“…Menarche is also considered delayed if more than three years pass between thelarche and the first menstrual period. 17,18 The mean age at menarche that was reported in Barros, et al (2019) 9 study was also comparable to the mean age at menarche that was identified in a study conducted in Mexico. The study indicated that in Mexico City, 11 the mean age at the occurrence of menarche in students aged 8-17 years was 11.4 years.…”

Menarche is the process that takes place when the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis matures. This maturation is dependent on adequate hypothalamic and pituitary function, normal female reproductive anatomy, normal nutrition, and the absence of other long-term disorders. When a woman's reproductive health and overall wellbeing are normal, it is a sign that they are not abnormal. However, the substantial decline in the age at menarche that occurred between the early 19th century and the middle of the 20th century was associated with a significant improvement in nutrition and living conditions brought about by the process of modern civilization. Although genetic factors are responsible for approximately 50–80% of the variation in puberty onset age and milestones, environmental factors also play a role. This article demonstrates that individuals with a poor dietary level reach menarche at a later age. Girls have a greater chance of gaining weight if the foods they consume are high in fat and the nutrients that originate from animal products. It is possible for it to enhance levels of the hormone estrogen, which then supports elevated levels of cholesterol. This cycle continues until the desired effect is achieved.

Introduction It is essential to improve global public health and to achieve sustainable developmental goals. Mental health problems are common during menstruation in adolescent girls. Menstrual problems affect academic performance, personal lives, and social lives. Menstrual problems are both affective and somatic. This study is undertaken to study the Impact of Menstruation on the Mental Health of young adolescent girls. The participants ‘ ages range from 15 to 19 years. Adolescent coping method ds Mental health, psychological well-being, and spiritual well-being were assessed. Menstrual-phase respondents exhibited increased psychological traits as a measure of adolescent girls’ coping with mental difficulties. Objectives To evaluate menstruation-related knowledge, attitude, sources of information, and psychological well-being To determine the mental health problems during the menstrual cycle. To find out the association between sociodemographic variables and mental health problems during menstrual cycle Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of the Wardha district. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional research design. A sample of 364 individuals was selected using random sampling. The inclusion criteria were adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who attained menstruation. Exclusion criteria: Girls younger than 15 years and above 19 years, as well as those who were hesitant and uncomfortable asking for information to participate in the study, were excluded. Outcomes Adolescent girls experienced menstruation-related psychosocial issues that are not uncommon. Menstrual distress, burden, stigma, lack of counselling services, lack of preparation menarche, lack of easy access to clean resources, vacy concerns when changing pads are necessary, lack of facilities for disposing sanitary napkins, and inadequate psychological and social support. Most girls experienced stress, mood swings, and restlessness during their menstrual cycle. These findings are consistent with past studies that found that the majority of girls were agitated during menstruation. Approximately 25% of them felt ashamed and guilty about their pubertal changes, and experienced menarche in fear, shyness, and sadness. On the first day of menstruation, girls report psychological problems such as anxiety, trouble concentrating, sadness, irritability, and excitement7. Approximately two-thirds of teenagers in the current study were unaware that menarche occurred earlier.

Background. Menstrual irregularities occupy a leading place among gynecological diseases in girls. It is assumed that there is a connection between reproductive system disorders and sleep in adolescent girls, but to date this issue remains poorly understood.The aim. To study the subjective sleep quality of adolescent girls with irregular and regular menstrual cycles.Materials and methods. A survey of 461 teenage girls living in the city of Irkutsk and the Irkutsk region was conducted in the period from January 2023 to May 2024. Two groups were formed: group 1 – teenage girls with an irregular menstrual cycle (n = 121), group 2 – teenage girls without menstrual disorders (n = 340).Results. Adolescent girls with irregular menstrual cycles had sleep disturbances more often and longer, falling asleep later and taking longer, waking up later, poor sleep and daytime sleepiness. The average duration of sleep on weekdays, regardless of the nature of the menstrual cycle, was below the normal values for this age, which indicates a sleep deficit in adolescent girls.Conclusions. Poor sleep hygiene in adolescent girls, poor quality and short sleep cause disruption of the circadian rhythm that regulates the menstrual cycle. Increasing the duration and improving the quality of sleep are an important component of the formation and maintenance of reproductive health in adolescent girls. Further research is needed to better understand the complex relationships between circadian sleep-wake rhythms and the reproductive system in adolescent girls.
