Can you hemorrhage during your period and bleed to death?
Yes, it's possible to hemorrhage and bleed to death during menstruation, but it's very unlilely as if a woman experiences excessively heavy flow she would go to her doctor or hospital who would be able to prevent this from happening.
It's also interesting to note that during the TSS outbreaks in the 1970's and 1980's due to tampons like Rely, many women also experienced vaginal hemorrhage - the fibres in these tampons were very rough so caused tearing in the vaginal walls, causing hemorrhage. For some reason this effect wasn't covered like TSS was, but this was very common with these types of tampon.

No. Not at all.

Okay, so I'm not sure if this is normal or not..Let me fill you in..
- I'm 14
- I started when I was around 13
- I got really bad stomach pains (kind of like I was being repeatedly punched in the stomach) around the time of when I started, and the stomach pains weren't always when I was on my period
- I've been to the doctors for stomach pains and they thought it was just too much stomach acid
- When I'm on my period I wake up in the morning and I have to rush to the bathroom as soon as I stand up because (I don't know why or if this is normal) the blood just starts rushing out (and for some reason it doesn't come out all night)
- It has lumps of blood coming out every time and I know that it's normal to have small lumps here and there but these are really..big..
Like I said, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but do the stomach problems tie in? It's really confusing me.. ~ Kittenmaster101
