Overt Menstruation

Is there any good reason why homo sapiens do it? Some primates reabsorb most of endometrium. Why don't we?

It's a serious question.

If I have to put up with this then at least I should know why.

The inconvenience of managing the whole mess created an entire science that has yet to produce adequate products.

What did primitive women do, spend one week out of every month squatting and waiting?

At least we have an outlet to rid ourselves of excess sin--unlike men who become increasingly constipated with theirs. :coffee:

Apparantly they stuffed shredded plant material into their vaginas.

Just like we do.

I really want to know if there is a biological reason why we have overt menstruation.

There was a reusable cup, might still be available. I liked it. I guess I was the only one who did like it because I haven't seen them in years.

Don't animals reabsorb foetusus instead of miscarrying too..? I believe dogs do at least.. I haven't bothered reading up on this for some reason despite finding it interesting.

Edit: Found it, try googling 'fetal resorption'.

Are there other animals with overt menstruation?
