How long does menstruation last?

Every girl has her period every month, and girls call it a good friend. Sometimes when menstruation comes, many girls will have stomach pain and take painkillers. Some even go to the hospital for infusion when they feel uncomfortable. The duration of menstruation is different every time and for every woman. So many women must want to know the reason and the changes in the duration of menstruation. Everyone should be familiar with it.

The first menstrual period is called menarche, which usually occurs between the ages of 13 and 15, but may occur as early as 11 to 12 years old or as late as 17 to 18 years old. The age of menarche in different regions of my country is not much different, but those who are weak or malnourished may have a later menarche, while those who are strong and well-nourished may have an earlier menarche. Menstruation stops spontaneously at around the age of 49, lasting about 35 years.

The menstrual cycle lasts from the first day of menstruation to the day before the next menstruation, which is mostly 28 to 30 days, with a normal range of 25 to 35 days. Normal menstrual blood is dark red, mixed with endometrial debris and mucus, and occasionally small blood clots. The menstrual period is usually 3 to 5 days, and the normal range is 2 to 7 days. The average total amount of bleeding is about 50 ml.

When menstruation lasts too long or too short, the amount of bleeding is abnormal, or there is abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation, it is irregular menstruation.

How many days does a woman's menstrual period usually last? The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstrual blood flow. Normal menstruation lasts 2 to 7 days, usually 4 to 5 days. Menstrual flow refers to the amount of blood discharged during menstruation. The amount of menstrual flow is difficult to calculate, but clinically, a rough estimate of the amount is often made by changing menstrual pads daily. Some people have measured that the normal menstrual blood volume is about 10 to 58 ml, and some women's menstrual volume can exceed 100 ml. Some people believe that monthly blood loss of more than 80 ml is a pathological condition. Generally, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. Due to differences in individual physique, age, climate, region and living conditions, menstrual volume may sometimes increase or decrease slightly, which is all within the normal physiological range.

Menstrual color refers to the color of menstrual blood. Menstrual blood is generally dark red. It starts out lighter, then gradually darkens, and finally turns light red and clear. In addition to blood, it also contains endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. The main characteristic of menstrual blood is that it does not coagulate, but under normal circumstances there are occasionally some small clots.

Menstrual quality refers to the properties of menstrual blood. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual quality is neither thin nor thick, is not easy to coagulate, has no obvious blood clots, and has no special smell. Pathological changes in menstrual content are not only common menstrual diseases, but also an important basis for clinical differentiation of syndromes. Understanding the changes in menstrual quality can provide important diagnostic information for clinical practice. When women have their menstrual period and their menstrual blood is thick or sticky, it is called "thick menstrual blood".

Every woman knows about the length of menstruation. Many girls do not pay attention to their eating habits. They should take good care of themselves and not let their families worry about their health. Girls should also learn more about medical knowledge, which is good for themselves. Menstruation is very important and plays a decisive role in the baby. I hope everyone will remember it.
