How to judge whether menstruation is normal or not

Menstruation is an important physiological characteristic of women and also a barometer of women's health. Normal and regular menstruation not only means that the female gynecological system is functioning normally, but also indicates that all organ systems in the body are functioning normally.

So, how can female friends judge whether their menstruation is normal or not?

(1) Check the color of menstrual blood.

Normal menstrual blood is generally red or dark red. If it appears black or accompanied by black blood clots, or appears light red, it is abnormal.

(2) Check the duration of menstruation.

Normal menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days. A period of less than 2 days is called a short menstruation, and a period of more than 7 days is called a prolonged menstruation.

(3) Check the amount of menstruation.

Menstrual volume refers to the total amount of blood loss during one menstrual period. Normal menstrual blood loss is 30-50 ml. It is generally believed that a monthly blood loss of more than 80 ml is considered a pathological state.

(4) Check the menstrual cycle.

The first day of menstruation is the beginning of the menstrual period, and the interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is a menstrual cycle. Generally, a normal menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days, and it is considered normal if it is advanced or delayed by about 7 days.
