How many days does the menstrual period usually last?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: How many days does the menstrual period usually last to be considered normal?

Doctor's answer:

A normal menstrual period lasts 3-7 days. Based on your description, an extended menstrual period could be due to conditions such as endometritis, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, an intrauterine device (IUD), or low estrogen levels in the body. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for an ultrasound or a six-item sex hormone test, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
During your period, it is important to keep warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimuli to prevent the invasion of cold pathogens; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, and enhance nutrition to strengthen your body; and try to control intense emotional fluctuations, avoid strong mental stimulation, and maintain a happy mood.
