Patient's question:
A girl starts her period early, will she not grow tall? My daughter is only 1.4 meters tall, 11 years old, and has already had her period. She went to the hospital, and the doctor said to give her growth hormone injections. I'm worried about the side effects. I want to get injections to delay my period, but I'm afraid I won't grow any taller. 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 by about one to 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 gynecological 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, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
