When does the second menstrual period come after menarche? Experts will tell you

A girl's second menstruation does not come one month after her first. There is no regular pattern or basis for judging when the second menstruation will come. Some people get their period after a few months, while others may have to wait a year. These are all normal.

1. How long does it take for the second menstruation to come after the first menstruation?

After menarche, menstruation is often irregular, with menstruation occurring only once every several months or a year or bleeding occurring continuously. This is because the ovarian function is not yet fully developed. Generally, menstruation will become normal after the ovarian function gradually matures. Since the ovaries have not fully developed, irregular menstruation is normal. Some women have 2 or 3 periods a month, while others only have once in half a year. It is not certain. If there is no improvement after 6-12 months, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to see if the ovaries are normal. Don't worry, there is no big problem. Pay attention to rest during menstruation and avoid excessive exercise. Also, be careful not to eat too much spicy or cold food.

2. It is very important to strengthen physical and mental health care and women's health counseling for girls at menarche: First, parents (especially mothers) and teachers should teach girls at menarche about the physiology and sexual psychology of adolescence, 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 made aware that low back pain, drowsiness, fatigue, and weakness that occur during menarche are normal phenomena, so as to avoid panic and increase the psychological burden.

3. During menarche, you should avoid participating in strenuous sports, such as long-distance cycling, running, playing basketball, playing football, etc., so as to avoid excessive fatigue leading to a decrease in resistance and inducing colds and other diseases.

4. During menstruation, you should wash frequently and avoid masturbation, because the body's resistance decreases during this stage. If you do not pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, it is very easy to cause bacterial infection and fever. Surveys show that the incidence of vulvar pruritus in girls during menstruation is about 6.9%, and the main inducing factors are related to unclean vulva during menstruation and masturbation.

5. Strengthen self-protection, use high-quality sanitary napkins, and do not replace them with ordinary toilet paper and straw paper that are not strictly disinfected.
