How long is considered normal for menstruation?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask how long is considered normal from the time menstruation starts until it ends? I usually finish in 5-6 days. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

The normal menstrual period of an average woman is about 5 days long, with a menstrual cycle of approximately 28 days. Sometimes, factors such as mental stress, excessive pressure, or other gynecological issues can cause changes in the menstrual period. Since your period this month is 5 days long, it falls within the normal range and does not require immediate treatment. It is recommended to maintain a positive mood and avoid excessive worry. If your period is abnormal next month, it is advisable to visit a hospital for examination. If there are no abnormalities, you can continue to feel at ease.
