If menstruation is not normal, it means that our body may have problems, so what does normal menstruation look like? How should we judge whether menstruation is normal?
1. Normal menstrual cycle
From the first day of menstruation to the next menstruation, we call it a menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, the menstrual cycle in 21-37 days are normal, and most people's menstrual cycle for 28-30 days). If the menstrual cycle is less than 21 days, that is what we call menstruation frequency; If the menstrual cycle is more than 37 days, or more than 7 days of their normal menstrual cycle, it may be menstrual thinning.
In fact, some people's menstrual cycle is more than 37 days, and some even have menstruation once every two months. But as long as the menstruation is regular and there are no symptoms of discomfort, it is normal.
2. Normal menstrual period
From menstruation to the end of menstruation, it is called menstrual period (namely vaginal bleeding period). The menstrual period is generally 3-7 days. If the duration is less than 3 days, it is called short menstrual period; If the menstrual period is longer than 7 days, it is called long menstrual cycle.
3. Normal menstrual volume
Normal menstrual blood volume is 20-80ml, if less than 20ml is hypomenorrhea, if more than 80ml is menorrhea, most people's menstrual volume is about 50ml. Generally speaking, the second and third day of menstruation is the period with the most menstrual volume, and then it will gradually decrease.
4. Normal menstrual blood
Menstrual blood is a mixture of blood and cervical mucus, vaginal secretions and endometrial debris. Normal menstrual blood is dark red, slightly sticky, not easy to clot, a closer look will see some small pieces.
Why can menstruation have clot sometimes?
If the menstrual blood is blocked in the same area for some reasons and is not eliminated in time, it will form a blood clot, which is usually easy to appear when you just get up in the morning or after sitting for a long time.
How is menstrual blood having peculiar smell to return a responsibility?
Many people find that the private parts of the menstrual period are easy to produce peculiar smell, because the menstrual blood is mixed with blood, endometrium, sebum secretion and sweat, it is easy to emit obvious peculiar smell. The most simple and effective way to avoid the peculiar smell of the menstrual period is to pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts and change the sanitary napkin frequently.
How to distinguish between menstrual blood and vaginal bleeding
There are two cases of vaginal bleeding, one is normal menstruation, the other is vaginal bleeding, if it is vaginal bleeding, it may be sick, we should be vigilant, so how can we distinguish between menstrual bleeding or vaginal bleeding?
A look at the regularity of time, irregular vaginal bleeding time is uncertain, and menstruation generally has a fixed cycle;
Second, look at the amount of bleeding, irregular vaginal bleeding may be only a small amount of bleeding or sudden massive bleeding, may also be manifested as bloody leucorrhea or contact bleeding, and menstruation will be bleeding regular blood volume changes.
In addition, if the amount of bleeding during menstruation suddenly increases, such as more than twice the usual amount of blood, or the duration of menstruation is too long, it may also be irregular bleeding, it is recommended to see a doctor in time.
