As a teenager who hasn't started menstruating yet, I'm curious about what to expect when my periods eventually begin. Could you share some insights and advice about menstruation (periods)? I'm eager to understand more about this natural process and what it means for me as I transition into this phase of my life. @docmfrank

Periods is your body's natural way of resetting your uterus. Even though you have not started your period, you may have noticed some changes in your body such as increase in height, appearance of hair in your armpits or pubic region and some breast tissue. Some of these appear before your period, indicating your period is around the corner. Your hormones fluctuate throughout each month preparing your uterus for a baby, if you are not pregnant, the egg that was released in the middle of your cycle disintegrates, signalling your uterus to shed off the layer. This comes out as your periods. To prepare you can keep a pad, tampon or menstrual cup ready in your backpack to use when your period starts. Talking to your mom and friends can also help get some insights into how other people around you have managed their periods.
