Menarche
Menarche is a normal process of maturation in girls along with the other changes that happen to a girl’s body during puberty. The timing of menarche is important. If a young girl has her first period before the age of 8 she likely has a condition known as precocious puberty. This is not normal and needs further medical attention. If a girl has had an otherwise normal development of her breasts and pubic hair but does not have her first period by the age of 16, she could also have a problem. This is known as delayed menarche or primary amenorrhea.
