Patient's question:
Doctor, is it normal for my menstrual flow to be less on the third day of my period this month? Previously, it was heavy for the first 5 days, so why is it so little this time?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the duration of menstruation is 3 to 5 days. On the third day, the menstrual flow is the heaviest, and it gradually increases. The situation you mentioned is very normal. Menstruation is primarily caused by the shedding and peeling of the endometrium. If the endometrium is thicker, the menstrual flow will be heavier. The amount of menstruation varies each month, and the normal range is 80 to 100 milliliters.
