Is irregular menstruation normal for minors?

Patient's question:

My daughter hasn't had a normal period since she started menstruating. Is it normal for a minor to have irregular menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

After women enter puberty, the secretion of estrogen in their bodies increases, which will lead to the re-emergence of secondary sexual characteristics. The onset of menstruation is a specific manifestation of secondary sexual characteristics. During this period, a woman's body is not fully developed, which can cause endocrine disorders. Menstrual irregularity is a normal physiological phenomenon. As age increases, the functions of various parts of the body will mature, and menstruation will become regular and normal.
