Do vampires bleed?

[CheertheSecond]

Because if they are, they can menstruate.

Vampires are a kind of undead, they're living corpses, so they don't really have a functional reproductive system anymore.

Depends on the lore.
Some vampires are living.

I'm talking about the original lore. There has been more versions throughout the history, but originally, vampires are undead.

Do vampires bleed?

if Yes;

That is a false equivalence.

A lot of animals bleed but do not menstruate.

98% of all mammalian species do not menstruate

I want to believe that my 'can' is a statement of probability and not assured certainty

I have an encyclopaedia on vampires and from my readings so far, none have talked about bleeding or menstruating. But that's not to say it's not out there. There is a lot of lore/superstitions about vampires across the world, there is a possibility. ?‍

That depends on the specific flavor of the myths and how recently the vampire was turned. Generally true but sometimes they produce a dhampyre, a half-human, half-vampire creature. Sometimes this happens because the woman was turned while pregnant, but usually it happens after turning. Is still very rare even in the lore that allows it.

"original lore" - the Greek? Slavic? Chinese? Heck, there are even variations of vampires in Australian and a few Native American loresets. And some undead creatures that share traits with vampires but are not like anything Hollywood has ever shown (like a Russian one that is a mindless killing machine - it just finds a victim, literally breaks them in half, then laps the blood up as it pours out).
