Is it normal to have your period for only two days every time?

Patient's question:

I always have my period for two days every time. I heard from others that young people can have it for up to 5 days. Is it normal for me to be like this? I'm only 24 years old. Moreover, I always have severe pain every time. What should I do?
First follow-up question: Everything else is normal, but I had appendicitis a while ago, and it's already healed, but it's still like this. Is it enough to just strengthen my nutrition? Is there really no problem?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of the symptoms you mentioned is primarily considered to be due to insufficient qi and blood or the possibility of cold in the uterus caused by exposure to cold.
For such issues, it is recommended to actively visit a gynecological department in the hospital for an ultrasound examination and blood routine test to see better. Once the cause is diagnosed, targeted treatment can be considered. Additionally, it is important to avoid spicy and cold foods. If diagnosed, timely medication to replenish qi and nourish blood is advisable.
