What is the menstrual cycle from?

Ask
Hello doctor. My menstrual cycle is usually on the 4th. But on the 3rd, I see some discharge and the color is not red like other menstrual days. So should I count day 3 or day 4 as the first day of my period? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Answer
Hello. The menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of menstruation until the first day of the next menstrual period. So your menstrual period this month starts from the 3rd. To accurately determine your menstrual cycle, women should observe at least 3-4 months and record the number of days that the cycle rotates. come back. The number of days of a cycle should be close to each other or not too much, or your menstrual cycle calculation will not be really accurate. Normally, a menstrual period will last about 28-30 days, it can be 3-5 days faster or slower. Menstruation lasts 3-5 days.
Knowing your menstrual cycle will help you calculate when you ovulate to increase your chances of conceiving later.
