What should a middle school girl do if she has irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

Hello! I have a daughter at home, who is 14 years old in lunar age. She started her menstrual cycle in the 5th and 6th grades of primary school. After middle school, her periods became irregular. Since her last menstrual period in October, she hasn't had one yet. Is there a problem, or is this a normal phenomenon during puberty?

Doctor's answer:

A 14-year-old girl has irregular menstruation. According to your description, this is a normal phenomenon. Girls within three years of menarche may experience irregular periods due to the incomplete development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in their bodies. If there are no specific symptoms, there is no need to address it. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur and during medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
