Early menarche
I got my first period when I was 8 or 9 years old, which I think is quite early. I'm 20 years old now. Since I started my periods at an early age, am I at a higher risk of developing breast, ovarian, or any other type of cancer? I don’t have any family history of such conditions. If there is a risk, what can I do for prevention?"

This is the usual age of menarche nowadays and doesn't increase the risk of gynecological cancers.You can keep getting periodical screening tests to diagnose early development of carcinoma.
