menstrual extraction

Menstrual extraction is a medical procedure used to remove menstrual fluid from the uterus during a woman's period, often performed using a suction device. It can be done for various reasons, including to relieve heavy bleeding or to investigate potential medical issues. The procedure is typically safe and can be performed in a clinic or doctor's office. It's a distinct procedure from an abortion, as it pertains specifically to the menstrual cycle rather than pregnancy termination. Menstrual extraction is not widely discussed but is an option in reproductive healthcare settings.
