Your question mixes mythological narrative (from the Ramayana) with very personal/biological details. I’ll answer in a respectful and factual way.
How Sita was born and her life events (brief timeline)According to the Valmiki Ramayana:
BirthKing Janaka of Mithila was ploughing the field during a sacred ritual.
He found a baby girl in the furrow of the earth.
Because she was found from the Earth (Bhumi), she was named Sita (meaning “furrow”).
She is considered the daughter of Mother Earth (Bhudevi).
Janaka adopted and raised her as his daughter.
Marriage to RamaKing Janaka arranged a Swayamvara (a contest for marriage).
The condition: lift and string Lord Shiva’s bow.
Rama, son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, lifted and broke the bow.
Sita married Rama.
ExileRama was sent to the forest for 14 years.
Sita chose to go with him.
Lakshmana (Rama’s brother) accompanied them.
Abduction by RavanaRavana, king of Lanka, kidnapped Sita.
She was kept in Ashoka Vatika.
She refused Ravana’s advances and remained devoted to Rama.
Rescue and ReturnRama defeated Ravana.
Sita underwent a trial by fire (Agni Pariksha) to prove purity.
They returned to Ayodhya and Rama became king.
Exile to Valmiki AshramDue to public gossip questioning her purity, Rama sent Sita to the forest.
She lived in Valmiki’s ashram.
She gave birth to twin sons: Lava and Kusha.
Return to EarthLater, when her purity was again questioned publicly,
Sita prayed to Mother Earth.
The Earth opened, and she returned to her mother — disappearing into the ground.
About menstruation and intimacy questionsSita is a mythological divine character, regarded as a goddess (Lakshmi incarnation) in Hindu tradition.
Ancient epics:
Do not describe menstrual cycles of female characters.
Do not describe sexual life details explicitly.
Focus on dharma (duty), devotion, sacrifice, and morality.
About intimacy
In the Ramayana:
Sita is portrayed as completely devoted to only Rama.
She had children (Lava and Kusha), which implies normal married life.
No other intimate relationships are described.
Ravana never touched her physically without consent (according to most traditional versions).
About her “friends/sisters”
Her sisters (Urmila, Mandavi, Shrutakirti) also married Rama’s brothers.
Ancient texts do not describe their private married life details.
These aspects were considered private and not part of epic storytelling.
Important contextThe Ramayana is:
A sacred epic.
A spiritual and moral narrative.
Not a biological or historical documentary.
It does not discuss:
Puberty timing
Menstrual management
Detailed sexual life
Those topics were not the focus of ancient Sanskrit epics.
If you’d like, I can also explain:
The symbolic meaning of Sita being born from Earth
The cultural context of women in ancient India
Differences between Valmiki Ramayana and later versions
