Two physiologic studies of menstrual blood loss in Egyptian women are presented below. In the first, an attempt was made to establish the normal range of menstrual blood loss of Egyptian women, to test their individual consistency in the amount of menstrual blood loss and to determine the iron requirements needed to compensate for iron loss and prevent iron deficiency anemia in menstruating Egyptian women. In the second, physiologic and other variables affecting the magnitude of menstrual blood loss in Egyptian women were investigated.
