How long does menstruation usually last?

Menstruation is a sign of women's maturity, but we also know that menstruation is actually quite irregular in the beginning. But gradually, the length of menstruation will become a cycle. Because there may still be some differences between different people, but not too big. Some girls who have just experienced menstruation want to ask how long menstruation usually lasts? Let me explain it to all female friends below.

The menstrual cycle starts with the first day of bleeding. The time interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called the menstrual cycle, which is generally 28-30 days. The length of the cycle varies from person to person.

Menstruation usually lasts 2-7 days, most of the time it lasts 3-6 days. Generally, the amount of bleeding is heavier on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. In clinical practice, most people roughly estimate the amount of bleeding by changing sanitary napkins every day.

Methods/Steps

Don't touch cold water during menstruation:

Women's bodies are originally yin, and they must avoid cold during menstruation. Because if we are exposed to cold during menstruation, it will definitely trigger certain changes in the body and cause stomach pain. Everyone knows how painful dysmenorrhea is. No matter what you do, you will feel uncomfortable. So what you need to pay attention to at this time is not to drink cold water, not to use cold water to wash dishes and clothes, not to use cold water to wash your face, etc. No matter you are in the cold winter or the hot summer, please do not touch cold water during menstruation.

Don't touch peppers during menstruation:

Some women may be born with a spicy personality. They must eat chili peppers at every meal regardless of the consequences. And they eat a lot of chili peppers in their meals and dishes every day. However, although chili peppers are helpful to our body and can change our taste for food, you know that eating spicy food will definitely harm our body and cannot promote our body's detoxification, which will lead to stomach pain, dysmenorrhea and other conditions. Therefore, you must be careful not to eat spicy food during menstruation.

Don't eat cold food during menstruation:

Some people like to eat cold rice. Due to the pressure of life and lack of time, they always come home at noon, put the leftovers from the morning directly into a bowl and start eating, and then rush to work. Although this saves time, do you know how difficult it is to digest cold rice in the stomach? And do you know how much impact cold rice has on our menstrual period? It can also cause us to have stomach pain, and then there is really nothing we can do.

Don’t take a bath during menstruation:

I have a friend who thinks she is young and she needs to be hygienic and clean every day. So every time she has her period, she doesn’t take a shower for the first two or three days. Then on the fourth and fifth days, when her periods gradually decrease, she starts to take a shower every day. Little does she know how much damage this will cause to her body. If she were not young, I think it would be difficult for her to get through such a painful process. Every time she takes a shower, she feels particularly uncomfortable the next day, an inexplicable discomfort that is indescribable. So never take a shower for the sake of hygiene.

Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation:

During menstruation, you must not insist on running or morning exercises for the sake of exercising. You can go out for a walk or a stroll appropriately, but do not do strenuous exercise such as running or playing badminton. Not only will it cause poor excretion in the body, it will also affect the body. Therefore, you must not do strenuous exercise during menstruation.

Remember to supplement nutrition during menstruation:

It is conceivable that if you have a cut on your body and bleed every day, you will definitely not be able to bear it. So during menstruation, although our body is detoxifying, part of our blood will also be discharged. So during menstruation, we must eat more nutritional supplements, such as brown sugar water, donkey-hide gelatin, honey water, milk, red dates and lotus seed soup, etc. In short, we must remember to supplement nutrition and take it hot.

Do not have sex during menstruation:

Do not have sex during menstruation just for momentary desires or out of pity for your husband, because having sex during menstruation will seriously affect the amount of menstruation, resulting in poor and incomplete detoxification. Finally, more and more toxins accumulate in the body and will cause pathology. So for your health and your body, don't torture your body for the sake of momentary pleasure. I believe both you and your husband will consider this.

It may not be normal when you just start your period, so don't worry too much at this time. It will gradually return to normal, but you still need to be reminded that during menstruation, you need to pay attention to your diet and hygiene habits. This is the time when the body's resistance is relatively weak. I hope women will not take it lightly and cause many problems.
