What's wrong with my period only coming for one day?

The normal menstrual cycle of women should be between 3 and 7 days, and the fastest should end in three days. Some people's menstruation only lasts for one day. It depends on whether it is menstruation and whether it is within the menstrual cycle. For example, if menstruation suddenly comes just a few weeks after the end of menstruation, it is not necessarily menstruation. It may be abnormal physiological bleeding or pathological bleeding. The cause needs to be carefully judged.
