Don't worry: Menstrual periods can vary a great deal, especially when a woman just begins having periods. As long as your daughter does not appear to be uncomfortable or suffering, just wait a few months for her body to adjust to this significant transient, and she should be fine.

A 38-year-old female asked:
Hi there, my daughter started her periods in Oct. 2020. She just turned 15yrs and she's 1.48cm tall with a weight of 40kg. She bleeds for 9-14 days, extremely heavy flow (changes pads 5-8 times a day)! Surely this can't be normal? I'm really worried?
