Every month or about that extra tissue grows inside your body to prepare for that when your body doesn't need that. It gets rid of it like a dog shedding its coat when it don't need it's winter coat it gets rid of it. Basically the same reason our body doesn't need it at that time so it gets rid of it. But unlike an animals fur coat. The tissue that was growing inside of us is part of us so when we shed it there's a little blood.
Don't worry I know it might be scary but to be honest most of what you see is not blood it's the tissue our body is constantly making blood so we can stand to lose a little bit of it during this process.
