What are the obvious signs of a girl's menarche?

Women will feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. This is not caused by any disease, but is a minor reaction to menstruation. Many women are very nervous during their menstruation, but this is absolutely not the case, as it will only make the discomfort more intense. After the endometrium is stimulated by estrogen, girls will also have their first menstruation. So, what are the symptoms and signs of girls' first menstruation?

Signs of menarche

1. Before menstruation, there will usually be some small bloodstains on the underwear.

Before menarche, a woman's body goes through a series of changes. If you understand these changes, you can estimate the time of menarche.

2. Measure weight and height: After girls enter puberty (11-14 years old), measure their height and weight twice every six months. If a measurement reveals a sudden increase in height and weight, it indicates that the girl may have her first menstruation in the next six months.

3. Observe the condition of the breasts: If you find that the breasts begin to develop, swell and develop areolas, and there is a hard lump when touched, then menarche will occur within the next two years.

4. Check for any leucorrhea: If a transparent, colorless, odorless and slightly viscous liquid like egg white flows out of a girl's vagina, it is a normal phenomenon; if the leucorrhea is found to be brown, it indicates that the first menstruation will come in 2-3 days.

5. If acne occurs (acne on the cheeks and forehead with small pustules), menstruation will come within 2 to 3 months.

Psychological guidance

First, parents and teachers should teach girls who are experiencing menarche about the physiology and sexual psychology of puberty, so that they understand that menarche is an inevitable part of physical development and a sign of entering puberty, and there is no need to worry. At the same time, they should be fully prepared mentally for the discomforts such as low back pain, drowsiness, fatigue, and weakness that may occur during the first menstruation, so as to avoid panic and increase the psychological burden.

Second, during menarche, you should avoid participating in strenuous sports, long-distance cycling and running, etc., so as to prevent excessive fatigue from causing a decrease in resistance and inducing diseases such as colds.

Third, the vulva should be cleaned frequently during menstruation and masturbation should be avoided, because the body's resistance is reduced during this stage, and if you do not pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, it is very easy to cause bacterial infection and fever.

Fourth, strengthen self-protection. Never use inferior sanitary napkins for the sake of saving money, and never replace them with ordinary toilet paper and straw paper that are not strictly disinfected.

Fifth, pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep time. Eating nutritious meals that are easy to digest and absorb is very beneficial for strengthening the body and restoring energy.
