Menarche is the term used to describe the onset of menstruation in females. Menopause (A) is the cessation of menstruation, typically occurring in middle-aged women. Amenorrhea (C) is the absence of menstruation, which could be due to various reasons such as pregnancy, hormonal imbalances or menopause. Dysmenorrhea (D) refers to painful menstruation. Menorrhagia (E) is the excessive bleeding during menstruation. None of these terms fit the description of the first menses in females, which is specifically called menarche.
