The first day of menstruation is scary

What are the reasons for a heavy menstrual flow on the first day? Generally speaking, the first day of menstruation should not be very heavy, but there are many people who have a heavy flow on the first day. What is the reason?

For most women, the amount of menstrual flow is the heaviest on the second day of their period. If the amount of menstrual flow is heavy on the first day of the period, the amount will gradually decrease thereafter. It may be because on the first day, the uterine wall falls off on a large scale, so in clinical medicine it is mainly manifested as a heavier menstrual flow on the first day. Then on the second and third days, the menstrual flow will gradually decrease until the menstrual period is over.

It is recommended to keep warm during menstruation, and be careful not to take blood-activating medicines or drink alcohol during menstruation to avoid excessive menstrual flow and temporary anemia symptoms. In addition, if the menstrual flow is heavy on the first day and is also heavy in the following days, it is clinically recommended to rule out the possibility of uterine fibroids, endometrial inflammation and uterine polyps, because these diseases may cause a certain increase in menstrual flow.

How much is the normal menstrual flow

The normal menstrual volume for women is about 30-50ml. Everyone's physical condition and genetic inheritance are different, so the amount of menstrual flow is also different for everyone. Some people have a little more menstrual flow, some people have a little less menstrual flow, but as long as it is within the standard value range, it is normal, and each menstrual period lasts about 3-5 days. If the menstrual volume is less than 2b250l, it is considered oligomenorrhea.

If the amount of menstrual blood exceeds 8b250l, it is considered excessive menstruation. Whether the menstrual volume is too much or too little, it is a pathological condition. It may be caused by ovarian problems and endocrine imbalance. You need to see a gynecologist and cooperate with the doctor to do six hormone tests for women, etc. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment and medication are given. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to a regular lifestyle, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a happy mood, which is conducive to maintaining normal endocrine function. 3.
