Heavy bleeding in menstruation. Illustration of a uterus (upper centre) during heavy bleeding in menstruation, a condition known as menorrhagia. Blood is seen emerging from the uterus through the cervix (lower centre), with red blood cells and cellular debris seen in magnified view at bottom. Also shown are the fallopian tubes (upper left and right) and ovaries (round, white). Menstruation is where the blood-rich uterine lining is shed if ovulation fails to lead to implantation of a fertilised egg cell in the uterus.
