These two reasons are causing periods at a younger age. Parents should correct their daughter's bad habits in time
If you're a parent, this article is extremely helpful, as it provides detailed information on the causes of early periods and other important issues. This will help you care for your daughter and avoid this problem
These days, many parents are complaining that their daughters have started menstruating at an early age. This leaves them deeply concerned about why this is happening. However, according to Dr. Aruna Kalra, there are several important reasons behind this. Let's find out what she has to say on this topic. It's also important to understand which bad habits other parents can correct in their daughters in time to avoid the problems of early periods in the future.
Why are girls getting their periods at a younger age?
During a podcast conversation, host Raavya asks Dr. Aruna Kalra, "Girls are getting their periods much earlier these days, unlike before. Why is this so?"
Decreased physical activity
In response, the doctor says that girls these days spend most of their time on their phones. They have to be coerced into playing outside, saying, "Go play outside a little." In contrast, in the old days, we used to spend most of our time playing outside.
Spending time on mobile
Experts say that in the past, parents would have to bring their children home, telling them, "Enough, go home and study." But today, the situation has changed. Children spend most of their time staring at screens. Flashing lights, caused by excessive screen time, can affect the brain. Furthermore, when hormones like melatonin are imbalanced, they can induce early periods in girls.
Medicines should not be taken for period pain
Host Ravya also asks the doctor why period pain is often normalized. It's said that 'it's normal, it's okay to feel pain.' Also, is it okay to say that painkillers shouldn't be given?

All these things are wrong
The doctor says, "Our mothers and elders often tell us, 'Period pain is okay. Don't give your daughter painkillers, as it will disrupt her cycle and affect future fertility.' But that's not the case. So, women should be mindful of this."
