Menstruation is a natural change in a girl's body every month. It usually starts when a girl is between 11 and 16 years old, indicating that you have grown up and entered puberty. Menstruation is a "clean-up" of our body every month to expel excess things from the body. Every month, a girl's body will do some preparations, just like preparing for pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, the body will expel these prepared things, which is what we call menstruation.

Menstruation is generally once a month and usually lasts for 3 to 7 days. Sometimes when you first start menstruating, you may feel uncomfortable, such as period pain, backache, and even a little depressed. These are all normal, don't worry.
