Ah, teenage. The awkward time where we grow up and our body goes through a plethora of hormonal changes. Cracky voices, hair growth et al. For girls, the biggest change that they go through during this tumultuous period is the onset of menstruation.

This monthly cycle begins as early as the age of 12 for some, while most experience it by 14-15. The 5 dreaded days drain out all energy from the body and usually persist till the age of 55, post which women experience menopause. Did you know why women bleed for 5 days a month? Whether you’re a girl or a guy, this is some pretty vital information that you should definitely be aware. Read on to find out more:
