Summary
Menarche is the first menstruation that usually occurs in the age range of 10-16 years or in the early teens in the middle of puberty before entering the reproductive period. Menarche is an early sign of other changes such as breast growth, pubic and axillary hair growth, and fat distribution in the hip region. During this time some people feel taboo to discuss menstrual problems in the family, so that early adolescents lack knowledge and attitudes that are quite good about physical and psychological changes related to menarche. In the UK the average reach of menarche is 13 years. Things that can be done include establishing a program for children such as counseling to recognize menarche, where the program will help children be better prepared to face menarche
