Is it normal to have a menstrual health score of 65?

First of all, I need to give you reassurance - there is currently no unified "menstrual health scoring standard" in clinical practice. The 65 points you get are most likely the reference points given by menstrual management APPs or online popular science self-test questions. They cannot be equated with "sickness/abnormality" at all. You really don't need to panic.

In fact, this score is logically similar to the sleep score and vitality value measured by wearing a smart bracelet. They are reference values ​​calculated by the platform based on a general template and are not authoritative diagnostic results. When I was doing Q&A with fans last week, I met a little girl from 1998 who asked me if I was going to have amenorrhea with a 64-point menstrual period report from an APP. As a result, I asked her about her menstrual period carefully: the cycle is fixed at 33 days, and each period lasts for 4-5 days. There is only a slight menstrual pain on the first day, which does not affect me. She doesn’t need to take painkillers at work, and her six hormone tests and gynecological B-ultrasound last year were all normal. Finally, after looking through the APP’s point deduction rules for a long time, she discovered that she filled in “occasionally drinking iced milk tea during menstruation” and “staying up late 3-5 times a month.” These two items directly deducted 25 points, which made her laugh and cry.

Of course, different practitioners do have different opinions on the value of such self-assessment scores. Many clinical obstetricians and gynecologists feel that this type of score has little reference significance. After all, everyone's menstrual cycle baseline is too far apart. Some people have menstrual period every 40 days, which is very regular and does not affect fertility. You cannot be given a low score just because you do not meet the so-called "28-day standard cycle." ； However, some colleagues who do gynecology popularization think that this score is not completely useless. It is more like a small warning light that you carry with you - if you have been measuring 80 or 90 points for most of the past six months, and suddenly dropped to around 60 points in the last two or three consecutive months, and at the same time, When dysmenorrhea becomes so severe that it cannot be suppressed even with painkillers, when the amount of menstruation suddenly changes to the point where a sanitary napkin can be seen every hour, or when menstrual bleeding is not clean for 10 days, the body is indeed sending a signal, either to adjust the daily routine or diet, or to go to the hospital for a check-up.

After all, if you really want to judge whether your menstrual period is healthy or not, there is no need to dwell on that number. The core thing is to look at three points: whether there are any obvious abnormal changes compared with your usual menstrual status, whether there are any discomforts that affect your normal work and life, and whether there are any abnormalities in the routine gynecological examination. If there are no problems with these three points, even if the test scores 50 points, you don’t need to take it seriously at all.
