How many days of menstruation is considered normal?

Many girls will experience their first menstrual period at the age of 13-15. From this time on, the monthly menstrual period will last for about 35 years. As they grow older, girls will also understand their menstrual periods very well. They should know how long and how often they should come, and when they should come each month. However, due to individual differences, the number of days of menstruation is not the same. So how many days of menstruation is considered normal?

1. The first day of bleeding (i.e. menstruation) is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle. The interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle, which is generally 28 to 30 days, which is about the same as a lunar month. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. Occasionally, a period that is advanced or delayed by no more than 7 days can still be considered normal. That is, the menstrual cycle should not be less than 21 days and not more than 35 days. Menstruation stops during pregnancy and lactation.

2. How many days does a woman's menstrual period usually last? The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstrual blood flow. Normal menstruation lasts 2 to 7 days, usually 4 to 5 days. Menstrual flow refers to the amount of blood discharged during menstruation. The amount of menstrual flow is difficult to calculate, but clinically, a rough estimate of the amount is often made by changing menstrual pads daily. Some people have measured that the normal menstrual blood volume is about 10 to 58 ml, and some women's menstrual volume can exceed 100 ml. Some people believe that monthly blood loss of more than 80 ml is a pathological condition. Generally, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. Due to differences in individual physique, age, climate, region and living conditions, menstrual volume may sometimes increase or decrease slightly, which is all within the normal physiological range.

3. Menstrual color refers to the color of menstrual blood. Menstrual blood is generally dark red. It starts out lighter, then gradually darkens, and finally turns light red and clear. In addition to blood, it also contains endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. The main characteristic of menstrual blood is that it does not coagulate, but under normal circumstances there are occasionally some small clots.

4. Menstrual quality refers to the properties of menstrual blood. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual quality is neither thin nor thick, is not easy to coagulate, has no obvious blood clots, and has no special smell. Pathological changes in menstrual content are not only common menstrual diseases, but also an important basis for clinical differentiation of syndromes. Understanding the changes in menstrual quality can provide important diagnostic information for clinical practice. When women have their menstrual period and their menstrual blood is thick or sticky, it is called "thick menstrual blood".
