Although every menstruation is very painful and can make girls have stomachaches, it is very important. So how long does menstruation usually last?

The periodic vaginal bleeding that occurs in women is called menstruation. Whether a woman's menstruation is normal can generally be judged from the following aspects.

Menstrual cycle: From the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For the vast majority of people, the menstrual cycle is between 28-35 days, but for a few, it can be as short as 20 days or as long as 45 days. Within the above range, as long as the menstruation is regular, it is normal.

Menstrual period: The period of vaginal bleeding is called the menstrual period. Most people's menstrual period lasts 3-5 days, but as little as 1-2 days and as much as 7-8 days is also within the normal range.

Menstrual blood volume: The menstrual blood volume during normal menstruation is 20-120 ml, most of which is 50 ml. It is highest on the second or third day of menstruation and gradually decreases afterwards.

Characteristics of menstrual blood: Menstrual blood is characterized by non-coagulation and dark red color. In addition to blood, menstrual blood also contains fragments of endometrial lining, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Most women have no obvious symptoms during menstruation, but a few women may experience breast swelling, headache, insomnia, palpitations, lower abdominal distension and pain, and emotional instability.

This situation generally does not affect work and does not require treatment. The symptoms will disappear naturally after the menstrual period.

Normal menstruation is a manifestation of normal development and sound function of female internal reproductive organs.

In a regular menstrual cycle, the interval between two menstrual periods is generally not less than 20 days or more than 45 days. Normal menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days, most of which are 3 to 5 days. The average amount of bleeding is about 50 ml, but can be as little as 20 ml or as much as 100 ml. Menstrual blood is dark red because it contains fibrinolysin, which prevents it from clotting. When bleeding is heavy, there is a lack of fibrinolysin and blood clots are formed. If the menstrual period is too long or the amount of menstrual blood is too much or too little, it is abnormal and needs diagnosis and treatment.
