15-year-old girl's menarche

Girls entering puberty must be prepared for menarche, because during puberty girls' bodies will secrete a large amount of estrogen, and menarche will come at this time. Because each girl's hormone secretion is different, the time of menarche is also different. Some girls have their first menstruation at around 15 years old. So what should a 15-year-old girl pay attention to when she has her first menstruation?

What are the signs of menarche in girls?

1. Breast development: Normally, a girl’s breasts will develop and she will have her first period within two years, so adolescent girls should always pay attention to their body changes and learn more about physiological knowledge.

2. Sudden growth in height: Girls can pay attention to the changes in their height and weight during puberty. If there is a period of sudden increase in height and weight, it is possible that menarche will occur during this period.

3. Abdominal pain: Girls may feel abdominal pain on the eve of their first menstruation, but the pain is rather unusual and mild, and there is no other discomfort. If girls feel this way, they need to pay attention to this period, as menarche may be approaching.

Post-menarche health care

Many girls don’t know much about menarche, and even when menarche comes, it’s still the same as their daily life. In fact, girls need to pay attention to corresponding health care after their menarche, such as changing their diapers frequently, understanding physiological knowledge, etc. So what are the health care measures after menarche? Let's take a look.

1. Have some knowledge of physiological knowledge. Adolescent girls should have a certain understanding of physiological knowledge to avoid feeling fear when their menarche comes.

2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the genitals. You can wash the vulva with warm water every day, and avoid sitting baths, tub baths, etc.

3. Avoid contact with cold water. During the menstrual period, girls must pay attention to keeping warm, avoid contact with cold water, and especially avoid swimming. Otherwise, it is easy to cause menstrual disorders and also easy to catch a cold.

4. Avoid strenuous physical exercise. When you are in your menstrual period, you should be careful to avoid strenuous physical exercise such as sprinting. You can take a moderate walk, but not for too long, to avoid a decrease in your body's immunity due to excessive fatigue.

What should you pay attention to during menarche?

Before menarche, girls' height will suddenly increase, and most girls' menarche occurs between the ages of 12 and 14. So for girls, what should they pay attention to when their first menstruation comes? Let’s take a look.

1. Pay attention to genital hygiene: Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins correctly, and expose underwear to the sun.

2. Keep breasts clean: The breasts have many glands that produce oily substances. Although these oily substances can protect the skin, they can also be contaminated with dirt, causing redness and swelling. Therefore, during your menstrual period, you should pay attention to keeping your breasts clean.

3. Don’t wear heavy makeup: Heavy makeup will seriously block the breathing of skin pores, so wearing heavy makeup during adolescence will cause great harm to girls’ skin.

4. Remember to start wearing a bra: Some girls will experience a sudden increase in breast size during puberty. If they do not wear a bra for a long time at this time, it is easy to cause sagging breasts. Sagging breasts can also affect blood circulation in the breasts, causing blood stasis and leading to breast diseases.
