Medical Video: At what age do girls typically get their first period?
No one can really be sure when someone will come for the first time, but you will come during puberty. Puberty occurs when you start growing up. This means that there will be many changes outside or inside your body.
Some women start menstruation when they are 8 years old, and some at the age of 13-14 years. Every woman has a different maturity time. So don't think you're weird if it's too fast or late for your other friends.
At the beginning of puberty, you will notice that your breasts begin to grow and fine hairs will also begin to grow on your vital organs. Some time later fine hairs will also grow on the armpits.
In many women, the first menstruation or called menarche, starts around 2 - 2½ years from the start of the development of breast growth. Some women may come less than 2 years later, some of them are even longer. All women have different developments from other women's developments.
The main sign that you are approaching menstruation for the first time is when you realize something is coming out of your vital organ. The liquid that comes out may be liquid and slightly sticky, or even thick and sticky, sometimes white or clear. Usually this happens about 6 months before you experience menstruation.
You can be a mother someday
Menstruation is a sign that there has been a change in a woman's body so that one day she can conceive a baby. Every woman has two ovaries that contain thousands of small eggs and a fallopian tube that is connected to the uterus or uterus, where the baby will grow. If you have menstruated, that means the hormones in the body will make the eggs in the ovary mature, so every month the ovaries will release the mature eggs into the uterus.
By the time of the month, the uterine wall will become thicker by the blood and tissue, which will serve as a soft cushion for the baby to grow. When the egg that has reached the uterus is not fertilized by sperm for a certain period of time, it will leave the uterine wall. Well, that's when you come months.
Some women will wonder if their menstruation is normal, but in fact each woman is different. The coming month can take anywhere from 2 days to a week. Some women will experience cramps and pain, and others will be lighter after the first few days.
It can take some time (usually 12 to 18 months) for women to be able to feel a normal month every month since their first menstruation. You may not be menstruating within a few months after the first menstruation. The more you grow up, the menstrual cycle will be more regular every month, usually every 21-34 days.
The amount of blood coming out also varies, sometimes it comes out a lot but usually only 2 tablespoons. Contact your doctor immediately if you feel too much menstrual blood or if you haven't menstruated for three months.
Do you think too much about when you will come back? You are not alone, many women question the same thing. If you feel a little worried or anxious, tell your closest person like your mother, aunt, or sister.
