Expanding the article to talk about menstruation experienced by men
editHi,
I think this article doesn't talk about menstruation experienced by men. Can you please expand the article with more information about it? 188.142.192.136 (talk) 21:36, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
- I'd also like to see this change made; More gender-neutral language, also calling menstrual products just that as opposed to feminine hygiene products. AcidicRhythmist (talk) 04:19, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Menstrual blood also contains multi-potent mesenchymal-like stem cells. As well as blood, the fluid consists of cervical mucus, vaginal secretions, and endometrial tissue. |
I think the sentence above should be added because it reflects new research and updates our understanding of menstrual fluid.

- It would seem the IP did give two RS? That said, I have not verified the claim and I also do not know if the way it has been written is something I'd endorse. I also don't know how relevant or important this is to add here.
