How to determine whether menstruation is normal?

If there is a problem with a woman's body, it will be manifested through symptoms. Therefore, women should pay attention to some symptoms of their bodies in life, especially whether the women's body is normal and healthy can be observed through menstruation. It is especially important to judge whether the menstruation time, flow and other symptoms are used to judge. So how to judge whether the menstruation is normal?

1. Menstrual cycle

The average menstrual cycle for women is 28 to 30 days, but some people have their period every 40 days. But as long as there is regularity, it is normal. In addition, menstruation is easily affected by many factors, so it is normal to be 3 to 5 days earlier or later.

If this menstrual cycle is 20 days, and the next one is 40 days, and this happens frequently, and some women even have menstruation that comes every 1-2 days, and then comes again every 1-2 days after more than 10 days, losing the periodicity, this is considered irregular menstruation. When a girl reaches her first menstruation, her ovaries have just developed and their functions are not yet perfect, so they may experience functional disorders and irregularities. This is not a pathological phenomenon.

2. Menstrual period (also called menstrual period)

A woman's menstrual period lasts about 2 to 5 days. The general pattern of menstruation is that there is not much menstrual blood on the first day, but it increases on the second and third days, and then gradually decreases until the menstrual blood stops. This is because the endometrium just begins to shed on the first day, and on the second and third days, the shedding of the endometrium increases, the amount of bleeding also increases, the uterus is stimulated, the contraction increases, and a large amount of menstrual blood is discharged. For some people, after their menstrual blood has stopped, it comes back a day or two later. This is commonly known as "menstrual bleeding comes back". This is not a disease but a normal phenomenon. However, some women's menstrual period lasts for 10 to 20 days, with continuous menstruation; some women's menstrual period is very short and passes in a flash. Both phenomena are abnormal.

3. Menstrual blood volume

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, generally ranging from 20 to 100 ml. It is normal to change sanitary napkins or paper 3 to 5 times a day. If the amount of menstrual blood is too much, the sanitary napkin or paper will become wet again soon after changing it, or even flow down the legs, which is abnormal. Excessive menstrual bleeding may be functional uterine bleeding caused by factors such as excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstrual blood can cause anemia, and the cause should be identified and treated. Of course, if the menstrual volume is too small due to abnormalities of the uterus or ovaries or systemic diseases, this is also abnormal and you should seek medical attention in time.

Women should pay attention to observing their bodies and menstruation during menstruation, and must pay attention to issues such as the color of menstrual blood, so that they can discover problems and treat them in time. Especially some women with weaker bodies need to pay more attention to whether their menstruation is normal. If there are problems, they can take timely treatment methods to treat them.
