbency. You may want to try menstrual cups instead as these won't leak like tampons do.
If you use a tampon can sharks smell your blood during your period while you are at the beach?
Sharks aren't likely to be somewhere that you're swimming, but they can smell even the smallest trace of blood in the water. Sharks are unlikely to come and kill you if you go swimming on your period using tampons. This is largely a moot point, just don't go swimming with sharks.
Have bad cramps during your period what can you do?
Certain things can make cramps less noticeable. Try an over-the-counter pain killer or medicine. This usually helps for the most part. Easting a healthy diet can also prevent some cramps in the future. If your period is regular, you can take a pain medicine a day or so before your period begins to try and minimize or stop cramps before they even happen. If it is so severe that it is affecting your every-day life, talk with your doctor. There may be a reason behind this. If not, your doctor could possibly prescribe you a stronger pain killer to help ease the pain. Going on birth control (like the Pill) can also help to ease some of the side effetcs, like cramping.
When i had really bad cramps i read somewhere that soaking in a warm bath might ease the cramps down. i tried it and it actually worked!! I suggest it to anyone who has cramps especially bad cramps.
What causes light bleeding during period with dark brownish red colour?
Dark, brown menstruation may be a sign that it is 'old' blood. Sometimes blood stays in the uterus for a few days before your period 'starts'...it could be because it is a light flow or that the cervical opening is very narrow making it difficult for the blood to exit. Light flows and dark blood could also occur because of dehydration.
Could an egg be released on the last days of your period?
Not likely. There is about a 24-48 hour window when a woman is fertile and the egg(s) is released, usually midway through the cycle. (The cervical fluid can keep sperm alive for up to FIVE days tho.. !) The Lutal phase of a womans' cycle is about 10-14 days, but 18 days past ovulation is usually the time to test for pregnancy. If you are having pain in the ovary area just before your period, there may be cause to look for a Corpus Leutum Cyst. It is a small cycst where the egg was released, usually filled with water. They generally go away on their own, but if causing great pain, please see your health care provider.
What is the percent probability to have menstruation during pregnancy?
The percentage of women getting pregnant during menstruation is exactly 0% - it's biologically impossible to get pregnant during menstruation as there is no egg present for sperm to fertilise. It is however possible to get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation as although there is no egg it is possible for a woman to have fertile quality cervical mucus present, this can allow sperm to live for up to a week and by that time she may have ovulated. There are no figures on how many women get pregnant this way, it would be impossible to keep track of those sort of figures.
If you haven't had your period in 46 days what is wrong?
One of two things. (1) you're pregnant. (2) you have a condition known as amenorhea. This condition can be found in female atheletes, anorexics, or other abnormal female body conditions. See your doctor.

Is it normal to have a period after 1 year and 2 weeks without having had one?
We learned about this in my medical classess junior year, a girl in my class actually had it.
Amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual bleeding and may be primary or secondary.
- Primary amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual bleeding and secondary sexual characteristics (for example, breast development and pubic hair) in a girl by age 14 years or the absence of menstrual bleeding with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics in a girl by age 16 years.
- Secondary amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual bleeding in a woman who had been menstruating but later stops menstruating for 3 or more months in the absence of pregnancy, lactation (the ability to breastfeed), cycle suppression with systemic hormonal contraceptive (birth control) pills, or menopause.
It's something to do with your endocrine system, I'd go to my ob/gyn or family doctor. I'm guessing you have secondary.
How do you go in the pool on your period without using a tampon?
