Patient's question:
Does early menstruation mean she won't grow tall? My daughter is only 1.4 meters tall and 11 years old. She has already started her period. I went to the hospital, and the doctor suggested giving her growth hormone injections. I'm worried about the side effects. I want to get injections to delay menstruation, but I'm afraid it will affect her height. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Normal girls should start their menstrual period around the age of 13 or 14.Hello, having a menstrual period indicates the onset of puberty, which means the development of female characteristics, and it has nothing to do with growing taller. During puberty, a child may grow rapidly in height over a period of one or two years. It is likely that they will still grow taller.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of these conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided.
