Long menstrual cycle

The menstrual cycle is 28 days, and the menstrual volume is about 35 ml. If the menstrual cycle becomes longer, it may be caused by endocrine disorders or uterine hypoplasia. Girls need to go to the hospital to check the cause of the disease. Uterine hypoplasia can lead to long menstrual cycles and amenorrhea, and can also affect a girl's future pregnancy, so girls should promptly treat the symptoms of long menstrual cycles.

What causes a long menstrual cycle?

Generally speaking, the menstrual cycle of most people is about 28 days, the duration of a menstrual period is 4 to 7 days, and the average amount of menstrual blood is about 35 ml. If the amount of menstrual blood is more than 80 ml, it is called excessive menstrual bleeding. If the amount of menstrual blood is less than 20 ml, it is called oligomenorrhea. The length of the menstrual cycle varies from person to person, with 20 to 40 days being the normal range, and each woman's menstrual cycle has her own regularity.

Normal menstruation is a manifestation of normal development and sound function of female internal reproductive organs. The periodic vaginal bleeding that occurs in women is called menstruation. Whether a woman's menstruation is normal can generally be judged from the following aspects.

1. Menstrual period: The period of vaginal bleeding is called the menstrual period. Most people's menstrual period lasts 3-5 days, but as little as 1-2 days and as much as 7-8 days is also within the normal range.

2. Menstrual cycle: From the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For the vast majority of people, the menstrual cycle is between 28-35 days, but for a few, it can be as short as 20 days or as long as 45 days. Within the above range, as long as the menstruation is regular, it is normal.

3. Characteristics of menstrual blood: Menstrual blood is characterized by non-coagulation and dark red color. In addition to blood, menstrual blood also contains fragments of endometrial lining, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells.

4. Menstrual blood volume: The menstrual blood volume during normal menstruation is 20-120 ml, most of which is 50 ml. It is highest on the second or third day of menstruation and gradually decreases afterwards.
