How many days is abnormal for menstruation?

We all know that irregular menstruation has a great impact on women. In mild cases, women may feel abdominal pain during menstruation, and severe back pain may even affect women's pregnancy function. Therefore, when women have repeated delays or advances in menstruation, they must seek timely treatment. So how many days is abnormal for menstruation? Here are some of the reasons.

How many days does the menstrual period usually last?

Menstrual period (also called menstrual period). A woman's menstrual period lasts about 3-5 days, and 2-8 days is not uncommon. The general pattern of menstruation is that there is not much menstrual blood on the first day, but it increases on the second and third days, and then gradually decreases until the menstrual blood stops. This is because the endometrium just begins to shed on the first day, and on the second and third days the shedding of the endometrium increases, the amount of bleeding also increases, the uterus is stimulated, the contraction increases, and a large amount of menstrual blood is discharged. For some people, after their menstrual blood has stopped, it comes back a day or two later, which is called "menstrual bleeding returning". This is not a disease but a normal phenomenon. However, some women's menstrual period lasts for 10 days or even 20 days, and their menstrual period is endless; some women's menstrual period is very short and it just passes in a flash. Both phenomena are abnormal. High pressure from work and study, irregular lifestyle, abortion, and taking birth control pills can all lead to disharmony of Qi and blood, causing endocrine disorders and menstrual cycle disorders. Irregular menstruation is considered an endocrine disorder by Western medicine.
