What does it mean when girls have their period?

Answer 1

It means you are beginning to become a women. I means you bleed when you urinate, and you may need to wear a pad. It isn't a big deal, you just need to make sure you're prepared, and calm when it does come. No biggie! It just means you're not a kid anymore.

Answer 2

This happens because you are maturing and becoming a women. This makes girls able to have children.

A girl has a small, muscular pouch inside her where a baby can grow. It's called the womb or uterus. It is shaped like an upside-down pear. the "neck" of the pear is called the cervix. The cervix opens into the vagina, which is a passage-way to outside the body. It is between the girl's legs, within fleshy folds called labia (Latin for "lips"). When a girl matures, about twelve years of age, her hormones become active. She starts to grow body hair and breasts. And her uterus gets ready to hold a baby. Part of that leads to having periods. The occasion of a girl's first period is called menarche or start of periods.

Every month, after the period, the uterus grows a soft lining of tissue filled with blood vessels. Her ovaries release a tiny egg. If the egg gets fertilized by sperm from a male, over the next few days it can implant in the soft tissue, take nourishment from the blood, and start multiplying into a ball of cells that will grow into a baby over the next nine months. The fertilized egg releases hormones that keep the soft lining in place.

If the egg does not get fertilized, after a couple of weeks the lining dissolves and leaks out of the cervix, through the vagina, and out of the body. It looks like thick, lumpy blood. It takes a few days to a weak for all of it to drain away. That is called the menstrual period, or menses. ("Mens" means "month" in Latin.)

When a girl starts to have periods, she may get them once every few months. A she gets older, they should become regular and occur about once every four weeks. It's important to keep track so you know if they are regular or not and when to expect the next one. If you have pads, you can carry them when you expect your period.A late period can be a sign of early pregnancy. With a first pregnancy, breasts may be sore very early as they respond to new hormones. If you think you might be pregnant, get a home pregnancy test. If it's positive, make an appointment to see a doctor very soon.

Women usually wear something to catch menstrual blood, such as pads or rags. Some women wear an internal pad called a tampon, which keeps the blood inside until they change the tampon (several times a day). A woman with heavy periods might wear both a tampon and a pad in case the tampon overflows. In some countries they don't have pads, so they stay in an isolated hut for several days until their period is over. They let the blood drip into the ground.

Menstrual blood has a smell of blood and the uterine tissue that is breaking down. Women who have lots of clean water can wash frequently to get rid of the blood. Women without plentiful clean water are not as fortunate. They may have rags to change and rinse out. But their friends can probably tell when they are having their period. This might be why women were traditionally said to be "unclean" by some religions.

A woman is generally stuck with having periods about once every four weeks until she is in her forties or fifties. As she gets older, her hormone levels drop and she becomes less infertile. Her periods gradually become irregular and finally cease altogether. That is called "menopause" or the end of menses.

Answer 3

Healthy girls usually having bleeding from vagina every month. It called "Period" or "Menstruation". Menstruation is the shedding of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) accompanied by bleeding. It occurs every month at the end of your menstrual cycle. Menstruation is coming very regularly throughout a woman's reproductive life, except during pregnancy and during some diseases and treatments. Menstruation starts during puberty (at menarche) and stops permanently at menopause. Discover more in related link (see below).

Answer 4

It simply means that the girl is due to start menstruating. It means that around two weeks beforehand she ovulated, and because the egg wasn't fertilised the body triggered menstruation ready for her next cycle.

Answer 5

Answer 6
