• is major stage of puberty in girls and it is one of
the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a
woman
• girls usually start to go through puberty between the
ages of 8 and 13; their bodies and minds change in

all the parts of a girl’s reductive system have

 Symptoms and
Common
Problems
Menstrual Cramps

• Doctors think that cramps are caused by a chemical

called prostaglandin that causes the muscles of
the uterus to contract. It can be dull and achy or
sharp and intense. It can be felt in the back or tummy
area.
• Over-the-counter pain medicine can help cramps.
Taking a warm bath or putting a warm heating pad
on the lower abdomen can help. Regular exercise
may help lessen cramps
 Symptoms and
Common
Problems
PMS and Pimples

• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is related to changes in the

body’s hormones. The level of hormones can affect
girls both emotionally and physically. Some may feel more
intense emotions. Some may feel bloated or puffy because
of water retention. Other may have swollen and sore
breast, and some get headaches
• PMS usually goes away soon after a period begins, but
it can come back month after month. Eating right, getting
enough sleep, and exercising may help relive some of the
symptoms of PMS

PMS and Pimples

• Having an acne flare-up during menstrual cycle is

very common. This is due to hormones. Pimples
associated with period tend to become less of a
problem as girls get older
