Now many people are asking about how long menstruation usually lasts. If women can understand their menstrual cycle in time, they can effectively prevent the occurrence of gynecological diseases. For specific content, please see the article below for introduction:

How long is normal for menstruation?

The first menstrual period is called menarche, which usually occurs between the ages of 13 and 15, but may occur as early as 11 to 12 years old or as late as 17 to 18 years old. The age of menarche in different regions of my country is not much different, but those who are weak or malnourished may have a later menarche, while those who are strong and well-nourished may have an earlier menarche. Menstruation stops spontaneously at around the age of 49, lasting about 35 years.

The first day of bleeding (i.e. menstruation) is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle. The interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle, which is generally 28 to 30 days, which is about the same as a lunar month. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. Occasionally, a period that is advanced or delayed by no more than 7 days can still be considered normal. That is, the menstrual cycle should not be less than 21 days and not more than 35 days. Menstruation stops during pregnancy and lactation.

2How many days does a woman's menstrual period usually last? The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstrual blood flow. 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.

3Menstrual color refers to the color of menstrual blood. Menstrual blood is generally dark red. It starts out lighter, then gradually darkens, and finally turns light red and clear. In addition to blood, it also contains endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. The main characteristic of menstrual blood is that it does not coagulate, but under normal circumstances there are occasionally some small clots.

4 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".

The above is the article’s introduction to how long menstruation is normal. I believe many people have a certain understanding of it. For women, they must know their menstrual cycle in order to effectively ensure their health and prevent the occurrence of emergencies.
