Is it normal to stop having your period on the fourth day?

Menstrual problems are an important factor affecting women's lives. Healthy menstruation allows women to reach their optimal mental and physical state, while abnormal menstruation can cause women to develop various diseases and seriously disrupt their rhythm of life. Menstruation usually occurs every month and lasts for about a week. But for some women, menstruation stops on the fourth day. Is this normal? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

The normal menstrual period is 3-7 days. If the menstruation suddenly stops on the 4th day, it is very normal and within the normal range, indicating that the follicle development is very good and there is normal progesterone secretion. Under the action of progesterone, the endometrium will undergo secretory changes and will shed quickly when menstruation comes, and it will shed very cleanly, so there is no need to worry. Some people may still have a small amount of brown discharge 1-2 days after being clean. This is because there is residual blood in the uterine cavity or vagina. This is normal and there is no need to worry. As long as the menstruation is over within 7 days, there is no problem.

Sexual intercourse is prohibited during menstruation. On the fourth day of menstruation, since the cervix is ​​slightly dilated when menstrual blood is discharged, sexual intercourse at this time can easily cause bacterial infection and lead to vaginitis, cervicitis or endometritis. Since menstrual blood contains shed endometrium, the blood can easily be squeezed into the pelvic cavity after sexual intercourse, which can then cause endometriosis and secondary infertility. Having sex during menstruation is very harmful to women's health, and it also has an impact on men, easily causing balanitis, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and prohibit sexual intercourse and bathing during menstruation.

Menstrual periods of less than three days are considered short menstruation. Pelvic inflammatory disease, intrauterine polyps, endometritis (myometritis), uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and IUD placement can all cause menstrual abnormalities.
