Case one: pubertal period
Years 9-12 the girl becomes the girl - time exciting, critical, ambiguous. Age of acquiring a new status depends on many factors: heredity, hormonal background, development of the girl, even nationality and climate specificity. So, it is known that eastern girls and residents of hot countries learn much earlier about what "critical days" are (8-10 years). However, regardless of geography, there is a serious emotional and psychological restructuring of the body, fueled by hormonal storms. The first menstruation behave not in the best way: they come irregularly, they worry too much or with scant excretions, severe pains. Fortunately, this lasts normally up to two years; over time, the cycle becomes regular.
Important:
- Absence of the first monthly to 15 years is an alarming sign. In such a situation, it is necessary to show the girl to the doctor so that he determines the reason for the delay in the onset of menarche.
- Very painful menstruation in young ladies is not a variant of the norm. If a girl is suffering a lot of menarche, or menstruation lasts less than three or more than eight days, a gynecologist should be examined and consulted.
- Painful menstruation can bother young dancers or sportswomen - due to the peculiarities of the development of internal muscles. In any case, do not ignore the pain, and quickly seek advice from a doctor.
- Since ancient times, the Slavs' offensive of the month was considered an important stage in the life of the girl, in connection with which each passed a kind of initiation. Certain rituals had two purposes: ordering the cycle, ensuring its regularity and asking for support from the higher powers, so that they endowed the young girl with fertility.
- In the first weeks after childbirth, a woman may have spotting, which many mistakenly take for menstruation. In fact, these are lochia - excreta, arising from placental separation and damage to the uterus. At the 6-8th week after the birth, the uterus is completely restored and the lochia stops.
The second case: pregnancy and lactation
When exactly the grace period comes, it is not so important. Naturally, the general recommendations of doctors exist. For example, the first-born is advised to give birth at the age of 22-24. The body is already fully formed, and the hormonal background is fixed, the woman is still very young, full of strength and energy for the successful bearing of the child. During pregnancy, physiological amenorrhea, that is, the absence of menstruation, is absolutely logical. It lasts until the lactation and lactation period is over. Then, within two to three months, the cyclic function of the ovaries is restored, after which the menstruation becomes regular. If this does not happen, you need to contact a gynecologist. After birth, the nature of menstruation can change. So, many women who before the birth complained of painful menstruation and high blood loss, often note that these troubles remained in a past life. The reason for pleasant changes is the restructuring of the hormonal background and physiological changes in the uterus.
Case Three: premenopausal period and menopause
Somewhere after forty years, the female body is experiencing a new series of changes. During hormonal adjustment, less estrogen begins to be produced gradually. It is logical that because of this the character of the monthly changes. They become less regular and abundant. At the age of 48-52 years, menopause and menstrual periods come to an end. As a rule, changes do not occur immediately - they are stretched in time. In this almost revolutionary period, a woman should treat herself with special attention, do not ignore the signals of her own organism. As for the terrible stories about tides, sharp weight races, hysterics, today it is considered that all this is not a classic of the climax. They are, rather, an indicator of the general ill health of a woman, not her age. To avoid such problems, sometimes it is enough to increase the overall tone of the body - moderate physical activity, yoga, pilates, relax massage. Sometimes more drastic measures are required - hormone therapy, homeopathic remedies, phytotherapy. Determine the type of treatment can only be supported by a doctor. Therefore, regular visits to the gynecologist and mammologist (minimum - once every six months) for women of elegant age are mandatory. Specialists will prescribe the necessary drugs and will conduct a thorough preventive examination. This will help to avoid gynecological and oncological diseases or to identify them at an early stage, when they are easiest to cure.
