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.

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?
