Standards for measuring low menstrual flow in 40-year-old women

For example, if a woman is in good health at the age of 40, her menstruation may be very normal. However, if her health is not very good, the amount of menstruation will gradually decrease. Therefore, many women want to know in detail the standard of menstrual volume reduction for women at the age of 40. In order for you to understand it as soon as possible, please take a look at the introduction below. I hope that through the introduction, you can have a specific understanding.

It is normal for the length of your menstrual cycle to start changing, from a 28-day cycle to a 35-day cycle and then to a 2-day cycle. In addition, your menstrual flow may increase. Irregular bleeding that begins at age 40 may be a symptom of uterine polyps. Although the ovaries no longer ovulate as regularly as before and the frequency of ovulation has also decreased, the issue of contraception cannot be ignored. The rate of unplanned pregnancy for a 40-year-old woman is as high as that for a teenager.

Four criteria for measuring whether menstruation is normal for 40-year-old women

1. Cycle: Every woman’s cycle is different, and any period ranging from 21 to 35 days is considered normal. The key is whether it is on time. Having sex regularly (e.g. once a week) can help regulate your hormones and help with menstrual regularity.

2. Blood volume: The amount of blood lost by women during menstruation should be within 85 grams and last for 3 to 7 days. The heaviest bleeding occurs within the first 3 days (accounting for 90% of the total blood loss).

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

4. Menstruation no longer comes: If menstruation no longer comes, the possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out first. If you are not pregnant, you should review your lifestyle: travel, stress, strenuous exercise, excessive weight loss and climate change can affect your menstrual cycle. Hormonal and thyroid imbalances can also lead to longer menstrual cycles. In addition, suffering from polycystic ovarian cysts (PCOS) or taking progesterone oral contraceptives for a long time can also prolong the menstrual cycle.

The above is a detailed introduction to the four standards for whether the menstruation of a 40-year-old woman is normal. You can use the above four standards to check whether your menstruation is normal. I believe that through comparison, you can understand whether you are normal? If you are at a normal value, it proves that your body is still healthy. If you find that you do not meet the standards, you can improve it through conditioning.
