Kindly tell during menses which day do we count as the first day,as some doctors suggest the next day to be considered as day one after the periods start.

Answer: Normally, when that day it occurs it is counted as day 1. However, when the same take place during night, the confusion arises. Here too, if the same occurs before 2.30 am, one can once take it in the earlier day count the following morning as day 2. This is as per Hindu system.
