Does it hurt when you start you period?

It can hurt, but not necessarily. Some women experience menstrual cramps when they menstruate - these are caused by certain hormones that cause the uterus to contract to push out menstrual flow, if you produce more of these hormones or are more sensitive to these hormones you can experience more painful menstrual cramps. Teens can be more prone to menstrual cramps due to hormonal irregularity, thus cramps may be more common when you first start menstruating....BUT although menstrual cramps are common they are not a normal part of healthy menstruation, most women can completely prevent cramps with simple dietary changes or herbal treatments to help regulate hormones.
