What is the normal color of menstruation?

Menstruation is a physiological need that every woman has on a daily basis. This thing seems simple, but it is actually very difficult for some female friends. Because during the menstrual period, not every woman's menstrual flow or menstrual period is normal, and some women even have a shorter period of menstruation. Therefore, this is an area that many female friends feel very distressed about. So today I want to share with you whether it is normal to have a short menstrual period?

Is short menstrual period normal?

Women's menstruation usually lasts 2-7 days. If the menstrual period lasts less than 2 days, it is considered to be shortened. What are the reasons for shorter menstrual periods in women? One is uterine hypoplasia: uterine hypoplasia can be mainly manifested as amenorrhea, scanty menstruation, short menstruation or menstrual pain. Uterine hypoplasia is more common in infantile uterus. The second is endocrine abnormalities: endocrine plays a buffering role on the menarche of the system. If the estrogen or estrogen level is too low, symptoms such as short menstruation and too little menstrual flow are very likely to occur. The third is anovulatory menstruation: Anovulatory menstruation often causes irregular uterine bleeding, which is common during puberty and menopause. Anovulatory menstruation can be characterized by short menstrual duration and less bleeding. Fourth, uterine wall tuberculosis: uterine wall tuberculosis often invades the uterus, causing infertility. Therefore, the most common symptom is infertility, followed by pelvic pain and menstrual disorders, and may be accompanied by amenorrhea, scanty menstruation, and multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding. The fifth is curettage and abortion: the cervical endometrium is damaged during curettage and abortion, and adhesions occur after the operation, such as cervical canal adhesions. If the adhesion is large, it can cause amenorrhea, while if it is small, it can shorten the menstrual period. In addition to environmental changes, stress, and mental trauma that may cause abnormalities in the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, weight loss, anorexia nervosa, excessive exercise, and even drug stimulation may also cause abnormalities in the hypothalamus-pituitary gland. Of course, some congenital diseases or female head hypoplasia, head tumors, etc. can also cause abnormal hormone metabolism.
