Why do only girls have periods?

Because we have ovaries and a uterus. The eggs leave the ovaries, implant into the lining of the uterus, and if not fertilized will shed off, thus giving you your period.

Stress and weight changes can cause you to skip periods every once in a while. See your doctor if you think it's something else.

There are a few different reasons for having irregular periods including hormonal imbalance, infection, and stress. It would be best to see your doctor to see what is going on.

HEY!! Its called hormones!! I do the same thing with my period. My friends joke that i've got the cleanest house in the world, and they also seem to invite me over everytime my PMS is about to start. Hmmm..... maybe its time to get some new friends!!!

We have four times as much of a problem as you gals - we get the 'curse' once a week, that's four times every month and fifty-two times a year.  Consider yourself lucky.  We also have babies, but we keep that secret..........\n\n(Klmno - of course I'm only joking, men/boys do not have a period).

depends on the girl.  for some girls they feel good b/c they r maturing.  but some don't like it.  i know i did not like having my period since i had it young and was the only 1 in my 5th grade class.  some girls don't want 2 get older b/c they still want 2 b a little girl but mostly now i guess they feel better since most girls seem in such a rush to grow up.  i mean im only 16 and it wasn't so long ago i was a little girl and i c a way diffrence between little girls now then girls back when i was.  but once they get 2 their teen years they feel more comftable w/themselves.  but for some it's hard but it's easy when other girls go through with it 2.  b/c they don't feel as odd.

Some girls have irregular ovulation -- that's what causes your period. Most women are regular, ovulate on schedule and only stop when they become pregnant, if there is a medical condition or they hit menopause. But there is a small percentage of women who do not ovulate regularily. In an extreme case - and this is a friend of mine - ovulation only occurs once a year! She had a great deal of difficulty timing things so she could get pregnant, and she and her husband only managed it once. So the answer to your question is yes, some girls just don't get their periods.

Not having periods can be caused by pregnancy, stress, or hormonal imbalance.  I suggest your gf see a doctor to find out why she hasn't had periods, and maybe see a counsellor about her emotional trouble.  Be supportive and let her know that you still care about her.

I understand what you are saying. Periods suck!! Try talking with your doctor and express how you feel. There are different medications that will allow you to have only 4 periods a year. The only sure fire way of never having a period is having a hysterectomy and you are way to young for that.

You can, but every girl is different. Some don't feel comfortable with being sexual during their periods.

i have friends who are 19 or 20 who also had that problem some didnt even have it stop at all.  Their doctors put them on birth control as your period comes only once a month so that you can live a normal life.

Some reasons are more than just a desire to not have a period. Problems like ovarian cysts and endometriosis are treated with those types of pills or shots, because the less you have a period, the less those diseases advance.

Don't feel bad.  I only have my period like four time a year.  It could be because of stress, weight, lack of exercise, or a million reasons.  Other people I know have had it, too. The only thing that cured our problem, is we all went to either a gynecologist or planned parent hood and got on birth control.  Once I was put of birth control, my period was perfect.  You should definitely check with a doctor thought, because build up in the uterus from not having a period increases your chances greatly to develop certain female cancers.

Some of the common reasons for women to have irregular periods [excluding menapause, pregnancy, miscarrage, birth control etc.] would be a sudden drop or gain in wieght or sudden increase in physical activity.  If none of these apply to you, you may need to contact your doctor.  Hope all is well.  Good Luck!
