1. Duration of menstruation

Normally, menstruation lasts for 3 to 7 days, but each woman's constitution is different, and the duration of menstruation also varies greatly. A short period of menstruation for the first time is a normal phenomenon.

2. Menstrual cycle

The Menstrual cycle is from the first day of the last menstrual period to the first day of the next menstrual period. It is normal for the Menstrual cycle to be 25 to 35 days. If the Menstrual cycle is less than 21 days and more than 35 days long, you must go to the hospital immediately for examination.

3. Menstrual volume

It is normal that the amount of menstruation is 30~80ml, that is, it is normal to use 1~2 packs of sanitary napkins in a Menstrual cycle. If there is a high menstrual volume or a long menstrual period, and frequent menstruation occurs, you can go to the hospital for a hemoglobin test to see what the reason is. There is no need to worry too much about hemoglobin within the normal range before and after menstruation. Develop good dietary habits during adolescence, such as eating dates that can supplement iron, animal blood and viscera, longan peanuts, etc., to prevent weight loss.

4. Can you exercise during the physiological period

Girls who have menstruated for the first time have not yet fully developed their ovarian function and have not ovulated normally. Menstruation indicates the beginning of puberty. During this stage, it is recommended not to engage in strenuous exercise, especially in competitive and confrontational sports. Appropriate exercise can be done, such as walking, gymnastics, or jogging.

5. Can I take painkillers for dysmenorrhea

Many girls experience abdominal pain during their first menstrual period, which is actually a normal phenomenon. As long as there is no nausea, vomiting, or dizziness, they do not need to take painkillers. During this period, they should keep their abdomen warm and rest more, and abdominal pain will improve. If the child's lower abdominal pain is unbearable, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. It is necessary to go to the hospital for ultrasound examination and examination for organic problems such as genital malformations. If there are abnormalities, it is necessary to actively assist the doctor in treatment.
