It's normal for my period to be clean for three days

Menstruation, also known as period, refers to the phenomenon of vaginal bleeding once a month that occurs when the ovaries of women enter puberty and gradually mature and secrete female hormones, and the endometrium also undergoes changes. Some women have longer menstrual periods, while others have shorter ones. Both long and short menstrual periods are pathological manifestations. So, if your period stops after three days, is that normal?

1. Menstrual period and menstrual volume 1. Since everyone's physical constitution is different, as long as it is within your own regular range, it is considered normal. Generally, the normal menstrual period for women lasts for 3-7 days. 2. No matter how long the menstrual period lasts, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd or 3rd day. Occasionally, a menstrual period that is too long or too short may be due to environmental, emotional, and other factors. If this happens for several consecutive months, it is recommended to get checked to confirm whether there is any physical abnormality. 3. If the menstruation lasts for more than 7 days, it is called prolonged menstruation. Excessive menstrual flow can easily cause anemia. Prolonged menstruation may be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and intrauterine contraceptive devices. 4. If the menstrual period lasts less than 3 days, it is called a short period and small menstrual volume (oligomenorrhea). If the menstrual cycle is basically normal, but the menstrual volume is significantly reduced, or even just a few drops of menstrual fluid are enough, or if the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual volume is also small, it is called "oligomenorrhea".

2. What causes scanty menstruation?

1. Small amount of menstruation is mostly caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold stagnation in the blood, phlegm obstruction and other reasons.

2. The causes and pathologies of oligomenorrhea can be both real and false. Those with deficiency are mostly due to physical weakness, serious illness, long-term illness, blood loss, or diet and fatigue that damage the spleen, or sexual fatigue that damages the kidneys, which causes deficiency of the blood sea and reduced menstrual volume; those with excess are mostly due to blood stasis in the body, or phlegm and dampness stagnation, which block the meridians, poor blood circulation, and reduced menstrual blood.

3. Oral contraceptives or intramuscular contraceptive injections, excessive dieting, frequent sulking, and ovarian dysfunction can also cause oligomenorrhea.
