How many days does a normal period usually last?

Menstruation, commonly known as period, is a cyclical physiological cycle that usually occurs in women around the age of 14. However, the cycle is generally 28 days. Normally, it lasts about a week, but for some women, some may last for a longer period of time, but on the contrary, some may disappear in a short time. So how many days is normal, and what effects do short or long have on the body.

The menstrual period (also known as the menstrual period) of women is about 3-5 days. 2-8 days is not uncommon. The general pattern of menstruation is that there is not much blood on the first day. The amount increases on the second and third days, and then gradually decreases until the blood is clean. This is because the endometrium sheds on the first day, and then on the second and third days, the endometrium sheds more and the amount of bleeding also increases. The uterus is stimulated to strengthen its contraction and discharge a large amount of menstrual blood. Some people's menstrual blood is clean, and then a day or two later, a little desire comes again. It is called menstrual blood returning. This is not a disease but a normal phenomenon.

However, some women have periods as long as 10 or even 20 days, and some have very short periods that pass in a flash. Both of these phenomena are abnormal. Work and study pressure, irregular life, abortion, and taking contraceptives can lead to qi and blood disharmony, endocrine disorders, and menstrual cycle disorders. Irregular menstruation is considered an endocrine disorder by Western medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation can be divided into deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome. The vast majority is caused by deficiency syndrome, which often manifests as irregular menstruation, blood clots, scanty menstruation, cold hands and feet, hot flashes, sweating, etc. These are all typical symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, cold stagnation and qi stagnation. They are usually manifested as sallow or white complexion, fear of cold and cold limbs during menstruation, preference for warmth and pressure, indigestion, etc.

Menstruation is a sign of a woman's decline. As a woman, who doesn't want to be in her prime and charming? In addition to taking medicine, you also need to adjust your mentality mentally, balance your mind, exercise appropriately, and face life optimistically... The decline of both body and mind is the perfect state for a woman.

Therefore, I believe that after the editor’s introduction above, everyone has some understanding of menstruation, also known as aunt. The amount of menstrual flow varies from person to person, and for some it lasts for a certain period of time. There may be some health problems in the body, but most women's menstrual periods are relatively normal.
