What if my period comes eight days early?

Female friends who have their periods must know that, under normal circumstances, menstruation comes once a month. Isn’t that the name? Also, menstruation lasts about five days, and the amount of blood should not be too much or too little. But another very important point is the issue of early or late menstruation. In a sense, both situations are not allowed, so what's the matter with menstruation coming eight days early?

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the menstrual cycle is always more than 7 days early, or even occurs twice in one month, it is called "early menstruation", also known as "early menstruation" or "early menstruation". If it is only 3-5 days ahead of schedule and there are no other obvious symptoms, it is within the normal range. Occasionally, the menstrual period comes ahead of schedule, which does not count as early menstruation. If the menstrual cycle is basically normal but the menstrual flow is significantly reduced, or even stops with a few drops, or the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual flow is also small, it is called oligomenorrhea, also known as scanty menstruation. It is generally believed that menstrual volume less than 30 ml is equivalent to irregular menstruation in Western medicine.

People who don’t understand women’s menstruation will definitely find it strange. How can the time of menstruation be calculated so accurately? This is normal. Menstruation is regular. By observing and recording over a period of time, you can discover your own menstrual regularity. Sometimes there is only a difference of one or two days, which has no effect. However, it is a bit abnormal if the menstruation comes eight days in advance.
