The color of normal menstruation is shown in the picture

Every time we have our period, we always observe the amount and color of our menstrual flow. The amount and color of menstruation reflect our current health status, but many people don't know what are the criteria for considering a woman's menstruation to be normal. So, what is the color of a normal menstrual period? Let’s take a look together.

1. Menstrual cycle: From the first day of menarche to the first day of the next menarche is called a menstrual cycle. Most people have a cycle between 28-35 days, but a few have a cycle as short as 20 days or nearly 45 days. Within the above range, as long as the menstrual period is regular, it is normal.

2. 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.

3. Menstrual blood volume: The normal menstrual blood volume is 20-120ml, mostly 50ml, with the highest volume on the second or third day of menarche, and then gradually decreases.

4. Color of menstrual blood: The characteristic of menstrual blood is that it is not coagulated but dark red in color. In addition to blood, menstrual blood also contains fragments of the uterine wall, cervical mucus, and squamous epithelial cells in the vagina.

5. Cycle time: Every woman's cycle time is different. It is normal to have a cycle time ranging from 21 days to 35 days. The key is whether it is on time. Regular sex (e.g. once a week) can help you regulate your hormones and help regulate your menstrual cycle.

6. Blood clots: What are the blood clots discharged during menstruation? The doctor's explanation is: If the menstrual blood is blocked in the same area and is not discharged immediately, blood clots will form after 5 to 10 minutes of accumulation. Blood clots usually occur in the morning just after waking up or after sitting for a long time.

7. Menstrual period has not come: If menstruation has not come, the first thing to do is to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you need to reflect on your lifestyle habits: travel, work pressure, excessive exercise, excessive weight loss and climate issues can all affect your menstrual cycle. Imbalances in male hormones and thyroid cysts can also cause increased menstrual cycles.
