At sixteen, irregular menstruation is normal?

Patient's question:

I am a 40-year-old woman who has been feeling quite tired recently. I have a sense that my body is not healthy, and I wonder if it could be this disease. Could you please answer the following question: Is it normal to have irregular menstruation at the age of sixteen?

Doctor's answer:

Normal, because during adolescence, the tension of the endocrine system in the body can cause menstrual irregularities of varying degrees. Generally, it's not a problem, but if the menstrual irregularities persist for a long time, it's best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out any diseases that may be causing it. Then, the patient needs to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
