Every girl may remember the tension, panic, and helplessness she experienced during her first menstrual period. If girls can learn the preventive measures for girls' menarche earlier, they may reduce this sense of panic. Therefore, girls should learn preventive measures for girls' menarche.
Menarche is the most obvious sign of adolescent girls and the first step of sexual maturity. The age of menarche for girls generally fluctuates between 10 and 16 years old, with most occurring between 13 and 14 years old. But some girls have early sexual development, with menarche occurring between the ages of 9 and 10.
For menarche girls themselves, facing complex emotional experiences such as psychological tension, fear, shyness, and curiosity during their first menstrual period, their bodies may experience discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, low back pain, fatigue, drowsiness, fatigue, and facial swelling. In addition, the pressure of learning tension can lead to varying degrees of decline in their resistance and adaptability.
What are the symptoms before menstruation?
1. Measurement of weight and height: Girls enter puberty (11 to 14 years old) and their height and weight are measured every six months. If a sudden increase in height and weight is found during a measurement, it indicates that the girl may menstruate within the next six months.
2. Observe the condition of the breasts: If it is found that the breasts are beginning to develop, expand, and areola, there will be induration when in contact, and menarche will occur in the next two years.
3. Check if there is any vaginal discharge: If it is as transparent as egg white, colorless, and slightly sticky liquid flows out of the girl's vagina, it indicates that after 2-3 days, menarche is about to arrive.
However, due to the immaturity of some girls' psychology and lack of common sense in this area, it is easy to have some worrying things. Therefore, strengthening physical and mental health and health counseling is very important.
How to maintain health during menarche?
Firstly, parents and teachers should teach menarche girls about puberty physiology and sexual psychology, so that they understand that menarche is an inevitable sign of physical development and adolescence, and there is no need to worry. At the same time, they should be fully prepared for discomfort such as low back pain, drowsiness, fatigue, and fatigue during menarche to avoid panic and increase psychological burden.
Secondly, during menarche, one should avoid participating in strenuous exercise, long-distance cycling, and running to avoid excessive fatigue leading to decreased resistance, colds, and other illnesses.
Thirdly, during menstruation, it is important to regularly clean the external genitalia and avoid masturbation, as the body's resistance is currently declining. If not cleaned carefully, it is easy to cause bacterial infections and fever. The incidence rate of vulval pruritus in menarche girls was 6.9%, and the main inducing factors were related to uncleanness of vulva and masturbation during menstruation.
