How long are the monthly normal (duration) in women

Menstrual cycle - an individual phenomenon. Every woman should pay attention not only on the volume and characteristics of the discharge, but also on their duration. There are common length regulator standards that are modified by the action of physiological or pathological factors. how long are periods normal, and as a departure from the standard deviation is not considered in this article.

How should begin monthly

The fair sex usually feel the approach of menstruation. This is associated with the period of ischemia accompanied by phase:

1. The endometrium prepares for the rejection.
2. Uterine blood vessels to constrict.
3. Blood supply is drastically reduced.
4. Sometimes there are spasms.

Already in the pre-menstrual period begins progesterone levels fall. Detachment of the endometrium (menstruation start) - occurs when hormone secretion is greatly reduced. Exception - pregnancy, postpartum lactation. At this time, the level of progesterone reduced due to excessive production of prolactin.

Monthly normal spots should begin at the underwear of red, pink or brownish color. Preceded by pain in the lower abdomen. Bleeding is gaining strength after 2-4 hours.

How many days normally have to go monthly

The basic rule of women's health - stability. Gynecologists, responding to a question about how many days go monthly, indicate a period of 4-8 days. When the month are 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 days on a regular basis - this is normal, however, if the duration is sharply reduced or increased (From 4 days to 8 and vice versa) remaining within specified standards should seek the cause of the reaction in such an organism together with doctor.

The nature of the blood secretions of days

Kind of bleeding depends on the day of menstruation - the first major intensity of bleeding It accounts for the second and third day, and the rest of the allocation period have the characteristics of moderate to scarce.
The table shows the changes in the uterus on day of menstruation and their influence on the intensity selections.

physiological changes	intensity discharge
1st day	Starting rejection old mucosal layer	mazhuschie
2nd day	It begins the formation of a new egg	intensity of
3rd day	Damaged wall surface after the old epithelium rejection	abundantly
4th and 5th day	The beginning of healing. It reduces the amount of blood released	Moderate or scarce
6 th and 7 th day	Completion of the uterus and vagina healing process purification	mazhuschie

How must end menstruation

Menses must be terminated as soon as a sufficient volume of blood to stand - from 50 to 80 ml. Secretions are scarce in nature. Monthly brown - hue of clotted blood. Every hour secretion becomes lighter by mixing with natural belyami and cervical mucus. Acceptable vaginal cleansing substance of yellowish color even a day or two.

How often monthly

The normalization of the cycle takes place two years after the first discharge. Responding to a question about how many days of repeated cycle or go monthly, gynecologists say that the phase duration is from 21 to 35 days. Frequent index periodicity - 28 days. The instability of the critical days of the most noticeable:

• in adolescents;
• before menopause.

How many days last month in women over 35 years old and the girls who have not reached the age of majority?

The younger the girl and older woman, the higher vibrations of the timing, so both of them do not survive because of a short menstrual period of 2-3 days. Predklimatichesky puberty and periods of pregnancy - a deviation from the standards which are not pathological.

Teenage years	climacteric	Pregnancy
The physiological norm for a normal (not artificially induced) first menstrual period - 11-14 years. The girl loop is formed and installed during the first two years, respectively, from 11 to 16 years duration discharges may reach the minimum rates of 2-3 days.	The older a woman is, the faster the cycle will start reducing. Complete cessation of menstruation usually occurs before 50 years, characterized by a complete absence of ovulatory phase - the inability to fertilize an egg.	Not always with the onset of pregnancy cycle is terminated immediately. Brief separation in the first trimester tested as saline protses, resulting in partial cessation of hormone production by the ovaries.

This does not mean that teenage girls, mature or pregnant women are protected from disease-causing factors.

Identical symptoms are usually present in endometriosis in women older than 45 years or polycystic ovaries in young women.

What should not be at the monthly allocation

Knowing what month is considered normal, with information on the volume, color, duration, you can set or refute the presence of unnatural processes.

Features selections

Among the common types of discharge, indicating the violation, note the following:

Aberration	displays features
Spotting brownish	If there are a few days before the beginning of the month
Thick brown	If there are 5-7 days before menstruation
clots	Duration 7 days - a natural phenomenon. If your period does not end more than a week - a sign of failure.
scarce	Too small amount of secretions
pink	Light coloured the color of blood during menstruationLike water
Brown, mucous	Individual auxiliary manifestation of symptoms

Any change in the nature of menstruation can affect the duration of the discharge.

duration of bleeding

Realizing how much on average are menstruating woman self-conscious, too short or their menstruation complete absence disclose a violation as a normal blood volume is not allocated, the old epithelium is not updated. Excessively profuse discharge with a lot of blood loss - is also an unfavorable sign. The body is depleted, losing up to 100 ml of blood per month (above normal):

1. Short periods - reduced ovarian activity.
2. Prolonged menstruation - violation hemoglobin synthesis due to lack of iron deficiency anemia.

In both disorders, equally affect hormonal changes. Intermenstrual discharge is considered a symptom characteristic of the problems with the endocrine system. Among the more dangerous deviations - pathology of the female organs. There is a possibility of further complications of serious diseases of the reproductive system (infertility, cancer, chronic disease).

Interpretation
anovulation	Absence of the first and second phases
spanomenorrhea	Reducing the duration of
polimenoreya	increased duration
metrorrhagia	Bleeding not associated with menstruation

Before starting treatment, it is important to understand that was the impetus for the emergence of the disease. There are a number of factors influencing the reduction or increase in the days of menstruation.

What affects the duration of the regulation

Based on the genetic characteristics of the structure of the genital organs, blood clotting, hormone secretion is established approximate characteristic controller, so the women of one family the intensity, volume, variety and duration of menstruation often the same.

Age affects the condition of the ovaries, body composition, metabolism, and psycho-emotional health. Because of the change of these criteria are continuing differences of secretion of substances and the duration of menstruation depends on the work of hormone producing glands.

Among the independent factors on the state of women's health affect any temperature, climate, natural changes.

Factor	additional pathogen	aftermath
CNS disorders work	Stress, depression, fatigue	Excessive secretion of cortisol (stress hormone)
Diseases of the female organs	Infection, inflammation, heredity, ovarian dysfunction	Report structure mucosal organs, tissue damage (copious hemorrhage)
Change of the endocrine system	Malfunction of the endocrine system	failure cycle
malnutrition	Overeating, starvation	Hormonal imbalance due to the loss of vitamins
Ecological situation	Changing climatic conditions	Longer briefly

Combating negative factors to start with lifestyle changes, which plays an active role in the formation of a stable cycle.

The regular alternation of work and rest, no surge, regular maintenance of muscle tone, limitations in loads, adequate diet and sleep - the first steps towards normalization of regulation.

How to lead in the monthly rate

After the elimination of negative factors menstruation becomes a kind of corresponding standards, how we should go monthly correctly. But there are exceptions that require additional therapy. It should be noted, if the selection does not run out at the end of the week, duration became longer increased the intensity of the flow of menstruation or periods not go on time (not the first time). In the process of self-help issues and to facilitate the flow of menses, the following recommendations:

Recommendation	Result
Cancel hormonal drugs (synthetic progesterone; progestin)	artificial menses
Drinking water standards daily (30 ml per 1 kg body weight)	Getting rid of bloating and fluid retention in the body
Personal hygiene: regular showering, using funds to care for intimate areas; timely replacement of tampons or pads	Reducing the risk of infection in the uterus during ajar
Not combined oral contraceptives	Getting rid of intermenstrual spotting

Tips for self-recovery suit only in cases where a change of how the monthly flow, there is one or a couple of times and there is no pain. In other cases it is necessary to pass a timely medical course.

Before treatment of this problem, first of all eliminate the chance of pregnancy to consult a gynecologist.

Should consult a doctor who will prescribe procedures such as:

• ultrasound;
• Analysis of urine for infection;
• collection of blood on hormones;
• smear;
• colposcopy.

The resulting materials will point to the lack of or the development of pathological disorders of the fact, what are or may be in a particular month of the fair sex. Gynecologist prescribe individualized treatment consisting of oral, oral drugs, especially the regime of the day. Self-medication is strictly prohibited, as some medications increase the production of hormones by reducing the secretion of other substances.

For additional assistance, refer to the endocrinologist, and therapist (to identify stress factors affecting the cycle and to establish the characteristics of hormonal).

The modified duration of menstruation - not always a pathological factor. It is important to pay attention to a genetic predisposition, environmental influences, lifestyle. Time specific pathogen eliminate the violation by a correction mode of the day and eliminate adverse conditions. Regular crashes for no apparent reason - a reason for the timely prevention of infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases, fertility restoration of ovarian function.
