How many days of menstrual period is normal?

As long as the girl's sexual organs develop normally, she will have menstruation after the secondary sexual characteristics appear. Usually, the first menstruation occurs between the ages of twelve and thirteen. The duration of menstruation varies from person to person. Some people may have a period of more than ten days, but for others it is over in three or four days. So, how many days of menstruation is considered normal? Let’s take a look at this issue together.

1. How many days does the menstrual period usually last?

Your period is the duration of your menstrual bleeding. Normal menstruation lasts 2 to 7 days, usually 4 to 5 days. Menstrual flow refers to the amount of blood discharged during menstruation. The amount of menstrual flow is difficult to calculate, but clinically, a rough estimate of the amount is often made by changing menstrual pads daily. Some people have measured that the normal menstrual blood volume is about 10 to 58 ml, and some women's menstrual volume can exceed 100 ml. Some people believe that monthly blood loss of more than 80 ml is a pathological condition. Generally, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. Due to differences in individual physique, age, climate, region and living conditions, menstrual volume may sometimes increase or decrease slightly, which is all within the normal physiological range.

2: What is considered normal menstrual blood

Menstrual quality refers to the properties of menstrual blood. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual quality is neither thin nor thick, is not easy to coagulate, has no obvious blood clots, and has no special smell. Pathological changes in menstrual content are not only common menstrual diseases, but also an important basis for clinical differentiation of syndromes. Understanding the changes in menstrual quality can provide important diagnostic information for clinical practice. When women have their menstrual period and their menstrual blood is thick or sticky, it is called "thick menstrual blood".

Well, after reading the above introduction, I believe you already know that the menstrual cycle is different for people of different physiques and different age groups, so if your menstrual cycle is not particularly long or short, it is still normal and you don’t have to worry about it. But if the situation is too serious, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.
