What are the symptoms of a girl's first menstrual period?

01 Breast pain: Girls may experience breast pain before their first menstruation. Girls are generally between 11 and 14 years old when they have their first menstruation, which is the time when their breasts develop. Breast pain will be more obvious before the first menstruation. 02 Body hair growth: Due to menarche, the secretion of estrogen in girls' bodies increases, causing body hair growth. 03 Increased secretions from the vagina: Before menarche, the vagina will be stimulated to secrete certain substances, which we call leucorrhea. The appearance of leucorrhea is also a prelude to menstruation. Girls who have their first menstruation will have brown-yellow discharge a few days after the appearance of leucorrhea, which is a symptom before menarche.
