Patient's question:
Is it normal? Medical history and treatment effects: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help do you want: A 10-year-old girl has her menstrual period twice a month for three months. Is it normal? How should it be handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is normal and there is no need to worry. Currently, if the child does not have other symptoms, do not blindly use medication for treatment.Advice: For a girl's first menstrual period, it usually takes about a year and a half until the period becomes regular. Currently, it is recommended to provide the child with balanced nutrition and ensure adequate rest without overexertion.
During the first six months after a girl starts her period, the menstrual cycle may be irregular, so having two periods in one month is also normal. Generally, after six months, the cycle will become more regular, and there is a adjustment period. Parents should not be anxious.
During the menstrual period, girls should pay attention to the following:
- Pay special attention to calcium supplementation in the diet before and after the period.
- Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, keep warm, and avoid cold baths.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, get adequate rest, and maintain a positive mood.
