What is meant by the menstrual cycle?
If a woman has a regular period, the time interval from the day her period starts to the day before her next period is 28-30 days.
Even if the time interval is from 21 to 35 days, it is considered equally regular. The amount of bleeding is very subjective. Some women have a short and not very abundant menstrual flow, others have it painful, long and very abundant since the first menstruation. A normal blood loss of about 80 ml in total is usually calculated with the consumption of sanitary pads. Normal blood flow lasts about 5-7 days, becoming more abundant in the first 2-3 days and gradually reducing to darker losses in the last few days.Even in the absence of pathologies, the amount of blood varies greatly from woman to woman and even in the same subject, if there are variations in climate, nutrition or in times of stress. Sometimes it can be linked to DNA. A regular cycle in terms of rhythm, quantity and duration indicates a balance and certainly reassures us about our state of health, but often interferes with special occasions or work, especially if it comes with severe pain and a general state of malaise or if it is too much abundant. However, when the menstruation fails, then we fear for some pathology, for some uterus problem, we suspect it is a premature menopause or an unwanted pregnancy at that moment.
They still hear in the family DIY tips to stop menstruation. Nature as we have said above should always take its course, also because these home systems could be of dubious validity. Cold water could reduce bleeding, as the cold constricts blood vessels and causes the uterus to contract. The heat, on the other hand, can increase it, even if it decreases the pain (the famous hot bag on the belly, in case of severe uterine pain). Ice, on the other hand, acts as a hemostatic and can stop bleeding.
However, blocking or postponing the menstrual flow is never advisable, as it means altering an important physiological process, to which not only the health of your body but also the possibility of procreation, fertility and, therefore, should be done only if advised of the gynecologist is indispensable for a serious pathology.
