how long do a period last
The bleeding and cramps are the most obvious signs that a woman is having her menstrual period, and therefore are used as the indications that the period has started and stopped. Regular monthly menstrual periods are normal for women between puberty and menopause, except when pregnant. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other official health authorities, a normal period can range anywhere from two days to seven days in length.
