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.
