How many days does menstruation usually last?

Menstruation is a weather chart of women’s physical and mental health. If menstruation is normal, the body will be healthier. But does having periods every month mean that you are physically and mentally healthy? Many women think wrongly, it also depends on whether the number of days your period lasts is within the normal range! So, how many days of menstruation are normal?

How many days does a menstrual period usually last? Is this normal?

Because each woman's physical fitness, diet, schedule and other lifestyles are different, there is no fixed time for everyone to have their period. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a menstrual period to last 3-7 days.

However, due to the high pressure in life, work and other aspects of life, the menstrual period is easily affected and changed. Many women's menstrual period may be too short, lasting only one or two days, or too long, not even a week, which may have a negative impact on health.

If a menstrual period lasts too short, coming just one or two days and then disappears, this may indicate that there is a nutritional disorder in the body. In particular, many women lose weight through dieting. Perhaps the fat is lost through iodine, but the body is lacking in nutrition. If the nutrition is insufficient, the blood circulation of the body will be affected immediately, which may affect the normal menstrual period. If a menstrual period lasts too long, more than a week, the body's blood and qi will easily become insufficient, which is not good for physical and mental health, so women need to pay attention to it.

According to the above understanding, we also know that three days and seven days of menstruation are actually considered normal conditions. To say which one is healthier, this also depends on a standard value - the amount of menstruation. Generally speaking, during the days of menstruation, it is normal for the menstrual volume to be between 20-60ml. Too little or too much is obviously not good for health.
