How many days can my period last?

From the first day of menstruation to the last day of menstruation, the menstrual period will normally last for 2 to 3 days with heavy bleeding. The average person's menstrual period does not last more than seven days, and it will end in about three or six days. This is a normal phenomenon. Some people's menstruation may last more than ten days or half a month, which is an abnormal phenomenon, so the maximum duration of menstruation is seven days.

The first day of each menstrual bleeding is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the time interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days, and 7 days early or late is considered normal. Under normal circumstances, each menstrual bleeding lasts 2 to 7 days, and the amount of blood loss each time is about 50 to 100 ml. However, the amount of blood loss during menstruation is not easy to calculate. It can only be roughly estimated by how many times you change sanitary pads each day. The highest amount of blood loss is on the 2nd to 3rd day.

During menstruation, due to congestion of pelvic organs, women may feel a heaviness in the lower abdomen and lumbar region.

The ovulation date of women in the ovulatory period is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Starting from the first day of the next menstrual period, counting down 14 days or subtracting 14 days is the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after the ovulation day are called the ovulation period. For example, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days, and the first day of this menstruation is December 2nd. Then the next menstruation will be on December 30th (December 2nd plus 28 days). Subtract 14 days from December 30th, and December 16th is the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after it, that is, December 11-20, is the ovulation period. Except for the menstrual period and ovulation period, the rest of the time is the safe period. There is no need to use any contraceptive drugs or tools during sexual intercourse during the safe period. The safe period calendar varies greatly from person to person due to individual physical differences, so it is for reference only.

Changes in ovulation period In a woman's physiological cycle, some special things happen not only during menstruation. During ovulation, women also experience emotional and physical changes. For example, women are most creative during ovulation and are more attractive to men.

During ovulation, women's bodies will undergo some changes due to fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels.

Change 1. Changes in basal body temperature

During a menstrual cycle, the basal body temperature of normal women of childbearing age is lower before ovulation and rises after ovulation. Generally, the temperature difference between the two can reach about 0.5℃, showing a typical biphasic body temperature curve. This body temperature curve indicates that the ovaries have ovulation function, and the junction of the high and low body temperature curves is the ovulation date of the ovaries.

Change 2: Cervix and cervical mucus

During the ovulation cycle, the cervix is ​​affected by estrogen and progesterone, causing changes in secretion and opening and closing. As the follicles develop, the secretion of estrogen increases, the cervix relaxes and opens, the amount of mucus increases, the viscosity is minimal, and it is clear and transparent like egg white, and the tension (stringiness) gradually increases; after ovulation, under the influence of progesterone, the amount of mucus secretion rapidly decreases and thickens, and the cervix closes.

Change 3: Ovulation pain

It is a symptom of ovulation. About 1/3 of women experience ovulation pain. The pain occurs in the lower abdomen on the ovulation side and is severe pain or persistent dull pain that lasts for 6-12 hours. During ovulation, due to the increase of prostaglandins in the body, the pressure in the follicular fluid cavity increases, and the surface of the ovary will rupture to release the egg. This rupture process can cause lower abdominal pain in some sensitive women.
