Enlightenment of sex education: menarche
Generally, girls start menstruating at the age of 13- 15, which is called menarche or first menarche. At this time, sexual awareness will also be formed. At this time, most girls are confused, flustered, shy and at a loss.

At this time, parents' company and careful guidance are needed to popularize menstruation knowledge for children in time.

Many girls have had such confusion:

How many days is menstruation normal? What is irregular menstruation? Do we really know about menstruation?

Under normal circumstances, women's menstruation comes once every 28 days or so. Most women's menstruation lasts 2-8 days, mostly 4-6 days. Menstruation is more on the second to third day of menstruation, and then gradually decreases.

Adolescent girls, within 1-2 years after menarche, have poor physical development, and their menstruation is advanced or postponed, or even they don't come for several months. This is a physiological phenomenon. There are generally no special symptoms during menstruation, and some may have abdominal and waist discomfort, breast pain or emotional instability, which can be naturally relieved after menstruation.

What is irregular menstruation?

There are many blood clots during menstruation, or there is too much menstrual flow, so it is necessary to check whether there is organic uterine lesions.

The age of menarche is usually between 12 and 13. It is abnormal to menstruate earlier than 9 years old or later than 15 years old, or not to menstruate for 3 years after breast development, which requires further examination in the hospital.

There should be no pain under normal circumstances. If you have dysmenorrhea, it may indicate abnormality. One of the medical differences of dysmenorrhea is called "primary dysmenorrhea", which means that you have dysmenorrhea the first time you come to menstruation. Relatively speaking, the other is "secondary dysmenorrhea". Distinguish between the two, recall whether it hurts when you first come to menstruation, and you can probably identify it.

For primary dysmenorrhea, symptomatic treatment is often suggested when there is no organic disease. Secondary dysmenorrhea is often caused by some visceral lesions, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to know whether there are potential diseases.

Do we really know about menstruation?

1, cannot be active during the physiological period? Menstruation is really not suitable for strenuous exercise, but you can do light exercise such as walking and light gymnastics. Mild exercise can relieve menstrual discomfort.

2. Can eating sweets treat dysmenorrhea? Eating too many sweets can not only eliminate the physiological cycle syndrome, but may cause blood sugar instability and aggravate discomfort. A light diet is king.

3. Do you take painkillers for dysmenorrhea? Really can only rely on painkillers to relieve pain, you should go to the hospital to rule out secondary dysmenorrhea caused by pelvic organic lesions.

4. Can dysmenorrhea disappear after getting married and having children? Scientific experiments show that giving birth to a child during pregnancy can indeed draw a terminator for dysmenorrhea in some women, mainly because of some sympathetic changes caused by pregnancy. But not all women have such good luck.

In a word, menstruation is very important for girls. The arrival of menstruation not only means the formation of sexual consciousness, but also represents the sexual maturity of girls' bodies. Only with proper knowledge can they take better care of themselves. I hope all girls can correctly understand their bodies and protect themselves.
