Is heavy menstruation normal?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, my menstruation has been going on for several months. The duration is quite long, lasting about eleven or twelve days to clean up. The first six or seven days have a very small amount, while the last six or seven days have a lot. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

A woman's menstrual blood volume of 30~50 milliliters is considered normal, less than 20 milliliters is oligomenorrhea, and more than 80 milliliters is menorrhagia. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Without a face-to-face consultation with the patient, the above suggestions are for reference only. Please consult and undergo examination with a doctor at the hospital.
Irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
