When Clooney/Crowe/Diesel gain fat, I've never heard anyone say "Oh, that's better! I hope they don't go back to looking like they did before!"
Well, I said that about Christian Bale.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When was Bale fat?

maybe the menstrual blood just gets absorbed into the body in the abdominal cavity? Isn't that what happens in endometriosis?

ita, I think Sophia might be right about the body absorbing the blood. Her link says:
Since the ovaries produce the normal hormones that cause girls to go through puberty, most girls have breast and pubic hair by this time. Usually what brings girls to their doctor is the fact that they have not had their period yet.
The most interesting thing about the link is that it sounds like the nonsurgical treatment is, basically, masturbating with a dildo every day. But I wonder how that makes the canal deep enough to reach the cervix, without surgery.

I want my body to reabsorb the uterine lining.
Why would it do that? Just because it never gets out?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Why would it do that?
Because if it didn't, you might end up with internal gangrene, and die. Right? (I am only guessing, but it seems plausible.)

If I only had a brain...
I believe that the difficulty in reabsorbing the lining is part of the reason that endometriosis hurts like hell.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Raise your hand if you never want to hear the phrase "internal gangrene" ever ever again.

I assume that if it didn't, you'd be fucked. So to speak. But lots of congenital deformities result in something damaging or fatal. What tells the body to cope with this one, and how does it actually manage it.

Maybe it's like a bruise or blood blister, or a fluid blister, or even a pimple -- if something is in your body and shouldn't be there, and there's no other way for it to escape (and you don't mess with it and create one, like I always do), eventually the body will just heal and absorb whatever it is.
Does that make any medical sense whatsoever?
