At what age is it normal for women to have menstruation? What should I do if my menstruation is delayed?

How many years is normal for women to have menstruation

The early or late menarche is related to economic level and nutritional status, and is also affected by climate, health status, genetics and social environment. Recent surveys have shown that the age of menarche is tending to be earlier. In my country, the age of menarche can be as early as 11-12 years old, as late as 17-18 years old, but most are between 13-15 years old. Women in cities and the south have their menarche earlier than those in rural areas and the north. Therefore, it is generally believed that menstruation between the ages of 11 and 18 is normal.

When a girl has her period, it means that her eggs are mature and ready for fertilization and pregnancy. However, it does not mean that you can get pregnant just because you have your period, because the female body is not fully developed. If you get pregnant too early, it will be bad for both you and the next generation. When a woman has her period, it only means that she has entered a new stage of growth and is gradually developing towards maturity. Generally, she will develop to a relatively mature stage after the age of 20.

What to do if women have delayed menstruation

If a woman with a normal menstrual cycle suddenly experiences delayed menstruation, she should first recall the date of her last menstrual period, how many days she has missed her menstrual period, and take a urine pregnancy test as soon as possible. If you are not pregnant but your menstruation has not come for more than 10 days, it means that your menstruation is abnormal, which may indicate that the function of the female reproductive organs is abnormal. You should go to the gynecology department in time to find out the cause so that you can receive symptomatic treatment.

It is worth mentioning that some women who encounter special circumstances and need to postpone their menstruation should postpone their menstruation under the guidance of a gynecologist. Never act on your own and do not buy medicine at will in the pharmacy to avoid causing menstrual disorders or even certain gynecological diseases.

As a close friend that arrives as scheduled every month, menstruation always brings us some troubles to a greater or lesser extent, and the misunderstandings about it will directly affect our lives.
