How many days is a girl’s menstrual cycle? This is something that every female friend needs to know, because menstruation is a very important criterion for judging whether a female friend’s body is healthy. If the menstrual cycle is abnormal, it will also affect the female friend’s body and even affect fertility. Therefore, we must pay special attention to our menstrual situation. Let us learn about the menstrual cycle below.

1. How is a normal menstrual cycle calculated?

Menstrual cycle, also known as physiological period. A woman's menstrual cycle begins on the first day of menstruation and ends on the next menstruation.

The menstrual cycle generally ranges from 28 to 30 days, and may also occur every 40 days. As long as it is regular, it is normal. There are many factors that affect menstruation, so it is normal for it to be 3-5 days earlier or later.

Friendly reminder: If your menstrual cycle is irregular for a long time, it may be caused by some gynecological diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

2. What is the correct number of days for menstruation?

Also known as the menstrual period, the menstrual period generally lasts 2-7 days. If it lasts for more than a week, it is considered an abnormal phenomenon. 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. For some people, menstrual bleeding comes back a day or two after it stops, which is commonly known as "menstrual bleeding comes back". This is also normal.

Friendly reminder: A menstrual period that is too long or too short is a sign of irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you take some medication to regulate your menstruation. If you have other symptoms, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up in time.

3. How to measure menstrual blood volume

The normal menstrual blood volume for women is 30~50 ml. Less than 20 ml is considered oligomenorrhea, and more than 80 ml is considered menorrhagia. How to judge the amount of menstrual flow? This requires us to pay attention to the number of sanitary napkins used. Generally, women change a sanitary napkin every 2 to 3 hours when the menstrual flow is heavy, which means about 5 napkins a day. However, if you need to change more than 8 napkins a day, the menstrual blood often stains the clothes, and you have symptoms of anemia and dizziness every time, it means that the menstrual blood is too much. On the contrary, if you only need to change 2 sanitary napkins a day, or even only a few drops of menstrual blood, and the menstrual period ends in 1 to 2 days, it means that the menstrual blood is too little.

Through the explanation of how many days a girl’s menstrual cycle lasts in the above article, I hope that female friends can better understand their menstrual cycle. If you find that your cycle is irregular, or too long or too short, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination in time. You should not blindly abuse drugs, but you should also not turn a blind eye to it, as this will only make your body worse.
