All About Your Period
One of the biggest changes for girls that comes along with puberty is menstruation. Menstruation is more commonly known as getting your period. In some cultures, the start of menstruation is celebrated publicly in a time of great rejoicing; other cultures choose to be more private about it. Some girls can't wait for their first period to come, while others may dread it or feel neutral about it. No matter how you feel, it's an important event in your life and part of the normal process of becoming a woman.
When will I get my first period?
There really isn't any way you can tell which day or week you'll get your first period. It usually starts a year after the female growth spurt begins. For most girls in America this is between ages 9 and 15. There also isn't really any way you can make your first period come sooner or keep it from happening.
What causes a period and what happens?
Each month or so, the inside of your uterus gets thicker with blood and tissues to prepare for a fertilized egg. These blood and tissues contain nutrients in case the egg becomes fertilized. When an egg becomes fertilized, a woman becomes pregnant. If the egg is not fertilized, the blood and tissues are shed. This is the period.
How often will my period come?
How often you get your period can differ from one female to another. Your period, or monthly cycle, occurs approximately once a month. However, some women get their period every 21 days, while others menstruate every 35 days. The average length of a period is 3 to 7 days. In the beginning, your period may come irregularly and may last for just a couple days or for 2 weeks. It is important to keep track of when your period begins and whether your blood flow tends to be heavy or light. In most cases, the flow is heavier in the beginning and gets lighter each following day. Since each person's body is different, it is essential to know what is normal for your body.
What else can I expect?
You'll need to use feminine products like pads or tampons to absorb the blood. Pads are worn outside the body in your underwear, and tampons are worn inside the body. Talk to your mom, older sister, or a trusted adult about which is best for you. You may also notice that the color of the blood flow changes during your period—sometimes it's a dark red, and sometimes it's a bright red. This usually depends on how heavy the flow is and where in your cycle you are. If you notice a change in your period, talk to your parent or a doctor.
What is PMS?
PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome. Some women experience PMS around the time of their period. PMS symptoms may include headaches; moodiness; bloating; breast tenderness; and feeling sad, irritable, emotional, or tired. There are a few medicines that may ease PMS symptoms, but make sure you talk with your parent, school nurse, or your doctor before taking anything. You can make some changes to your diet that may help ease your PMS symptoms. Cutting back on salty foods, chocolates, and drinks with caffeine may lessen PMS symptoms. Many women experience cramps before or during their periods. The severity of cramps also differs from one woman to another. If you are feeling a great deal of discomfort with PMS or cramps, think about talking to your mom, your doctor, or a school nurse about what you are experiencing.
How long will this go on?
You'll probably keep getting your period until you're anywhere from 45 to 55, when it will stop. This is called menopause. In the 30 to 40 years you will be getting your period, it's important to pay attention to your body and know what's normal for you so that you can be aware if anything unusual happens.
