Average Duration for Adolescent Menstruation
Most first periods last between 2 and 7 days. The first day or two may be slightly heavier, followed by lighter spotting before stopping completely.
Why Irregularity Is Completely Normal at First
The brain-ovary communication pathway (HPA axis) takes 1 to 2 years after menarche to fully mature. That means your second period might arrive 28 days later, or it might skip a month or two! Irregular timing in the first two years of menstruation is normal unless bleeding is excessively heavy.
डॉक्टर से कब परामर्श लें (When to See a Doctor)
- •Periods lasting longer than 8 days.
- •Cycles occurring more frequently than every 21 days.
- •No second period for more than 6 months.
