This review article examines factors affecting normal variations in menstrual flow, methods used to estimate vaginal blood loss, menstrual health problems related to hygiene practices, and methods of assessing tampon absorbancy. Preliminary studies from this laboratory suggest that normal, cycling women exhibit menstrual flow rates that are significantly higher during the day than at night; also that menstrual blood has a more acid pH than previously reported, and that it demonstrates unique biological properties unlike peripheral venous blood. Women in wheelchairs may be at special risk for the development of menstrual health problems because of difficulties with hygiene management as evidenced by results of a study of 22 women with traumatic spinal cord injuries.
这篇综述文章探讨了影响月经流量正常变化的因素、用于估计阴道失血量的方法、与卫生习惯相关的月经健康问题以及评估 tampon 吸收性的方法。本实验室的初步研究表明，正常的月经周期女性白天的月经流量率明显高于夜间；月经血的 pH 值也比之前报道的更酸，并且它具有与外周静脉血不同的独特生物学特性。由于卫生管理困难，轮椅使用者可能特别容易出现月经健康问题，一项对 22 名创伤性脊髓损伤女性的研究结果证明了这一点。
