Is it normal to have menstruation at the age of eleven?

Patient's question:

My child is 11 years old and got her period on February 14th of this year. She has been having it every two and a half months. I went to the hospital, and they said it should be every two months. She just had her period two months ago, and now she hasn't had it for two months. Is that normal?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
You are currently in puberty, and your ovarian function has not fully developed, which may result in irregular menstruation. There is no need to be overly anxious—just wait a bit longer. Pay attention to personal hygiene and take preventive measures to avoid gynecological infections caused by work. This concludes the explanation for "What should I do if my child, who is 11 years old, had their first menstruation on March 14th this year?"
Finally, we wish the child a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
