If you're referring to menstruation, then the average menstrual bleed will last between 5-7 days. Everyone is different and sometimes menstruation can last longer than this, especially if you have irregular cycles.

What happens in the uterus during menses?
Menstruation is the process through which the uterine lining is shed.If pregnancy doesn't occur the drop in progesterone causes the uterine lining to break-down, tissue and blood leave the uterus and exit the body via the vagina - this is menstruation or a period. Some women will also experience a withdrawal bleeding while using hormonal birth control which is similar to menstruation but there is less uterine tissue lost so can be lighter.
Why does mensuration not take place after fertilisation?
The uterine lining builds-up in preparation for fertilization so that the zygote/embryo can implant itself into the uterine lining and then develop into a baby. Menstruation only takes place when fertilization doesn't take place, this occurs so the uterine lining is shed and can start a fresh next cycle so it can be ready for pregnancy again. If the uterine lining were to break down after fertilization a zygote/embryo wouldn't be able to implant itself or it would result in miscarriage.
Where does conception take place?
In the fallopian tubes, NOT the uterus. By the time the egg reaches the uterus, if it hasn't been fertilized yet, it won't ever be fertilized because your body has already begun to make new hormones and prepare to shed the uterine lining. Eggs just don't live that long. They hang out in the fallopian tubes waiting to be fertilized, and if they are, then they travel to the uterus and implant, signaling the start of pregnancy. Sometimes a fetilized egg implants in the tubes themselves, called an ectopic pregnancy, which usually requires a surgery.
How is hyperplasia caused?
Hyperplasia is caused by the abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus. This lining, called the endometrium, grows and thickens every month in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining is shed. This shedding process, known as a menstrual period, is controlled by two hormones: estrogen and progesterone.Too much estrogen and not enough progesterone can cause overgrowth of the cells that line the uterus, along with excessive thickening of the endometrium. Women who take estrogen hormone therapy without taking any form of progesterone to balance the effects of estrogen are at risk for the development of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. To cure this disease , most women prefer to choose the fuyan pill , which can help to cure the excessive growth of the uterus lining .

What is the relationship between oestrogen concentration in the blood and the thickness of the lining of the womb?
I think that if the relationship between oestrogen and the blood lining is that if it is low, there is a stop in the progression of blood lining and lining begins to break down, as oestrogen causes progesterone hormone that creates the thick mucus lining around the uterus and maintain it. When there is high concentration of oestrogen in the blood, it can help in maintaining the lining and creating the mucus in the uterus. Sometimes if there is a real high concentration in the blood, like when you take a contraceptive, it can cause blood clots to happen.

Taking estrogen alone can increase the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus. In the US, a woman with a uterus normally would not be given estrogen alone.

Does having your period take away all eggs and possible sperm?
When the egg in the uterus is not fertilized after a full cycle, the lining of the uterus and the unfertilized egg that was in the uterus are expelled in the period. Anyone on her period is just about guaranteed to not be pregnant. But it is possible for a girl to get pregnant while on her period; while pregnancy is less likely at this time than other times in the cycle, sperm lingers for some time in the uterus, and might last long enough to fertilize the next egg that is released.
