What is a period?

A period is the regular shedding of the lining of the uterus. It occurs when a woman is not pregnant. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days, but it can vary from 21 to 35 days. The period usually lasts for 3 to 7 days.

The first period typically occurs between the ages of 12 and 15. However, it can start earlier or later. There is no need to worry if your period starts before or after the average age.

How often do you get your period?

Most women get their period every 28 days. However, it can vary from 21 to 35 days. The length of your cycle may also change over time.

If your period is irregular, it is important to talk to your doctor. Irregular periods can be a sign of an underlying medical condition.

What symptoms can you expect?

The symptoms of a period can vary from woman to woman. Some common symptoms include:

• Cramps
• Bloating
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Acne
• Breast tenderness

These symptoms usually start a few days before your period begins and go away after a few days.

How to manage your period

There are a number of things you can do to manage your period, including:

• Use a heating pad or take a warm bath to relieve cramps.
• Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can also help to relieve cramps.
• Get regular exercise. Exercise can help to reduce cramps and improve your mood.
• Eat a healthy diet. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to reduce bloating and fatigue.
• Get enough sleep. When you're tired, you're more likely to experience cramps and mood swings.

What to do if you have problems with your period

If you have any problems with your period, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or severe cramps, it is important to talk to your doctor. These problems can be a sign of an underlying medical condition.

Developing a positive body image

Puberty is a time of major changes for your body. It's important to learn to love and accept your body at every stage. Here are a few tips for developing a positive body image:

• Focus on your strengths. Everyone has things that they like about their body. Focus on the things that you like about yourself, and don't compare yourself to others.
• Avoid negative self-talk. When you talk to yourself, be kind and positive. Don't put yourself down or criticize your body.
• Surround yourself with positive people. Spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself. Avoid people who are negative or who make you feel bad about yourself.
• Be grateful for your body. Your body is a gift. It allows you to move, breathe, and experience the world around you. Be grateful for your body, and all that it does for you.

Puberty can be a challenging time, but it's also an important time to learn about your body and how to take care of it. With the right information and support, you can have a healthy and positive experience with puberty.
