What to do on your first period

When a girl is around 13 years old, she will have her period, which means that her body has gradually matured and ovulation has begun. The growth rate will also accelerate, and some girls even have hair growing on their genitals. Although many women have their period in the second year of junior high school, some women will have their period a little later, or even earlier. So what should they do when they have their first period?

1. Many girls are very scared when they find that their period has come. They can only ask their mothers for advice and use cotton sanitary napkins over their underwear. If they are cheerful and active girls, they can choose professional menstrual belts and change the handkerchiefs on them in time. At this time, they should drink more warm water and increase the frequency of urination, which can also have an anti-inflammatory effect on the sexual organs. Don't eat cold food, let alone touch cold water.

2. During the menstrual period, many girls will experience menstrual cramps. At this time, you can use a hot water bottle and apply it to the outside of the abdomen to relieve the symptoms. Do not take painkillers, as this will only make the symptoms worse. At the same time, you should also eat a variety of easily digestible foods, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, various legumes, fruits and vegetables, which can make the nutrients in the body more balanced.

3. Change your underwear every day and wash it by hand, separate it from other clothes, steam it with boiling water, and then put it in the sun to dry for a long time to prevent bacteria and insects from growing on it. If you have overexerted yourself at this time, you can tell the teacher and do some relaxing exercises. Don't do heavy physical work, and don't bow your head for a long time. Pay attention to keeping your waist and abdomen warm.

What are the consequences of having your first menstrual period too early?

The first menstruation is related to social conditions, race, family, topography and other factors. According to clinical observations, if the mother's first menstruation is late, the daughter's menarche age will be relatively delayed, and the survey report is consistent with this view. High temperatures and severe cold weather do not have much impact on the menarche age of young girls. Judging from the situation in our country, there is not much difference between young girls in the three northeastern provinces and those in southern China. Compared with normal women, girls whose first menstruation comes early have an 80% higher risk of entering menopause before the age of 40, which is a very scary thing. Especially for women who had their first menstruation early but did not get pregnant, the risk of entering menopause early is greater.

Scientific studies have confirmed that women whose first menstruation comes early are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Excessive body fat is the main factor causing diabetes in people. Also, female obesity is the culprit that causes women to have their first menstruation earlier and increases the risk of heart disease. The editor here reminds obese girls that they must control their weight for the sake of their own health.
