Why do girls get periods?
Aug 4, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
A period is very important for the hormonal balance to happen in a girl,s ,period regulate your hormones and through period ovulation occur giving the egg that when fertilized can afterwards gives a baby
without periods you will be totally different many symptoms might happen and no ovulation will be and thus no fertilized egg and hence no continuity of life .
this what happen during a period :
When girls are born, they have thousands of "eggs" inside their ovaries. After reaching puberty (around 11 to 15 years) roughly every month, this is what happens:

One egg pops out of your ovary because of hormone changes in your body. You have two ovaries each side of the top of your uterus connected to your uterus by your fallopian tubes.

It swims along to your womb or uterus (the womb is where a baby would grow if the egg had been fertilized by a man's sperm) via your fallopian tubes.

The wall of the womb gets all thick and spongy and ready every month, just in case a fertilized egg needs to grow there.

If the egg does not get fertilized by a man's sperm, then the egg and the cells lining the inside of your womb, come away.

They come out in the form of period or blood .
