What are the symptoms of a girl's first menstrual period?

One day, a girl in puberty may suddenly find that blood is flowing out of her vagina. This is called menarche. Due to the influence of genetic factors, geographical environment, climatic factors, life and social environment, there are great differences in the age of menarche among different races, people from different regions and different individuals. Girls may experience the following symptoms during their first menstruation: Breast tenderness: Girls may experience breast tenderness before their first menstruation.

Girls are generally between 11 and 14 years old when they have their first menstruation, which is the time when their breasts develop. Breast pain will be more obvious before the first menstruation. Body hair growth: Due to menarche, the secretion of estrogen in girls' bodies increases, causing body hair growth. Increased vaginal secretions: Before menarche, the vagina will be stimulated to secrete certain substances, which we call leucorrhea.

The appearance of leucorrhea is also a prelude to menstruation. Girls who have their first menstruation will have brown-yellow discharge a few days after the appearance of leucorrhea, which is a symptom before menarche. Headaches and mood swings: Before the onset of menstruation, the girl’s body balance may be disrupted for a short period of time. During this period, the girl’s mood will fluctuate greatly and she may even have headaches.
