Is it normal for menstruation to end after 8 days?

When female friends enter puberty, their bodies will secrete much more estrogen than before puberty, so some reproductive parts of the body will gradually develop. Menstruation is an important sign of a woman's maturity, but many adolescent girls are still embarrassed to talk about it. Therefore, it is not easy to tell parents about some problems that arise during menstruation. Generally, a normal woman's menstruation lasts about a week. So is it normal for menstruation to end after eight days?

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.

How many days of menstruation are normal

First, the interval between the first day of menstruation in the first month and the first day of menstruation in the second month is a menstrual cycle. Counting from the first day of menstruation in the previous month, it is normal to have a menstrual cycle one week earlier or later. Therefore, the menstrual cycle should not be less than 21 days and cannot exceed 35 days.

Second, the normal menstrual period is 2-7 days, usually 4-5 days, and the amount of bleeding is the heaviest on the 2nd or 3rd day after the start of menstruation.

Third, menstrual blood is usually dark red. It is usually lighter in color at the beginning, gradually becomes darker, and then lighter. These are all normal.

Fourth, the condition of menstrual blood is called menstrual blood. Under normal circumstances, menstrual blood is neither thin nor thick and is not easy to coagulate. It also has no special odor.

2. Reasons for unclean menstruation

1. Gynecological diseases

Gynecological diseases are the main cause of irregular menstruation. Common ones include endometritis, pelvic inflammation, uterine polyps, cervicitis, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, vaginitis, etc. These gynecological diseases can cause continuous menstruation. If not treated early, they are likely to aggravate the condition and even cause complications, seriously endangering women's health.

2. Endocrine disorders

Endocrine disorders can lead to irregular menstruation, and irregular menstruation is a common symptom of irregular menstruation. If the menstrual period is prolonged, the menstrual blood volume is small, and the color is dark, it is likely caused by luteal insufficiency, because luteal insufficiency will reduce the secretion of progesterone, resulting in a shorter menstrual cycle and a longer period. In the first few days of the period, it is often manifested as brown secretions, and normal menstrual blood will appear after a few days. In this case, it is necessary to regulate the endocrine system in order to eliminate the symptoms of prolonged menstruation.
