Chinese medicine teaches you how to judge normal menstruation

　　Menstruation is one of the things that every woman must undergo. Due to various reasons, breast pain, stomach ache、low back pain , headaches and other menstrual diseases, which in severe cases can lead to menstrual disorders, Dysmenorrhea、amenorrhea wait. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to judge whether such menstrual symptoms are normal.

　　1. Menstrual cycle

　　The average menstrual cycle for women is 28 to 30 days, but some people have menstruation every 40 days. But as long as there is regularity, it is normal. In addition, menstruation is easily affected by many factors, so it is normal for menstruation to arrive 3 to 5 days early or late.

　　If the menstrual cycle is 20 days this time and 40 days next time, and this happens often, some menstruation comes for 1 to 2 days, and then comes for 1 to 2 days after more than 10 days, and the periodicity is lost. This is a Irregular menstruation . When a girl reaches menarche, her ovaries have just developed and their functions are not yet complete, so they will experience functional disorders and irregularities. This is not a pathological phenomenon.

　　2. Menstrual period (also called menstrual period)

　　A woman's menstrual period lasts approximately 2 to 5 days. The general rule of menstruation is that there is not much menstrual blood on the first day, it increases on the second and third days, and then gradually decreases until the menstrual blood is clean. This is because the first day Uterus The shedding of the endometrium has just begun. On the second or third day, the shedding of the endometrium increases, and the amount of bleeding also increases. The uterus is stimulated, strengthens its contraction, and discharges a large amount of menstrual blood.

　　For some people, after the menstrual blood is gone, it will come again a day or two later, which is commonly known as "return of menstrual blood". This is not a disease, but a normal phenomenon. However, some women's menstrual periods last for 10 to 20 days, with endless menstruation; some women's menstrual periods are extremely short, passing by in a "flash". Both of these phenomena are abnormal.

　　3. Menstrual blood color

　　Normal blood is dark red and is mixed with small fragments of shed endometrium, cervical mucus, vaginal epithelial cells, and no blood clots. If menstrual blood is as thin as water, only a little pink or black and purple, it is abnormal. If the menstrual blood is completely clotted, which is not normal, and there may be other bleeding areas, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible to ensure that your health healthy。
