 THE menstrual Period (Monthly Bleeding In Women)

Most girls have their 'period'or monthly bleeding between the ages of 11 and 16. This means that they are now old enough to become pregnant. The normal period comes once every 28 days or so,and lasts 3 to 6 days.

Also,it may help to take aspirin or ibuprofen or put hot compresses on the belly. 

During the period--as at all times--a woman should take care to keep clean,get enoughsleep,and eat a well- balanced diet.so

She can eat everything she normally eats and can continue to do her usual work. 

SIGNS OF MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS 

Some irregularity in the length of time between periods is normal for certain women,but for others it may be a sign of chronic illness, anemia,malnutrition,or possibly an infection or tumor the womb.

If a period does not come when it should, this may be a sign of pregnancy.
