Before the menstrual period comes, adolescent girls may have brown secretions. It is recommended that you do not need to worry too much and it is best to pay attention to rest, avoid cold and excessive fatigue, and maintain good hygiene of the vulva to prevent intrauterine infection. If you feel soreness and discomfort in the lower abdomen, and pain and swelling, it is best to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

Signs of menarche in girls

1. Before your period, there is usually some blood on your underwear. Before a girl's menarche, her body will undergo a series of changes. If this change is understood, the time of a girl's menarche can be estimated.

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 have just begun to grow and develop, swell and nipples appear, and there is a lump when touched, then the girl will have her first menstruation in the next two years.

4. Check for secretions: If a transparent, colorless, odorless and slightly thick liquid like egg white is discharged from the girl's vagina, it is normal. If the discharge is dark brown, it indicates that the girl will have her first menstruation in 2-3 days.

5. If acne occurs (acne on the cheeks and forehead with small pustules), the menstrual period may arrive within 2 to 3 months.
