Abstract

Puberty is influenced by heredity, nation, environment, race or ethnicity, climatic factors, way of life, exposure to adult mass media and the environment. Children who have entered puberty will experience menarche. Menarche is an early sign of changes in the body such as breast growth, pubic and axillary hair growth, and fat distribution in the hip area. The symptom that often accompanies menarche is discomfort caused by the reduced volume of water in the body during menstruation. Other symptoms that are felt are headaches, aches in the legs and waist for several hours, stomach cramps and abdominal pain. Physical changes at puberty occur in tandem with emotional upheaval and adolescent psychological growth. Adolescent girls who will experience puberty show early signs of menarche showing feelings of confusion, anxiety, and other uncomfortable feelings such as fear and anxiety.
