Normal menstrual blood picture

Menstrual flow refers to the bleeding during menstruation. Menstruation refers to regular vaginal bleeding once a month. Girls usually have their first menstruation at around 12 years old. A normal woman's menstrual blood line is 30~50ml. Less than 20ml is oligomenorrhea, and more than 80ml is menorrhagia.

Difference in menstrual flow

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, but is generally 20 to 100 ml. Generally, it is normal to change sanitary napkins or paper 3 to 5 times a day. If the menstrual flow is heavy, it will become wet again soon after changing the sanitary napkin or paper, or even flow down the legs, which is abnormal. Excessive menstruation may be a multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding caused by factors such as mental stress, anxiety, changes in the natural environment, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstruation can cause anemia, the cause should be found out and treated.

It is common for beautiful girls during puberty to have excessive menstrual flow. The main reason is that during puberty, the ovaries are not fully developed, and part of the menstrual period at this time is anovulatory. Without ovulation, there is no progesterone, and without progesterone, there is a lack of progesterone. Therefore, the uterine wall can only be in the reproductive period and cannot achieve a healthy metabolism period, so that the uterine wall does not fall off completely, affecting the contraction of the uterus and causing excessive menstruation. If this kind of situation is not paid attention to, in the long run, symptoms of anemia such as pale complexion, fatigue, dizziness, etc. may appear, and medical treatment should be sought.

Menstrual volume discrimination

Generally, 30ml of menstrual flow is too little, and 80ml is too much. The normal amount should be 60ml each time. This requires us to pay attention to the demand for sanitary napkins on a regular basis, and each cycle should not exceed a few packs (10 pieces/pack). If three packs of sanitary napkins are not enough each time and one sanitary napkin is completely wet, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy; on the contrary, if one pack is not used up every time during menstruation, it means that the menstrual flow is too light and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Light menstrual flow

What is a light period?

Low menstrual volume is also known as scanty menstruation and scanty menstruation. It is generally believed that menstrual volume less than 30ml is equivalent to irregular menstruation in Western medicine. The causes of the disease can be divided into real and false. False ones are mostly due to physical weakness, major diseases, long-term illness, excessive blood loss, or diet and fatigue that damage the spleen, or sexual fatigue that damages the kidneys, which lead to blood sea deficiency and little menstrual flow; real ones are mostly due to blood stasis, or stagnation of dampness and phlegm, which obstruct the meridians, poor blood circulation, and decreased menstruation.

Everyone knows that women rely on blood for sex, and normal and regular menstruation reflects a woman's normal reproductive endocrine system. If the menstrual flow is small or the quality of the menstrual period is poor, there will not be enough menstruation and high-quality nutrients for the normal development of the fetus after pregnancy, which can easily lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or fetal arrest.
