How to calculate the menstrual cycle

How to calculate the menstrual cycle? Every female friend will go through this stage. If the menstrual period comes on different dates each time and is not very regular, you will be very anxious. If it comes early, it is not good, and if it comes late, it is not good either. This will bring a lot of trouble to your life. So how many days is the menstrual cycle and how to calculate it? Let all female friends pay attention to it.

Before calculating your menstrual cycle, it is recommended that you prepare a desk calendar or form to record the time and date of each menstrual period, as well as the length of the cycle. The more detailed the record, the better. If it is convenient, it is best to record the symptoms of each month. On the one hand, it is to accurately understand your physiological condition. On the other hand, if there is any discomfort or abnormality, it will also be convenient to regulate your body.

1 The first day of bleeding is the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the interval between the first days of two menstruations is called the menstrual cycle. Therefore, the calculation of the menstrual cycle should include the time of menstruation. Some women only count the time when their menstruation stops, so they may think that their menstrual cycle is shortened. Clinically, some women often complain of irregular menstruation, with two periods in a month. In fact, if you calculate carefully, it is normal to have a menstrual period once at the beginning and end of the month. The normal menstrual cycle is 28-35 days. The length of the cycle may vary from person to person. 7-10 days early or late can be considered within the normal range. As long as a certain regularity can be maintained, it cannot be considered as irregular menstruation.

2The last menstrual period refers to the menstrual period closest to the date of consultation and should be calculated from the first day of bleeding. However, it should be noted that the last menstrual period refers to the duration and amount of this menstrual period that are the same as usual. Do not mistake abnormal vaginal bleeding for menstruation. This type of bleeding is generally less than menstrual period, and the duration may be shorter or longer, or the normal menstrual pattern may be lost.

3 The duration of menstruation is generally 3-7 days, and the amount of bleeding is within 100 ml, with the highest amount on the 2nd or 3rd day. Menstrual blood is generally dark red and does not coagulate. In addition to blood, it also contains endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. Generally, women have no symptoms during menstruation. A few may experience discomfort such as a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen or lumbar region, breast tenderness, constipation or diarrhea, and headache, which generally do not affect their daily work, study, and life.

4For example, a woman had her period on December 1st, and after the pre-safe period (including about 4-6 days of menstruation), ovulation and post-safe period, she had her period again on December 29th. The woman's menstrual cycle is from the 1st to the 28th, a total of 28 days. The 29th is the first day of the next menstrual cycle.

Have you all learned how to calculate the menstrual cycle? We need to remind you that during menstruation, you need to be careful not to take a cold bath, not to eat spicy food, etc. I hope that female friends can regulate their menstrual cycle and live a healthy life.
