Is it normal if the menstrual period is only one day with a light flow?

Patient's question:

I only learned in university that the normal menstrual period for women is usually three to seven days. However, my period is light, and it often stops after just one day. I'm worried that there might be something wrong with my body. I want to ask if it's normal for the period to be so short and only last one day?

Doctor's answer:

It should be abnormal. Consider the issue of reduced menstrual flow. The normal menstrual period is approximately 3 to 7 days long. It is recommended to take medication for regulation, which can be supplemented with dietary measures, such as brown sugar water or ginger sugar water. Carefully observe for a period of time. If necessary, medication can be used, such as Qizhi Xiangfu pills, Eryngo Cream, or Poria Red Date Granules. It is better to follow medical advice when taking medication. Remember not to use it blindly.
