When I have my period, I only have a little bit of blood.

During menstruation, if there is only a little bit of light blood, it may be caused by gynecological inflammation. You should go to the hospital for a leucorrhea examination and perform urine routine tests to determine whether it is caused by gynecological diseases. We know that the amount of menstruation, the length of menstruation and the condition of leucorrhea can be used to preliminarily determine whether it is healthy. Attention should be paid to this aspect.

1. Menstrual period

The period of vaginal bleeding is called the menstrual period. For most people, the menstrual period lasts 3-5 days, but as little as 1-2 days and as much as 7-8 days is also considered normal.

2. Menstrual cycle

The period from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For the vast majority of people, the menstrual cycle is between 28-35 days, but for a few, it can be as short as 20 days or as long as 45 days. Within the above range, as long as the menstruation is regular, it is normal.

3. Characteristics of menstrual blood

The characteristic of menstrual blood is that it does not coagulate and is dark red. In addition to blood, menstrual blood also contains fragments of endometrial lining, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells.

The amount of menstrual blood during a normal menstrual period is 20-120 ml, most of which is 50 ml. It is highest on the second or third day of menstruation and then gradually decreases. Normal menstruation is a manifestation of normal development and sound function of female internal reproductive organs.

Most women have no obvious symptoms during menstruation, but a few may experience breast swelling, headache, insomnia, palpitations, lower abdominal pain, and emotional instability.
