According to a survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), the majority, or 34.1%, of female adolescent respondents in Indonesia experienced their first menstruation at the age of 11-12 years.

Then, 27.2% experienced it at the age of 13-14 years, 5.4% had their first period at the age of 15-16 years, and 4.6% at the age of 9-10 years.

A small percentage, or 0.3% of respondents, reported their first menstruation at the age of 17-18 years. Meanwhile, 28.4% of adolescents reported not yet experiencing menstruation.

Citing the official Kemenkes website, the first menstruation generally occurs between the ages of 9-12 years. The average duration of menstruation is 3-8 days, with a 28-day cycle.

Adolescents experiencing menstruation tend to have unstable cycles; some experience dysmenorrhea, or pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis during menstruation.

This is caused by the production of the chemical prostaglandin, which is said to cause an imbalance in progesterone hormones in the blood, thus causing pain.
