How many days of menstruation are considered normal?

Menstruation is a physiological reaction of women. Menstruation also shows that women are healthy, so it is very important for women to observe menstruation. The time of menstruation for each woman is different because the menstrual cycle is also different. Some women have a longer menstrual period, but some women have a short menstrual period. So how many days of menstruation is normal? This is a question in the minds of many female friends, so let's take a look at it below:

Under normal circumstances, menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days, and in some cases it lasts for 3 to 5 days. If a menstrual period lasts longer than 7 days, it is called a prolonged period. The amount of menstrual bleeding is about 30-50 ml.

The main reasons for prolonged menstruation include:

1. Blood diseases;

2. Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, endometritis, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation; 3. Chronic uterine hypertrophy (uterine myositis);

4. Uterine fibroids;

5. Uterine dysfunction bleeding;

6. Endometriosis;

7. Insertion of an IUD can also easily cause prolonged menstruation. After the bleeding stops, six sex hormone tests and B-ultrasound should be performed to find out the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment. Use hemostatic drugs when necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during menstruation. If the amount is very small on the 8th day, there is no problem. Just pay attention to rest and keep warm during the menstrual period. The menstrual cycle is regular, there is normal sexual life, no effective contraceptive measures are taken, no effective contraceptive measures are taken, menstruation is delayed, and there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is normal for menstruation to be delayed by about a week. If it exceeds ten days, it is mostly considered to be a prolonged menstrual period, which may be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and intrauterine contraceptive devices.

The above is about how long the menstrual period is considered normal. Based on these related contents, let us women have a better understanding of the normal duration of menstruation, so that when our menstruation is within the normal range, we will not worry. If the menstruation is too long, then we must pay attention to it. If it exceeds seven days, we must go to the hospital for a timely check-up. Only when the menstruation returns to normal will our body be healthier.
