The commencement of menstruation signifies the beginning of the reproductive stage in a young woman’s life. Around the age of twelve, the ovaries of a young lady start producing large quantities of estrogen. The ovaries contain two very important female sex hormones called estrogen and progesterone. The increased production of these hormones promotes physical changes and causes young ladies to develop into normal young women capable of giving birth to children.

Along with menstrual flow come the problems of pre-menstrual tension, painful menstrual periods, inadequate menstrual flow, and/or excessive menstrual flow. These disorders are quite common and can be treated successfully in most cases.
