When girls reach a certain age, they will have menstruation, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, the time when each girl first has menstruation is not the same, and the color of menstruation is also different. Many girls, because it's their first time menstruating, don't have much knowledge about menstruation. So, what is the color of their first menstrual period?
What's wrong with the color of my first menstrual period
Girls have their first menstrual period, with a color between dark red and bright red. Due to the prolonged exposure of the endometrium to estrogen before menarche, many girls experience a large amount of menstrual flow during their first period, lasting for 7 days or more. During menstruation, there may be varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, which is a normal phenomenon.
Signs of First Menstruation
1. Breast budding, button sized bumps formed between the mammary gland and adipose tissue, nipple enlargement, areola expansion leading to areola swelling, and darkening of nipple and areola color indicate that the first menstrual cycle is not far away. Generally, menarche occurs two years after breast development, and the breasts and areola continue to develop after menarche.
2. The armpits and pubic hair will grow thicker and thicker, especially around the vaginal area.
3. Vaginal discharge, which is also the most obvious sign of menstruation, will appear on your underwear at the beginning of the period, like a kiss mark. At first, it is white, but after a period of time, it will be brown, which means that vaginal discharge mixed with some blood may really be coming!
4. Stomach spasms, headaches, and emotional fluctuations are also signs of the first impending event.
By now, everyone should already know what the color of their first menstrual cycle is! Girls must take good care of themselves during their menstrual period, and of course, they should also pay attention to their health when they are not menstruating. If they do not take good care of their bodies, there may be some adverse reactions during their menstrual period, such as dysmenorrhea, which is very distressing. Therefore, girls should pay more attention.
