Under normal circumstances, the amount of menstruation that women have is between 5 and 80 ml per period; on average, it is about 5 to 30 ml. As long as a woman's menstrual flow is within this range, it is considered normal. It is an abnormal condition if the menstrual volume is less than 5ml or more than 80ml. Especially if the menstruation is normal and suddenly there is a lot of flow at a particular time, it is very abnormal.
