What's the normal menstrual flow?
Let's teach you how to quickly judge the health of menstruation ~
Texture of menstruation
○ Sticky: Menstrual blood also contains endometrium and sticky secretions, so normal menstruation is sticky, a little sticky ~
○ Blood clots: When menstrual flow is high, it is easy to form large and small blood clots, especially after getting up in the morning or sitting for a long time, don't worry too much ~ But there will be more blood clots in babies with iron deficiency anemia!
○ There is something like meat: if you are not pregnant, just the endometrium falls off!
Thin as water: at the end of the menstrual period and when taking birth control pills, menstruation becomes thinner and lighter. It is also possible that your estrogen level is low! If there are still symptoms such as dryness in the shade, headache and depression, it is recommended to go to the hospital for enquiry!
The color of menstruation.

○ Crimson or brown: On the second or third day of the holiday, the flow rate decreases, the blood is easy to oxidize and the color becomes darker, which is normal! Don't believe in qi deficiency and palace cold!
○ Pale red or pink: (excluding early pregnancy) The color of blood mixed with normal secretions in premenstrual period.
○ Brown secretion: a small amount when relatives leave quickly? The phenomenon of oxidation is normal ~ If it lasts more than 1 week, we should pay attention to whether there are other diseases.
Black: menstruation is close to black and gives off an unpleasant smell, or accompanied by fever, dysuria, stomachache, etc. , may be a vaginal obstruction. Please consult a doctor as soon as possible!
Orange-red: If there is a heavy odor or other discomfort at the same time, it is likely to be a bacterial negative infection!
Gray: Same as above!
The smell of menstruation.
○ Fishy smell: Menstruation is a mixture, so it is normal to have fishy smell and salty taste.
If sanitary napkins and tampons are made of poor materials, it will also promote bacterial reproduction and produce odor. In addition, be sure to change the menstrual towel frequently.
○ rotten eggs: it may be gynecological inflammation!
Menstrual blood volume
○ lasting 2-7 days: normal.
& lt2 days: If it is much less than usual, it is necessary to check whether there is endometrial damage.
& gt8 days: Endocrine disorders, mood swings, excessive fatigue and many other reasons can cause it. Go to the hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination!
○ Use 3-5 sanitary napkins/tampons every day: The total amount of normal menstruation is generally 20-80ml, and there is no problem within this range!
Sanitary napkins are full every hour: or you have to get up in the middle of the night to change sanitary napkins, that is, there is too much bleeding! It may be caused by drugs or other problems, so you need to consult a doctor to find out the specific reasons.
(of course! What I'm talking about here is a normal physiological period, not menstrual bleeding! )
