Is it normal for menstruation to last 4 days?

Every woman will have her period when she reaches a certain age, usually between three to seven days. It is normal for it to be over in four days, so don't worry too much. During menstruation, you need to choose breathable sanitary napkins and don't wear tight clothes. You should also pay attention to rest and nutrition, etc. You should not have sex during menstruation and must pay attention to hygiene.

Precautions during menstruation: Avoid being emotionally excited or overworked. During menstruation, pay attention to arranging your work and rest time reasonably, avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor, and combine work and rest. Otherwise, the pelvic cavity will become further congested, blood flow will accelerate, and excessive menstrual bleeding and other adverse phenomena will occur. Avoid being exposed to cold, eating raw, cold or fried food. It is not suitable to have sexual intercourse, take a sitz bath, wear tight pants, or have a physical examination.

Reasons for scanty menstrual flow include:

Congenital factors: congenital uterine hypoplasia, small uterus, thin endometrium, and scanty menstrual flow. Acquired factors: physical weakness, serious illness, long-term illness; anemia, malnutrition; endocrine dysfunction; cold uterus, uterine abnormalities; high work pressure, tension, sudden strong mental stimulation; long-term use of contraceptives; weight loss; abortion, childbirth, weaning; frequent sexual intercourse; endometrial adhesion and damage; other drug reasons.

The menstrual cycle is the number of days between two menstrual periods. The WHO standard (guideline) states that a menstrual cycle of 24-35 days is normal. The menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation.
