How to deal with abnormal menstruation in a 14-year-old child

Patient's question:

My child is 14 years old. Her menstrual period has been coming for about a year. The first time it was short, but the second time it didn't stop. She took some medicine, but it didn't work. The third time, she went to a big hospital for an ultrasound and was told to take Golden Eye for half a month. After it cleared up, she went to the hospital again for an ultrasound and was told to keep taking Golden Eye. She said it had side effects and took the good ones, but they ran out. I was afraid she might get sick from it, so I didn't give it to her, and her menstrual period days became shorter. She hasn't had her period for two months, but this time it has been 15 days and still hasn't stopped, and the blood volume is also quite a lot. She doesn't want to take it, and she gets a bit short of breath when running. What's going on? How should it be treated? If she takes medicine, will there be no side effects? I'm very worried because she's still young. Will she recover on her own without treatment?

Doctor's answer:

How is your child doing now? Is there any other discomfort? Based on what you've described, your child may have adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It's recommended that you follow the doctor's advice to regulate your menstrual cycle, as the side effects of medication at this time can be ignored. This is the advice for the question "My child is 14 years old, and menstruation has been approaching for a year," hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
