PeriodVol is a privacy-first period tracker that estimates how much you actually bleed — in millilitres — each day and across your whole cycle, and flags the clinical 80 ml heavy-bleeding threshold.
Open PeriodVolMost period apps only record dates. PeriodVol estimates your flow volume in millilitres, because how much you bleed is what actually matters for spotting heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and understanding your body.
How much you bleed is a window into your health — yet most people never measure it. A normal period is about 30–80 ml of blood per cycle (roughly 2–5 tablespoons). Tracking the volume helps you notice changes early and gives your doctor real numbers instead of a guess.
PeriodVol isn't a diagnosis — it helps you spot when something has changed so you can talk to a healthcare professional. If your volume is consistently over 80 ml, changes suddenly, or comes with severe pain or signs of anemia, see a doctor.
A typical period is about 30–40 ml of blood over the cycle, and up to 80 ml is considered normal. More than 80 ml per cycle is defined as heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Other signs of heavy bleeding include soaking a pad or tampon every two hours or less, passing large clots, or bleeding for more than seven days. PeriodVol is not a medical device — if your volume is high or something feels off, talk to a healthcare professional.
A menstrual cup is the most accurate way to measure, because you read the volume directly from its markings. With pads and tampons you can only estimate — as a guide, a fully soaked regular pad or tampon holds about 5 ml (a teaspoon), and a soaked overnight pad about 10–15 ml. PeriodVol turns your product logs into an estimated millilitre total automatically.
About 30–40 ml over the whole cycle is typical, and up to 80 ml is normal. More than 80 ml per cycle is heavy menstrual bleeding.
More than 80 ml of blood loss in one cycle — or soaking a product every ≤2 hours, large clots, night changes, or bleeding over 7 days. PeriodVol flags when a cycle passes 80 ml.
A menstrual cup is the most accurate (read the markings). With pads/tampons, PeriodVol estimates the volume from the product and how soaked it is.
A fully soaked regular pad or tampon holds roughly 5 ml (a teaspoon); a soaked overnight pad about 10–15 ml. ~16 soaked normal products in a cycle ≈ the 80 ml threshold.

How much you bleed can signal your health. Consistently heavy periods (over 80 ml) can cause iron-deficiency anemia and may point to conditions like fibroids or adenomyosis; very light or sudden changes can be linked to hormonal issues. Tracking it lets you catch changes early and see a doctor with real numbers.
Heavy menstrual bleeding (over 80 ml per cycle) can lead to anemia and fatigue and can be a sign of uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or changes in the uterine lining. Soaking a pad or tampon every 1–2 hours, overnight changes, or large clots are worth discussing with a doctor.
