What are the signs of menarche?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that affects women's physical health. Normal menstruation is relatively healthy for women and can promote the improvement of the reproductive system. Menstruation usually occurs in teenage girls around the age of 13. There are some precursor symptoms that can be predicted in advance. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of menarche.

1. Before menstruation, there will usually be some small bloodstains on the underwear.

Before menarche, a woman's body goes through a series of changes. If you understand these changes, you can estimate the time of menarche.

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 begin to develop, swell and develop areolas, and there is a hard lump when touched, then menarche will occur within the next two years.

4. Check for any leucorrhea: If a transparent, colorless, odorless and slightly viscous liquid like egg white flows out of a girl's vagina, it is a normal phenomenon; if the leucorrhea is found to be brown, it indicates that the first menstruation will come in 2-3 days.

5. If acne occurs (acne on the cheeks and forehead with small pustules), menstruation will come within 2 to 3 months.

If it is your first menstruation, it may cause abdominal pain. Everyone's situation is different. Some dark blood will appear. If you have already had your menstruation, you should use some sanitary napkins of better quality, keep your vulva clean, and keep warm.
