I need your help so that my period can last three days only instead of the current five days. All my friends claim that their own periods only last for three days. Then why is my own like that?

Normal menstruation can last from one to seven days, although for most women with regular menstrual cycles, their period lasts an average of three to five days. It’s important to note that nothing is wrong if your period is a couple of days longer or shorter than the average three to five days. In other words, your period is unique to you and the amount you bleed and the number of days will not be the same as everyone else. In addition, your period can vary a bit from cycle to cycle and this is normal. Sometimes, though, lifestyle changes, birth control methods, and certain medical problems can affect your period more significantly.
