How many days is the menstrual cycle?

Menstruation is a relative of female friends. Female friends can tell whether there is any problem with their body by the normal arrival of the menstrual cycle. If female friends experience a delayed menstrual cycle, it may be that you are pregnant, or it may be caused by endocrine disorders. If the menstrual cycle is shortened, it may be caused by uterine disease or abnormalities in organs such as the hypothalamus.

Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is 22 to 35 days, the menstrual period is 3 to 7 days, the menstrual volume is 20 to 120ML, and it is dark red. If it is not within this normal range, it is considered irregular menstruation. For example, uterine disease, ovarian, pituitary, and hypothalamic dysfunction can all lead to menstrual disorders. Emotions, drugs, diet, stress, environment, endocrine disorders, etc. can all cause menstrual irregularities.

The first menstrual period is called menarche, which usually occurs between the ages of 13 and 15, but may occur as early as 11 to 12 years old or as late as 17 to 18 years old. The age of menarche in different regions of my country is not much different, but those who are weak or malnourished may have a later menarche, while those who are strong and well-nourished may have an earlier menarche. Menstruation stops spontaneously at around the age of 49, lasting about 35 years.

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.

Your period is the duration of your menstrual bleeding. 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.

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.

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".

From the introduction of the article, we all know that the menstrual cycle of female friends is generally 28 days, and the menstrual cycle of each female friend is different. Some female friends have their periods earlier, and some later. This is based on the female friend’s physical constitution and genetic factors, so we hope everyone can understand.
