A girl's period appears during puberty, and then repeats monthly throughout her reproductive age until she is 50 or even more years old. After the first menstruation, it is still impossible to say exactly what the length of a woman’s cycle is, because during the first two years, hormonal levels normalize, which is why periods come irregularly. But at an older age, a woman already clearly knows how many days later her period comes.
The regularity of the menstrual cycle is a sign of the health of a woman’s reproductive system, therefore, in case of delays or too frequent periods, the cause of such a violation should be immediately determined.
In this article, you will learn what interval between periods is normal, whether there is an acceptable deviation in the duration of the cycle, and why there are short or long breaks between periods.
Day 1
Infection. The risk of catching the virus is highest somewhere in a crowd, at a supermarket checkout, in a subway car. Or, for example, during personal communication with a person who has recently returned from abroad. SARS‑CoV‑2 is transmitted primarily through airborne droplets, and close contact (within a distance of less than 2 meters) is the most common route of infection.
It may take 2 to 14 days for the first symptoms to appear. In some cases, the incubation period lasts up to 27 days Coronavirus incubation could be as long as 27 days, Chinese provincial government says - the period presumably depends on the characteristics of a particular person. However, such a long period is extremely rare.
Most often, COVID‑19 makes itself felt approximately 5 days after infection.
We start from this figure in further calculations.
The first fireworks in the world
Many people don't pay much attention to the difference between the words "fireworks" and "salute". But there is a difference and a very significant one. Fireworks can only be performed by military personnel on special days or public holidays. The salute is carried out by firing blank shells from guns. And the festive fireworks display may consist of a massive fireworks display, during which part of the streets is cordoned off. This tradition began during the Second World War, when Soviet troops captured Belgorod and Orel. In the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow, a massive fireworks display was carried out.
Days 3–5
Digestive symptoms. Although WHO considers Q‑A Coronavirus to be uncharacteristic of coronavirus (after all, the infection mainly affects the respiratory tract), there is data on Clinical characteristics of COVID‑19 patients with digestive symptoms in Hubei, China: a descriptive, cross‑sectional, multicenter study that problems with the stomach appear in every second sick person.
In most cases, patients complain of:
- loss of appetite;
- diarrhea;
- vomiting;
- abdominal pain.
Please note: these symptoms are not yet a sign of illness. The stomach can hurt for a variety of reasons. It’s another matter if signs characteristic of a coronavirus infection appear against the background of digestive disorders.

Place of residence
Researchers are trying to establish where the first human settlement appeared .
For many years it was believed that the human race originated in Western Europe. The main reason for this is the theory of Eurocentrism, which said that it was on the territory of Europe that powerful civilizations were created, and it was from here that progress began.
In the second half of the twentieth century, archaeologists found the remains of that same Homo habilis in the territory of modern Tanzania, the so-called Afar Triangle.
It was there that key discoveries were made that shed light on the origins of humanity. Archaeologists found tools made of stone next to human bones, which could well serve as a good tool for obtaining food.
In 1960, Darwin's theory of evolution was no longer in doubt. Archaeological finds also made it clear how man developed, how the volume of his brain increased over time and intellectual activity improved.
As for the classification by period, the origin of humanity should be dated to the Cenozoic era , which began 65 million years ago. This period is referred to as the “era of new life,” because it started immediately after the fall of a huge meteorite, which destroyed the dinosaurs and most of life on the planet.

Days 5–10
Key symptoms of coronavirus emerge. In the vast majority of cases there are three Symptoms | CDC:
- Temperature rises to approximately 38–39 °C.
- Dry cough.
- Weakness.
The symptoms are similar to those of the flu. And this is one of the main problems in diagnosing COVID‑19. There are no characteristic symptoms that would allow one to immediately distinguish a coronavirus infection from a regular seasonal ARVI. You can’t say: “If you have a runny nose, it’s definitely not coronavirus.” Or: “If you have a dry cough, but the temperature is not high, this is definitely a regular ARVI.”
Key coronavirus symptoms may or may not be accompanied by additional:
- runny nose;
- stuffy nose;
- sore throat;
- wet cough with sputum;
- chills;
- pain in muscles and joints.
In some cases, COVID‑19 is completely mild and almost asymptomatic. And sometimes it manifests itself with non-standard signs. For example, complete or partial loss of smell - anosmia. Experts from the British Association of Otorhinolaryngology reported this to Q‑A Coronavirus.
In 30% of patients in South Korea with mild illness, anosmia was the main symptom.
Claire Hopkins, President of the British Rhinological Society, Professor of Rhinology at King's College London
Be that as it may, with mild COVID‑19, the patient begins to feel better approximately 4–7 days after the onset of symptoms. The man is on the mend. According to statistics, such lucky ones are 80% Report of the WHO‑China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‑19) of the total number of cases.
But in 20% of all cases the process is difficult. And the disease manifests itself with additional symptoms.
When does the effect occur after Dysport?
Having a low molecular weight, the toxin penetrates the tissue instantly, but how many days after the injections the result of its effect on the facial muscles is visible depends on many factors - the individual characteristics of the patient, his compliance with the regime before and after the procedure, the qualifications of the doctor, etc.
What is the action in the first hours
The specific effect of Dysport on nerve endings leads to the fact that after injections in the forehead, between the eyebrows, corners of the eyes, lips and other areas of the face, a woman may feel a loss of sensitivity in them and see swelling. These phenomena are normal and disappear within 2-3 hours.
Temporary hematomas at the injection site (occur in 3-10% of cases), raising or lowering of the eyebrows (up to 1%) and drooping of the upper eyelid (3%) should also not cause concern. Individual intolerance to the drug or an incorrectly calculated dose can lead to hyperemia, pain and the appearance of lumps in the injection area. In such cases, the cosmetologist should provide immediate assistance to the patient to prevent other side effects from occurring.
It should be remembered that you cannot automatically transfer the dosage used for Botox procedures to Dysport, since the amount of neurotoxin in these products is different.
Before starting treatment with botulinum toxin, the patient needs to undergo a medical examination - this way you can reduce the risk of unexpected allergic reactions in the first hours.
First days
Dysport blocks muscle activity gradually. How many days later this effect can appear depends on the age and activity of the patient. If you follow all the doctor’s prescriptions, the effect becomes visible within 2-3 days. The swelling subsides, redness goes away, and it becomes clear that the skin has relaxed - the depth of wrinkles decreases. The facial muscles lose mobility, and the face does not tense up from constant movement.
If muscle relaxation does not occur, or unpleasant symptoms do not go away, this may indicate an insufficient amount of toxin. In this case, you should consult a doctor who will decide whether it is necessary to introduce several additional units.
While Dysport is stationary and acting at the injection site, it should not be provoked to flow under the skin, therefore, in the first days after the procedure, facial massage or peeling should not be done. You should not tilt your head or jerk it sharply, you should avoid direct exposure to sunlight, and visiting a solarium is contraindicated. You need to follow a diet and exclude spicy, smoked, fried foods and alcohol.
Also, cosmetologists do not recommend actively doing gymnastics, visiting baths or saunas - all this contributes to the fact that blood rushes to the face and the medicine is redistributed.
You may feel a slight headache for the first 3-7 days - this is normal.
Period of maximum effect
It is impossible to say exactly what day Dysport rises on. It depends on the:
- drug dose;
- specifics of the area of the face subjected to treatment;
- individual characteristics of the patient.
For some women, wrinkles disappear on the second day after the injections, while others wait several days for the effect.
The peak effect of botulinum toxin occurs 10-14 days after the procedure. By this time, the paralyzed nerve fibers have not transmitted the impulse to the muscles for a long time, which causes their rapid contraction, and the face loses the habit of grimacing - the folds of the skin are evened out. As a result:
- “crow’s feet” near the eyes disappear;
- horizontal wrinkles on the forehead diverge;
- the folds on the bridge of the nose are filled;
- purse-string wrinkles around the lips are smoothed out;
- the outer corner of the eyebrow rises and the gaze “opens up”;
- the jaw line becomes clear;
- the “rings of Venus” (circular folds on the neck) straighten out.
Although the facial muscles lose tone due to the effects of the neurotoxin, the blood supply to the tissues is not impaired, and the patient does not have the feeling of constantly wearing a mask.
Days 10–12
About a week Features, Evaluation and Treatment Coronavirus (COVID‑19) after the first signs of infection, the condition of some patients deteriorates sharply. Problems appear Symptoms | CDC with breathing:
- severe shortness of breath, difficulty breathing;
- painful, squeezing sensation in the chest;
- extreme weakness, clouding of consciousness;
- bluish lips, pallor.
Such symptoms indicate that severe pneumonia is developing. The lungs are damaged, and the person experiences oxygen starvation. Urgent hospitalization in a hospital is required.
Treatment of such patients may take a week or two and require oxygen therapy (inhalation of air with a high oxygen content).
Days 12–14
Three quarters of patients who develop viral pneumonia slowly begin to recover.
But a quarter (up to 6% of the total number of cases) develops the most dangerous complication - acute respiratory distress syndrome Treatment for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome from COVID‑19. In this case, the immune cells that are supposed to fight the infection inside the lungs go crazy and begin to attack healthy tissue as well.
The patient's condition deteriorates sharply, he loses the ability to breathe on his own and needs to be connected to an artificial lung ventilation device (ALV).
Ceftriaxone administered - temperature after injection: should I worry?
If the temperature rises immediately after the Ceftriaxone injection, then it is quite safe, since it usually takes 24-48 hours to suppress the growth of bacteria. Therefore, in this case, the reaction will not be to the drug itself, but to an infection in the body. If the fever reaches 38-39 degrees, and there are all manifestations of intoxication - headache, nausea, loss of appetite, then the doctor may recommend an antipyretic drug - Paracetamol or Ibuprofen.
To speed up the elimination of toxins (waste products) of microbes, it is necessary to take a sufficient amount of water and limit fatty, spicy and salty foods in the diet. Fresh fruit and berry juices, fruit drinks, rosehip decoction, and fermented milk drinks are useful.
