Common teenage period problems include irregular cycles, severe cramps (dysmenorrhea), heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and PMS, often caused by hormonal fluctuations during puberty. While irregular periods are normal in the first 1–2 years, persistent issues may indicate underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues.

Irregular Cycles : Periods that come more than once a month, skip months, or last longer than seven days.
Painful Cramps (Dysmenorrhea) : Intense lower abdominal pain caused by prostaglandin, common in the first few days of menstruation.
Heavy Bleeding (Menorrhagia) : Soaking through pads or tampons in 1–2 hours, needing double protection, or passing large clots.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) : Mood swings, irritability, bloating, and acne.
