How many days does a woman's menstrual period usually last?

Menstruation is a unique physiological characteristic of women. It is a cycle in which the female ovaries produce and discharge eggs. Because it usually occurs once a month, it is called menstruation. Although women have menstruation every month, and female friends generally understand their menstrual patterns, such as when they have their periods and when they stop menstruating, many women do not know how many days a normal menstrual period lasts. Only by understanding these can they better prevent menstrual diseases.

Menstruation is also known as monthly affairs, monthly water, monthly letter, period, aunt, and seeing red. Chinese medicine calls it menstrual blood. Because most people have it once a month, it is called menstruation. It refers to regular, cyclical uterine bleeding. Strictly speaking, this bleeding should be accompanied by ovarian follicle maturation, ovulation and corpus luteum formation, and the endometrium should undergo changes from proliferation to secretion. However, in clinical practice, uterine bleeding without ovulation is common, which is called anovulatory menstruation.

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.

The above is an introduction to the question of how many days a woman’s menstrual period usually lasts. Female friends need to be reminded that once some situations occur that are not in line with their daily routines, they need to consider whether there is a disorder in some of their body functions and go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to find the cause. Don't take it lightly because of one or two unusual things.
