The difference between false menstruation and true menstruation

Women need to face the trouble of menstruation every month. The arrival of menstruation is generally very regular and has a fixed cycle. The menstrual cycle of most female friends is about 28 days. If irregular bleeding suddenly occurs, it is very likely that this is not real menstruation but false menstruation. Let’s take a look at the difference between false menstruation and true menstruation.

What is the difference between false menstruation and true menstruation?

(1) The two occurred at different times

The fertilized egg implants about 6 days after fertilization. At this time, female friends generally do not have obvious abnormal reactions, but a few women may have a small amount of pink or red vaginal bleeding. The actual menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days on average, so if bleeding occurs during this cycle, it means that you are menstruating.

(2) Blood color is different

Regarding the difference between false menstruation and true menstruation, implantation bleeding is generally considered to be false menstruation, and there is a difference between the two. During menstrual bleeding, the color of blood is generally bright red to dark red, while the bleeding caused by the implantation of the fertilized egg is mostly brown or red.

(3) Different amount of bleeding

What is the difference between false menstruation and true menstruation? We know that the actual menstruation lasts about 2 to 8 days, and the average menstrual cycle for most women is 5-6 days. The amount of bleeding changes from less to more and then less again; while the amount of implantation bleeding is relatively small, and the bleeding lasts only about 2 to 3 days, so it is very easy to distinguish.

The above is an introduction to the difference between false menstruation and true menstruation. The so-called false menstruation refers to vaginal bleeding other than menstruation. In addition to implantation bleeding, there is also ovulation bleeding, lochia, etc. Female friends should pay attention to the distinction and do not always treat it as menstruation. Even if you clearly have the reaction of early pregnancy, you see a little vaginal bleeding and think that menstruation has come. This is very unfavorable for welcoming pregnancy.
