During menstruation, girls need to check if their menstrual cycle is in a normal state. If this menstrual cycle is abnormal, they need to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner to avoid missing the treatment time. So, let's learn together how much menstrual flow is within the normal range every day?
The amount of menstrual flow is mainly evaluated based on the total amount of the entire menstrual cycle. A normal range for menstrual flow in a menstrual cycle is between 20 and 80 milliliters. If the overall amount is less than 20 milliliters, it is called oligomenorrhea; If the total amount exceeds 80 milliliters, it indicates excessive menstruation and may cause anemia in women.
How to evaluate the amount of a menstrual cycle is mainly based on the amount of sanitary pads used, which is a normal daily sanitary pad. If you lose about half, it's about ten milliliters, and if you're completely soaked, it's about 20 milliliters. If the sanitary pads used at night are completely soaked, the amount is about 30 to 40 milliliters. You can count how many sanitary pads you have used in a menstrual cycle by yourself.
If the menstrual flow is less than 20 milliliters, it belongs to insufficient menstrual flow, which is generally related to factors such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, or qi stagnation and blood stasis. If the menstrual flow exceeds 80 milliliters, it is considered excessive menstrual flow. Excessive menstrual flow can be divided into three types: Qi deficiency type, blood heat type, and blood stasis type. Traditional Chinese medicine requires differentiation of symptoms and targeted treatment based on specific causes.
In summary, whether it is excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, it is closely related to the imbalance of sex hormone levels in the body. If the menstrual flow is low or high, it is necessary to check the six indicators of sex hormones. On the second or third day of the menstrual period, abdominal blood tests should be taken to obtain relatively accurate results, and then targeted treatment should be considered based on the indicators.
