If your period is heavy enough to require changing it more often than every one or two hours, or if you have a period that lasts more than a full week, you may have heavy menstrual periods.n fact, many women begin to experience heavy and/or irregular bleeding in their 30s and 40s. Keep in mind it is common for periods to vary in duration and flow, and normal periods can vary from one woman to the next. But the easiest way to gauge your periods is to ask yourself how often you change your pad or tampon.
What Is Very Light Period? Despite menstrual cycles vary from person to person, a normal period among women is approximately once in every 28 days. Typically, each period lasts from 4 to 7 days. During menstruation, the amount of lost blood ranges from 50 to 150 ml. Consequently, less than 50 milliliters may be considered a very light period. So, light periods are menstrual flows with unusually light occurance or rather short duration of blood loss. Light periods are not just the same as âamenorrheaâ, or complete absence of menstrual periods.
