When Should I Teach My Kid About Periods? All about Kids' Menstrual Health
Roughly half the world's population will experience periods at some point in their life. Some people dread them. To others, they’re a rite of passage. And periods can range all over the place: light, heavy, long, short, frequent, irregular — everyone’s is unique. But how do you help your kid navigate getting theirs and understand when something’s wrong?
On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with Dr. Asma Chattha about menstrual health, as well as signs that something more serious may be going on.
