Is it normal to have a menstrual health score of 68?

Looking at this score alone cannot directly give an absolute answer of "normal/abnormal". Currently, the menstrual health scores that are commonly measured are basically self-measurement forms produced by menstrual APPs or popular science platforms. They are not clinical diagnostic standards for obstetrics and gynecology. A score of 68 mostly corresponds to some mild menstrual discomfort. There is no clear pathological indication for the time being. Don't be overly anxious, but don't completely ignore the reminders behind it.

Several girls around me who like to stay up late and have fun in the summer have scored in the 65-70 range. Last month, a little sister in my department came to me in a panic with a 67-point result and asked if she wanted to see a doctor. Her deducted points were basically "menstrual period" On the first day, her back was so sore that she didn’t even want to sit down. She sometimes felt pain for half an hour if she drank ice. She occasionally missed her cycle by 3-4 days. She went to the hospital for six hormone tests and a pelvic ultrasound. There were no problems. The doctor told her to stay up less late and stop showing off her ice cream before her period.

Of course, many clinical obstetricians and gynecologists feel that this kind of self-assessment score has limited reference value. After all, subjective feelings account for a high proportion when filling out the form. Many people will unconsciously magnify their discomfort. Originally, dysmenorrhea is only a faint feeling. When filling out the form, they select "obvious discomfort", and the score will naturally be In their eyes, as long as there are no typical abnormal signs such as continuous bleeding for more than 7 days during menstruation, heavy menstrual flow that soaks the entire nighttime sanitary napkin for 1-2 hours, painful menstruation that makes it impossible to work and go to school, and non-menstrual bleeding, even if the score is just above the passing line, it is not considered a pathological abnormality. However, there are also many popular science writers who focus on women’s health who will pay more attention to the reminder significance of such scores. After all, most of the deduction items in the 60-70 point range are still in the stage of functional discomfort affected by lifestyle habits. If you can adjust your work and rest and pay attention to menstrual care at this time, you can nip small problems in the bud. It is much more worry-free than waiting until organic lesions appear before intervening.

In fact, if you use an analogy, you will understand. This kind of menstrual period score is similar to the sleep score measured by the smart bracelet on your hand. A score of 60 or more does not mean that you have a sleep disorder. At most, it means that you have stayed up late and dreamed a lot recently. You can get back to 80 or so by adjusting your schedule in a few days. There is no need to be overly nervous about a score.

Of course, if you check the deduction items and find that you have "cycle fluctuations of more than 7 days" for more than 3 consecutive months, "menstrual volume suddenly halved or doubled", "menstrual cramps are more severe every time", etc., even if the score is more than 70 points, it is best to go to the hospital for investigation. After all, I had a relative who scored 72 points before, and the physical examination showed that he had chocolate cysts. Self-test scores cannot replace professional examinations, so they can be used as a health reference. By the way, if you have recently had a disorderly schedule and are greedy for cold drinks, and you only get a score of 68, there is really no need to panic. You should avoid using ice a week before your next menstruation. Don’t stay up until one or two o’clock before going to bed. Maybe your score will jump to 80 next time.+~
