Patient's question:
Previously, my period was always very normal, but recently I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the menstrual cramps are severe. Please ask: How should I treat menstrual irregularity if my menstrual flow is light?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a menstrual period typically lasts 3 to 7 days. If it's less than 3 days, it's considered short; if it's more than 7 days, it's considered long. The normal range for menstrual flow is 5 to 80 milliliters. If it's less than 5 milliliters, it's considered light bleeding; if it's more than 80 milliliters, it's considered heavy bleeding. In your case, the menstrual flow is normal, but the period is short. In terms of care, it's recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
