What should be done if a girl under the age of twelve has irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

My daughter is under 28 years old. Her first menstrual period lasted for ten days, and then she had her second period after 18 days. After that, it became continuous. Sometimes she has a 2 to 3-day break, but then it continues for a long time. The amount of blood flow is not very heavy.
Test results: No abnormalities were found.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: She took a bottle of hemostatic medication, but it had no effect.
The kind of help she needs: Please help the doctor to provide an explanation and a treatment plan.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child is now 12 years old, and it's likely that menstruation will start in the next one or two years. Currently, irregular menstruation in your child is normal because the ovaries are still developing and the hormonal levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body are not yet stable. Therefore, this intermittent and irregular menstrual pattern may reappear. In such cases, it can be left alone and will naturally improve as the child grows and develops. If your child's diet is not being used, it is necessary to provide a proper plan to enhance dietary digestion and nutrition to ensure healthy growth and development.
