Puberty is an era when a child experiences physical, psychological, and sexual function maturation. Puberty in our lives generally begins at the age of eight to ten years and ends approximately at the age of 15 to 16 years. During this period, growth and progress was fast. In women, puberty is marked by the first menstruation (menarche), while in men it is marked by wet dreams.
At the beginning of puberty, levels of the hormone LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) will increase, thereby stimulating the formation of sex hormones. In women, increased levels of these hormones lead to the maturation of the breasts, ovaries, uterus, and vagina and the start of the menstrual cycle. In addition, the emergence of secondary sexual characteristics, such as the growth of pubic hair and armpit hair.
Menstruation is the process of releasing the uterine wall (endometrium) followed by bleeding and occurs repeatedly every month except during pregnancy. Menstruation that is repeated every month will eventually form a menstrual cycle.
The first menstruation (menarche) in adult girls often occurs at the age of 11 years. However, it is possible to occur in the age range of 8-16 years. Menstruation is an explanation of the reproductive age in a woman's life, starting from menarche to menopause.
Why do girls menstruate?
Menstruation is the result of the ovaries releasing one egg (ovum) from a number of approximately 400,000 eggs. If this egg is not fertilized, then the lining of the inner wall of the uterus that is prepared for the attachment of the fertilized product will peel off and bleeding (menstruation) occurs. Menstruation generally comes once a month with cycles varying from 28–35 days, which usually begins at the age of 11–14 years.
When does the menstrual cycle start?
Most people tend to think that menstruation is a sign of the start of puberty. In fact, the most recent menstruation occurs. Menstruation will not begin until at least a year after rapid development, which is after the breasts have begun to develop and the axillary and pubic hair has begun to develop.
One or two years before menstruation, the vagina begins to produce a clear, odorless fluid. If you didn't recognize this problem before, you might be worried. This situation is normal and nothing to worry about. If the liquid is too much you can use the pads provided specifically but if the liquid smells, is yellow or causes itching, see a doctor once this cycle is started will continue.
Why do some girls start menstruating late?
Although menstruation usually begins between the ages of 11 and 14 years, sometimes it occurs later. No need to worry, if his friends have menstruated, while he hasn't. Usually this is due to delays that are influenced by heredity, for example: the mother is late in getting her first menstruation, often her child also experiences the same thing.
If the body size is smaller than the average size, generally your period is later. Almost all girls have menstruated by the age of 16 years.
How long does menstruation last?
The first period may vary in length, but if it is regular it generally lasts about 5 days. It can also be shorter or longer (3–8 days), more bleeding occurs on the second and third day, then less and less until menstruation stops.
How often does menstruation occur?
At first menstruation occurs unplanned, it may occur between 2 to 3 months or even longer, after the first menstruation. This is still reasonable. It usually takes 18 months or more before menses. Usually the cycle occurs once a month, from the first day of menstruation until the next menstruation runs 28-35 days. This condition is called the menstrual cycle.
How do you know when the next time will happen?
It is recommended that adults record the first day of menstruation. At first, this can be a handle because menstruation has not been structured. If it has been structured then menstruation can be more observed. But in some people it is unpredictable, because menstruation is not structured, some girls note that they experience more abscess growth than usual, for example before menstruation starts. There are also those who feel that the breasts feel enlarged and the area around the nipples is blackened and the nipples tighten, before menstruation.
Use of sanitary napkins during menstruation
Changing pads is carried out at least 3 times a day. The soiled sanitary napkins are washed, packed neatly, and then thrown in the trash.
Can adults get pregnant if they are menstruating?
After experiencing menstruation, the adult daughter is able to get pregnant. But in general, ovulation (release of eggs) rarely occurs before menstruation takes place regularly. So at the beginning, even though she was menstruating, she was not yet fertile.
When menstruation has been planned, the egg will come out of one of the ovaries every month. If it encounters sperm (eg sexual intercourse or the attachment of sperm to the vagina), then the egg has been fertilized, meaning that it can become pregnant. Sometimes the egg has been released from the ovary before experiencing the first menstruation.
Will there be pain during menstruation?
The first time menstruation is generally painless. But if the cycle is regular, many girls who experience discomfort before and during their menstrual period (dysmenorrhea), may experience cramping in the lower abdomen, or pain in the lower back. The pain will last after hours and painkillers such as mefenamic acid can usually help relieve the pain. If you have dysmenorrhea, you should see a doctor.
Can shower or swim during menstruation?
There is no medical reason to forbid people from carrying out activities that they normally do during menstruation. It just depends on what is considered good. Some girls avoid sporting events during the first or second day of their period, especially if they have stomach cramps.
There is no provision that states that it will be bad if bathing, washing hair or swimming during menstruation. When using sanitary napkins, you should not swim when the bleeding is profuse. In the last days, the bleeding stayed a little, was able to swim without wearing a pad.
