How many days does my period usually last?

"Aunt Flo" is an image-based name for women's menstruation, which shows that women have a very deep understanding of menstruation. Although menstruation can bring benefits to women's physical health, it will greatly affect women's lives during the menstrual period. For example, women's physical fitness will decline significantly, and this process will last for several days. Let's take a look at how many days it usually takes for menstruation to end. I hope women can understand this.

The menstrual cycle refers to the number of days between the first days of two menstrual periods, which is generally 28-30 days. It is still normal if it is advanced or delayed by about 3 days. The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstruation, which is generally 3-7 days. The amount of menstrual bleeding is about 30-80 ml. Menstrual blood is alkaline, dark red, odorless, viscous and non-coagulated. It contains sloughed endometrial fragments, cervical mucus, and sloughed vaginal epithelium. The first menstruation is called menarche, and the age of onset is mostly between 13 and 15 years old, and varies from individual to individual. Menstruation generally does not affect women's life and work, but sometimes pelvic congestion causes soreness and distension in the lumbar and sacral region and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen.

Precautions during menstruation:

Pay attention to hygiene. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently and should not be used continuously for more than two hours (except when sleeping at night). If not replaced in time, the moist environment on the sanitary napkin will breed a large number of bacteria and infect the reproductive system.

Keep warm. Especially the abdomen and feet. You can add a warm waistband to the abdomen to prevent the uterus from getting cold. The feet are parts that are easily invaded by cold evil, so you must wear socks, even in summer. If you are in an air-conditioned room, you should wear more clothes or cover yourself with a quilt.

Avoid contact with water. It doesn’t mean that you can’t touch any water, but try not to touch cold water. You can’t take a bath in a tub, you must take a shower. It is best not to wash your hair during menstruation. If it is really unbearable, be sure to wash your hair with warm water, and then use a hair dryer to dry the hair on the top of your head. Never go to bed with wet hair.

Don't overwork. Excessive physical labor or strenuous exercise may increase menstrual flow or make it difficult to clean up. Therefore, don't try to be stubborn and don't force yourself to do things that you cannot bear.
