Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what it was like when you first got your period?Doctor's answer:
The first menstrual period is called menarche, which mostly occurs between the ages of 13 and 14. In recent years, the age of menarche has shown a trend of occurring earlier, with some girls experiencing menstruation as early as 9 to 10 years old. After menarche, a period of menstruation occurs at regular intervals, known as the "menstrual cycle." The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
