: As Nicole explains, it means any vaginal bleeding as intense as menstrual bleeding. Cf. e.g. http://www.ambulante-gyn-op.de/untersuchungen/konisation.htm...

German term (edited):
periodenstark
normal menstrual flow/bleeding
"as much as" a usual period (not much more & not too less). Not to be confused with starke Perioden...

Nicole Schnell
: Question: What exactly is supposed to be "normal"? We need more context. IMO, the asker is talking about a bleeding that resembles the intensity of menstrual bleeding, not the menstrual bleeding itself.//Won't do for German native speakers.

Nicole - that's correct, and that's exactly what's meant - the normal refers to the amount/intensity, not the cycle itself.

| agree |
Benjamin Outram
: From doing a bit of research, I don't think any other kind of bleeding would ever be referred to as periodenstark.

Thank you, Benjamin.

Cetacea
: This is exactly what it doesn't mean. It means any kind of vaginal bleeding *as strong as menstrual bleeding", but NOT part of normal menstruation. Cf. e.g. http://www.ambulante-gyn-op.de/untersuchungen/konisation.htm...

Catacea: I agree - perhaps it's ambiguous from the way it's been phrased, but that's the reason I say "as much as".

period-like bleeding
Although more context would be helpful, the description probably refers to vaginal bleeding occurring at some other time than the menstrual period. If you enter the above expression, you will find that there are 45,000 + google hits.

Nicole's suggestion is also perfectly possible, if you want to obviate paraphrasing...

Discussion
bleeding as heavy as in a normal menstrual period
more appropriate.
It is clearly not vaginal bleeding as it says "....Blutung ex CK"
What is your opinion?
//Won't do for native German speakers?
Only text of relevance that is there is "Periodenstarke Blutung ex CK." This type of compact expressions regularly appear in medical reports written by German speakers. Or do you think it was not written by a German?
