　　Female menarche symptoms

　　1. Female menarche symptom 1: Acne appears

　　This is a very obvious symptom, which is a headache for many women. If the smooth facial skin suddenly appears some unsightly pimples, pimples on the cheeks and forehead, and there are small pustules, then it is very likely that menstruation will come within 2 to 3 months.

　　3. Female menarche symptoms 3: Breast changes

　　If a woman's breasts begin to develop slowly, and there are areolas when they swell, and there is a hard knot when touched with the hand, then this means that the women's breasts begin to develop slowly, and even menarche will occur within two years. Female friends must pay attention to being fully prepared for it.

　　4. Female menarche symptom 4: sudden increase in height and weight

　　Girls enter puberty after they reach the age of 10. During this period, the height and weight can be measured every three months. If there is a significant increase in height and weight during that measurement, menarche should occur within the next six months.

　　5. Female menarche symptoms five: changes in leucorrhea

　　Generally speaking, after a girl reaches an appropriate age, there will be some viscous liquid left in the vagina, which is a bit like egg It looks clear. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If one day you find that the leucorrhea turns brown, then menarche will usually occur in two or three days.

　　6. Female menarche symptoms 6: Irregular menstruation

　　When women have menarche, their ovarian function is immature, so women do not ovulate during menarche. Only estrogen causes ovulation. Uterus After endometrial hyperplasia has been maintained for a certain period of time, because estrogen secretion does not reach the level it should be, the endometrium loses the support of estrogen and no longer proliferates and sheds and bleeds. Although this performance is the same as menstruation, because the ovaries are not yet mature and do not ovulate, menstruation often cannot occur regularly within six months to one year after the first menstruation. It is not until the ovaries mature and ovulate regularly that menstruation can occur monthly.

　　What should women pay attention to during menarche?

　　1. Parents should teach sexual psychology knowledge to menarche girls

　　Parents should teach menarche girls about pubertal physiology and sexual psychology, so that they understand that menarche is inevitable for physical development and a sign of puberty. There is no need to worry about it. At the same time, they should be fully prepared for the discomforts such as backache, lethargy, fatigue, and weakness that occur during menarche, so as to avoid panic and increase the psychological burden.

　　2. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation

　　During the menstrual period, the perineum should be washed frequently and masturbation should be avoided, because the body's resistance decreases during this period, and bacterial infection can easily occur if hygiene is not paid attention to. fever According to statistics, the incidence of vaginal pruritus among menarche girls is about 6.9%, and its main triggering factor is related to unclean vaginal masturbation during menstruation.

　　3. Women should use high-quality sanitary napkins during menarche

　　Strengthen self-protection and make high-quality sanitary napkins. Do not be greedy for cheap and use inferior products, let alone ordinary toilet paper that is not strictly sterilized.

　　4. Women should pay attention to rest during menarche

　　Pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep time, and eat nutritious meals that are easy to digest and absorb. This is beneficial to strengthening the body and restoring energy. Also avoid contact with cold water, keep warm, and preferably not participate in swimming.

　　Dietary principles for regulating menstruation

　　1. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy food

　　It is better to eat a light diet, especially during menstruation, which is helpful for digestion and absorption. Eat a light diet with less salt to avoid eating too much salt, which will increase the accumulation of salt and water in the body and avoid headaches and irritability in the early stages of menstruation. In addition, it is best not to eat spicy foods that are highly irritating. Such foods can stimulate the expansion of blood vessels and can easily lead to excessive menstrual bleeding or Dysmenorrhea , women must not eat spicy and other irritating foods during menstruation.

　　2. Eat more high-fiber foods every day

　　Foods rich in fiber can help regulate menstruation. High-fiber foods include fresh fruits, vegetables, oats, brown rice, etc. These foods can moisturize the intestines and improve constipate effects, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation. In addition, fiber-rich foods can promote estrogen secretion, increase magnesium content in the blood, and improve Irregular menstruation Even under such circumstances, a stable mood can be maintained.

　　3. Eat more high-quality protein every day

　　High-quality protein refers to protein that contains various amino acids necessary for the human body in large quantities and with high utilization rate by the human body. Soy protein in eggs, lean meat, dairy products, and soybeans are all high-quality proteins, so you can eat these foods regularly to supplement high-quality protein.

　　The time of menarche affects women’s height

　　According to the general rules of human growth and development, girls enter puberty at the age of 10 to 11 years old. Along with the rapid changes in various endocrine hormones in the body, height and other morphological indicators increase significantly, bone calcification accelerates, and sexual development begins. One of the important signs of a woman's sexual maturity is the periodic bleeding of the endometrium, which is the formation of menstruation. The first menstrual period is called menarche.

　　The age of menarche for girls generally fluctuates between 10 and 16 years old, with most occurring between 13 and 14 years old. However, some girls begin sexual development very early, and menarche occurs at the age of 9 to 10 years. According to our extensive surveys in Harbin, such girls account for about 1%. Many parents are surprised when this happens, fearing that their children will develop abnormally or suffer from some disease. ； Children themselves are easily panicked and do not understand physiological phenomena that occur at a young age. The care and correct guidance of parents and teachers at this time will help eliminate the emotional tension of the girl.

　　This obvious early onset of menarche is caused by individual differences in children's development, and it has its own inherent characteristics when viewed as a whole. Generally, girls who have early menstruation also enter puberty earlier. Others usually experience a sudden increase in height between the ages of 11 and 12, but this type of girl's height increases significantly at the age of 8 or 9 (yearly growth of 7 to 8 centimeters), and her weight is close to 40 kilograms. For ordinary girls, their breasts begin to develop around the age of 11, while for this type of girl, their breasts begin to develop between the ages of 9 and 10.

　　Another important feature is that the bone age of girls who have menarche at the age of 9 to 10 is significantly greater than their calendar age. For example, if some girls have their menstruation at the age of 9.5, their bone age has reached 13.3 years old at that time. We conducted detailed physical examinations on more than 60 girls who had menarche before the age of 11. The results showed that the bone ages of their wrist bones were all over 12 years old, and the average bone age was 2.66 years higher than the average calendar age. This is because bone development and sexual development are both regulated by endocrine hormones, and the two are closely related. To determine bone age, you only need to take an X-ray of your wrist bones.

　　In addition, the psychological development of the vast majority of girls with physiological premature menarche is also in sync with this. Their self-control, ability to adapt to the external environment, and ability to regulate emotions are much better than those of their peers.

　　The coordination and consistency of the above-mentioned physical, skeletal, psychological and other aspects of development with the same sex are very helpful in identifying physiological and pathological phenomena. Pathological premature female menarche is only some disease or a symptom of severe endocrine disorder, which is always accompanied by other clinical symptoms or signs. As long as the development process is carefully observed and certain indicators are detected in depth, the cause of the disease can eventually be elucidated.

　　With the continuous improvement of people's material and cultural living standards, especially the significant improvement of nutritional status, the phenomenon of premature growth and development of children has been reflected in many indicators. In recent years, the average age of menarche for urban women in my country has been 2 years earlier than 50 years ago. In 1980, the average age of menarche for girls in most cities across the country was around 13.5 years old. According to survey data from various places since 1990, this age has advanced to 12.8 to 13 years old, and this developmental trend of advancing development continues.

　　Therefore, it is not surprising that a small number of girls have menarche at the age of 9 or 10. They have greater potential for future height growth. After menarche, they can grow another 8 to 10 centimeters. This has been confirmed by dynamic observations by scholars.

　　A large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that individual differences in the development level and growth rate of adolescents are most obvious. The phenomenon of girls' sexual maturity exceeding their calendar age is more common among students, and females who develop ahead of schedule are more likely to male Individuals are more common.
